"Pulse meta for years" Echoes was red death then quickly swapped to hand cannon, Revenant was hand cannon then swapped to pulse, Heresy was pulse but it's now turning to hand cannons (Mostly crimil) and before Final Shape it was mostly hand cannon. Where'd you get "Pulse meta for years" from? Pulse rifles only have gotten about half of each episode before becoming hand cannons and it's been mostly hand cannon metas with only a short swap to another meta every few seasons. Also there's a reason they're trying to get more people into pvp. It's because pvp is dying and they're attempt at making things like strikes "harder" as only resulted in less people playing them because now new players and average players don't wanna play them. And bungie is unwilling to go back on some changes so now they're trying to make pvp the new player experience but pvp is sweat fest especially now that sbmm is basically gone at this point so they don't wanna play it either.
