CRU folks are kind of ignoring pro-pipes in the meta. (Destiny)

I mean, it's not called the Casual-pipe.

I remember when they added it to Reach and it was the noob-tube. Whether that was because it was so good even idiots could use it, or because it was only good against idiots, I’m not actually sure.

Pretty sure it was because grenade launchers were generally looked down on at the time, thanks to Call of Duty, where you could stick one on your Assault Rifles to give you loads of grenade ammo that you could rack up multikills with.

It wasn't remotely that simple in Reach, but the associative hatred carried over, I feel. In fact, I think Bungie themselves coined the term "Pro-pipe" with regards to it in Reach during a vi-doc or magazine article, to allay fears that people had about it being CoD-esque.
