I believer that bungie is completely killing the black hammer off as a weapon choice because people only used it for the single reason that it had virtually unlimited ammo in pVe. No one used it in pVp and snipers, excluding final round high impact snipers, are basically balanced in pVp. Bungie, you shouldn't be destroying the key purpose of this weapon which is to reward a skilled marksman with their excellent aim. If you destroy such a loved and unhated weapon, then you should also take an even better look at the thorn. Even with the new patches you are applying, it will make no difference on the amount of people that will use it. It will still be the number one used weapon in pVp. More thought and time needs to be put into this one weapon, rather than ruining something that has had zero complaints made against it. -Sean W.
