sigh, i wish devs wouldnt cave to this

every popular multiplayer game i've played since halo 2 has one weapon people whine about

Nerf..Does that mean they go soft and do what some fans want? I am lost on what Nerf means.

Yes, to nerf the gun usually means they lowered the power in some way.  In this instance, they reduced the range that the SOS could gib people in.

I do not agree with littlejudas here though - the width of this weapon meant just about anything on screen was destroyed, when within range, without having to aim.  It was overpowered.  Nerfing the range was not caving to whining, it was balancing the weapons and makes the MP much more enjoyable to it's dedicated fanbase.  That should be applauded, IMO.
