If anything, this game needs a little unbalancing.
I believe that the DMR’s spot as king in the weapons sandbox should be replaced by the BR. Where, just like the DMR, the BR will have a very slight advantage over the other precision weapons.
Why is this a good idea You ask? Well first: the BR has less range, and with more people using BR over DMR we will have less mini snipers on the map, thus encouraging map movement. And second: The BR is just overall more fun to use.
This is the only balance issue I see in the game as of now(as far as weapons go). The assault rifle is not OP, an assaulter is easily downed with a storm rifle or DMR. Boltshot isn’t OP either, it can be easily avoided by strafing or staying away from tight spaces(where the weapon works best).

In your opimon im sure.
however I agree with you that the AR isn’t OPed. the keyword for that is distance.

are you that ignorant?
All of those versions has had 1 or 2 precision weapons. Not 4.
Also, you cant pick what you spawn with.
Between H2 and H3, The Carbine and BR was pretty Balanced.
But since theres 4 precisions weapons, the DMR is more Precise, and its not meant to have a Kin Weapon.
Your logic is very immature as you aren’t open to different views, and simply shutting it down by saying “Please, no posts about why there shouldn’t be a “king” gun.”
There are many variable as to why there shouldnt be a king gun, as to the 4 other halos hasnt tried something like this yet,
The game is balanced, just improperly designed gametypes.
It’s just balanced around imbalance and Halo always has been, you start out with AR/Pistol until you find a better weapon. Until 343 decided custom classes (where weapons have to be balanced around damage) were a good idea.
Remove custom classes and make AA’s on map, with AR/Magnum spawn; would make the game balanced and fun.
However in it’s current state it’s balanced like a 3 legged infestor tripping over spent DMR casings.

if there were no loadouts then there would be less issue with balanced matches imo.
i was open to trying loadouts at first but now i feel that there the reason about all the dmr always beats my br/lr/ar/carbine ect crap so i feel loadouts are a failed experiment of halo.
if it just went back to selecting br on haven/dmr on haven ect then i would feel it would be much better as no matter what haters think the dmr is not better than the dmr and they wouldnt be able to use the you only killed me because your gun is better than my gun bs i here so often

the only way to have truly balanced gameplay imo is if everyone starts every game with exactly the same loadout. just like in the old halos
> There shouldn’t be a “king” there should be balance. There should be a reason to use the other weapons and not only use one all the time.
This is what I’m thinking. As it stands the odds of beating a dmr user med-close range with a carbine is extremely low. The carbine might shoot faster but it can’t counter the damage the dmr inflicts fast enough to get the kill. If anything all non power weapon precision weapons should have the same kill times. DMR, br, lr, carbine - right now it’s pointless using the carbine, if their kill times were all the same people might mix it up; I know I would.

Personlly, I think you are trying to get the BR Mastery Commendation and having a hard time. This is your “thought process” of tilting the gun in your favor to do so with little effort.
I could be wrong.
Since your stats say you never played I don’t know.

No No No No NO. A perfectly balanced game would have everyone spawning with the same weapon. The maps would have no cover. The player can only move forward. No jumping or crouching. The weapon only fire once every 2 seconds (the player has no control over this). No zooming either. Every game also ends in a tie.
Unless a game is like that it will never be truly balanced. And if a game like that does come out, who’d want to play that rubbish?
