A sniper rifle that regenerates ammo just causes too many problems in PvP, and Bungie clearly cares more about tweaking PvP rather than PvE.
It's safe to say that Ice Breaker ain't coming back unless Bungie re-designs the weapon completely, which means taking away the very thing that made the gun so special and replacing it with something nowhere as effective.

So why is Icebreaker not allowed but Triple Tap is?
-
With Tripple tap you get one out of three bullets back IF you land the percision shots. Ice break gives you your ammo back simply doing nothing
-
Because if you can proc triple tap on a sniper in Crucible, you deserve the one round.
-
Because you'll rarely activate Triple Tap in PvP.
-
Terrible recoil, bad fire rate. It's fair enough

Smh pvp was never the reason bungie wouldn't bring the ice breaker into year two. The reason they didn't want to bring the ice breaker into year two was because they didn't like people camping one spot and sniping bosses never moving because you had unlimited ammo. They didn't like the fact that people weren't playing the engagements they way they felt they were meant to be played. The gally got the same treatment but they are bringing it back so I wouldn't completely count out them bringing back the ice breaker either. But if they do or don't people need to stop blaming pvp for everything when it was how we used it in pve that made them take it away.

Light means nothing in standard Crucible though so whether it's "brought back" or not makes very little difference to PvP. That evident in Bungie [i]still[/i] nerfing guns like Icebreaker and Thorn in Y2. People claim to even still use Thorn in Trials.

Good point
-
Restrict it from PvP or increase regen time and bring mag size to 4
-
It really doesnt matter it can be used in normal crucible now anyway as its stability and aa is ordinary. Given its fills an exotic slot and 1kys is prevalent doubt it would be the meta in pvp

Editado por Swiftlock: 6/11/2016 11:28:28 PMBungie refuses to split the two metas. Whatever changes that affect a weapon in one meta WILL effect the other. I highly doubt they'd make an exception for the Ice Breaker by making it unusable in one mode. Plus, with 4 shots and an even slower regen time (it was nerfed once already), that'd make it pretty underwhelming in PvE.
-
Or lower regen time and decrease mag size.
-
They already increased the regen time,it takes forever now for it to regen ammo.Plus the recoil was a bitch. If they keep it out of PvP,say double the zoom(it has the most zoom of any sniper) and that should keep it out along with the present "if you switch weapons will dead/alive you loose all ammo". But for PvE bring the regen rate back down and keep 6 rounds.The added zoom in PvE will keep it out of the raids(for the most part) and still be very useable.
-
That would make it almost unusable in PvE
-
Not really... Decrease regen time on bullets by a few seconds and drop the mag down to 4-5. I mean... It literally generates ammo. It's already super OP. I think they haven't brough it back because of how much ammo you could get so fast. But of course, this is my opinion. So as the forums work, I'll probably get hate.
-
They already increased regen time by like 35%-40%(from 5 seconds to 8 seconds).
-
They did nerf it right b4 making it irrelevant though
