Hmhm, amusing Mayhem.
But of course we would love to see this return, as it was a feature inherited during the franchise's pinnacle game and story, Halo 2. This ability adored by the players due to its efficiency and speed of execution, leaving you with only a mere reload to stress about... which is not that much of a drawback. Sure, I'd like to see it come back, SMGs maybe, but if that package were to slide with me with minimal friction, I'm afraid it will demand the return of the Brute Spiker, maybe the ONLY automatic weapon, aside from the SMG, that I like; for its appearance and performance of course.
So... bring it back if you will, but it will all matter on its conduction, because no one can say they are a stranger to the phrase "Good things gone bad".
