3 Weapon complaints (Not DMR!!)

we all know DMR is OP and crap, but thats old.

a few other weapons need tweaks.

  1. plasma pistol drains energy even when fully charged which is unfair as it cant be refilled or reloaded and only has 4 charge shots as it is.

  2. Suppressor is the most rediculously useless gun i have ever seen, it needs to recoil alot less, or have a 10% damage boost.

  3. the Sentry AA.

when using the sentry AA it shouldnt be able to blow up if u accidentally double tap the button.
also, the cooldown shud be based on how long it was out the last time you used it as sometimes double tapping causes you to lose all use.
lastly, it needs 1 of 3 things… A. to follow you around B. to deal more damage or C. to fire faster (fire rate increase)

P.S ive said it before and ill say it again, ditch the limited loadout system.

I think all three are fine. The only problem that the Plasma Pistol causes is in conjunction with Plasma Grenades.

The Suppressor is useful in it’s own way. It slaughters at really close range.

The sentry is not meant to kill people. It’s meant to suppress, distract and harass your targets so that you can put a few shots into them. Very useful in the right hands.

  1. The pp is practically nerfed stupid because of loadouts. Because everyone already has access to them, the only way to increase the amount of charge shots back to the amount you had in the previous games is to ditch loadouts.

  2. Again, thank loadouts for making the suppressor useless. The suppressor is like an smg and should be used as an smg. Only problem is that both the ar and storm rifle (also available via loadouts) have superior range, so the only real us it has is against enemies at super close range.

  3. Sentry? I’ve seen whole teams place them on their flag in ctf, so it isn’t useless. If it can follow you around, might as well make it a sentinel rather than a stationary boltshot…

plasma pistol shudnt use all its energy when its not even being fired.

suppressor i have been using for the last 2 - 3 days and gotten about 37 kils with it overall, its totally useless, i have to spam grenades to get it to kill someone.

sentry is a sentry, its meant to shoot things… it comes up on map, means noone will go near it which means its useless…

it doesnt distract, people just shoot you same as always.
it fires like 1 bullet per second which does nothing damagewise.

With the sentry sometimes you want to blow it up to move on to a different part of the map, if you double tap LB accidentally I guess it’s bad luck.

The plasma pistol has drained when charged for a long time. I can’t remember when it was changed but it used to be that you could walk around with it charged up forever. If it were like that now it would be too powerful.

Yeah the suppressor is garbage really.

not sure how plasma pistol could ever be too powerful :\

it was totally fine to run round with fully charged in the first 3 halo games, 343 just thinks because they have the rights that they can ruin stuff :\

Actually the plasma pistol drain feature was introduced in Halo 3, so you can blame Bungie for that.

Sigh.

If you could hold the Plasma Pistol charged forever, it would be far too strong. That is why you can’t do so. You’d be hit by a -Yoink- combo every time you saw someone.

tbh the plasma pistol is a useless pile of junk due to the drain.

the so called “combo” wouldnt get any plasma pistol kills… so thats beside the point, u can still do said combo with the drain since everyone shows up on minimap.

PP is fine how it is, Suppressor could probably do with a slightly higher RoF, and making the sentry stronger would make it unbalanced. It already does about one DMR shot worth of damage, which already puts you at an advantage if someone was to come by. TBH no Armour Ability should be able to do any damage to another player either way.

Yes it should. If you didn’t know, it started in Halo 3, and it stops people from walking around with it charged all day and getting a cheap shot on someone you just see.

The drain was added in Halo 3

The Autosentry is completely fine. I use it as my primary AA, and I love it. Most useful AA IMO.

The Plasma Pistol draining while fully charged as been in since Halo 3. I believe this should stay.

The Suppressor is complete trash. The reticle is too huge (Plasma Repeater 2.0), it takes too many bullets to get rid of someone’s shields, and it’s only useful when super duper up close in which a melee could easily do the job. I hate this trashy weapon. I’m trying to get it Mastered because I want all my Forerunner weapons Mastered before I work on the other factions, and if it wasn’t for an FFA playlist (which is Regicide, and I hate FFA Regicide), this weapon would be taking very much longer. Almost done with this trashy weapon so I never have to use it again.
I see from a canon perspective that this weapon was designed by the Forerunners to combat Infection Forms easily, however, this is Multiplayer we’re talking about here.

why do they even have forerunner weapons in this game?? theres no point to them… all they are in multiplayer are -Yoink- versions of the human weapons… Light rifle is a crappy DMR/BR… scattershot is a crappy shotgun… bolshot is fairly original… incineration cannon is a rocket launcher… and binary rifle is basically a normal sniper… they shud either do the same damage to health and shields or be removed…

human weapons = good against unarmored
covenant weapons = good against shields
forerunner weapons should be all rounder but weaker in general.

OP complains about the things that he doesn’t know how to use? I feel like this is the thruster pack argument all over again.

The PP is well balanced since it has the capability to do other things then take out shields for a “noob combo.”

The suppressor is an amazing CQB weapon if used only in CQB situations.

The sentry if placed well, then all kills coming to you will only be 3-4 shots.
Its a free team shot AI device.

I disagree, here’s why

  1. Plasma pistol is already very easy to hit emps with, being able to hold the charge indefinitely would take away any fragment of skill required to use it effectively, could drain much slower and do more damage with single fire, but the EMP already does everything you could expect of a sidearm and then some

  2. Suppressor is the strongest automatic, try it in range

  3. Sentry bot does a great job distracting opponents and shortening kill times with automatics, also it can make the br a 4shot kill by landing one shot for you, or gather assists, or alert you to flanking enemies if you place it right. It’s not supposed to be a killer

No. If we have PP’s in spawn we need them nerfed.

No. Suppressor at close range is a destroyed. It’s just a peashooter at mid range, and in close range the Boltshot is more favorable.

No. Autosentry is useful if you know how to use it.

the supressor is a joke of a weapon, i dont know where you guys use it?

i can get kills with it on the off chance that someone else shoots the person, or the person doesnt notice me the whole time im walking up to them…

UNSC assault rifle is far more effective, which is a shame…

I agree, I use it for spartan ops but I’m never going to try it in MM because of the amounts of double tap wastes i’ve had in spartan ops. (And because I love thruster pack too much :))
