Why the fuck would they replace the SPNKR? I hope someone Pushes Bravo into a lake and drills a hole in Bonnie Ross' Cannoe

And despite how iconic the M41 SSR is, it's an absolute waste of resources and completely impracticable. Now, I'm not saying the old launcher was dumb, because it is iconic to the franchise, so I'm intrigued by the fact they went for a somewhat generic design. At least they Halo-fied it.Anyway, so the shoulder mounted part of the M41, was the thing you wanted to keep. In Halo CE and Halo 2, the entirety of the two tubes was disposable. So when you were reloading the M41, you were pushing those two tubes off the launcher, and putting another set it. It's extremely impracticable. Then in Halo 3 and beyond, Bungie tried to make it more practical by only having the front half of the tubes be the disposable part. But still, it's wasteful and impracticable. So I do like this new design from a story POV because it's logical. Instead of disposing of the tube(s) you have this little cartridge with two rockets inside.In the ideal scenario, they simply would have had a new variant of the M41 where the tubes were no longer disposable and you just had a cartridge. But then it begs the question of why you would need two tubes anymore...Hmm...Anyway, just sharing my thoughts on the matter.

Why would they change such a classic iconic design and turn it into a generic piece of shit?
Dammit 343, the original Rocket Launcher looked awesome.
