No, this isn’t (exactly) a DMR hate thread either, so hear me out.

Plasma Pistol
One thing I loved about Reach is the plasma pistol was actual capable of killing things effectively. I believe strongly that the plasma pistol needs both a simultaneous buff and nerf.

The plasma pistol should do more damage, have more homing, and it shouldn’t stun vehicles as much. Shooting enemies with the plasma pistol takes skill, you actually have to lead targets due to the projectile nature of the weapon. It should be rewarding for this. Right now the effort-reward ratio is just abysmal.

At the same time, allowing everyone to spawn with a vehicle disabler is a bit ridiculous, especially when vehicles are already extremely easy to destroy if a team coordinates fire.

You have a commendation for killing enemy spartans with the plasma pistol 343, but right now it would be insane to expect anyone to pull it off.

DMR and Battle Rifle

Contrary to popular belief, I believe the DMR is balanced with the rest of the game. The issue though is that it already fills the Battle Rifle’s niche.

The DMR could use a slight firing speed nerf, and the Battle Rifle needs buffed or tweaked.

TL:DR Buff the BR, leave the DMR alone for the most part.

here come ta Boltshot ragers

I also think a RoF reduction is in order, or perhaps faster retical expansion. Thats my opinion.

Agree with the second, not with the first.

Nobody needs a Noob-Combo from spawn.

I don’t see how upping the semi-auto damage makes it into a noob combo, unless you mean the homing aspect.

Even without homing I believe a damage buff is necessary.
