You. Are. A. -blam!-ing. Idiot. Thorn is still a great gun. In my opinion, it is one of the best guns in the game. People are just -blam!-ing retards. At first, Thorn wasn't a good gun because it was bad for both long range gunfights and CQB, being outmatched by Hawkmoon and Last Word, respectively. Then when they patched it, everybody was about this gun. When HoW came out, everyone used it in Trials. But when Bungie noticed this, they had to crack down on the gun to keep the playing field even. And not just Thorn was affected. A whole bunch of Exotics were toned down because of player abuse, including Hawkmoon, Ice Breaker, Gjallarhorn, etc. The thing people need to realize is that this isn't Halo anymore. If the community is plagued by something, Bungie will create a cure. They won't let something like you; a Thorn in their side, get in the way.
