I thought I would just write a few of my issue with Halo 4 after a few months playing now.
Boltshot
Personally I think it is way too over powered, and equal, or very close, to that of the shotgun. Seriously, if you wanted people to start the game with a shotgun, then the shotgun should have been put in the basic load outs.
Light Rifle
This really needs to get removed from the basic load out as well, since it is taking away from the game. Seriously, I have forgotten how many times I have watch players just camp in the big team games with light rifles in an all out sniper contest. Sure there is the DMR, which in a one on one straight fight looses to the light rifle, but most times I find myself just trying to move from cover to cover with an AR to try and take people out at close range. The general point is though that, to me, the light rifle takes away the actual play of the game, and turns games in to camper sniping fests.
Campers
On the topic of “campers” there needs to be something in the system to boot inactive players, and not exp point ban them. I have as well lost count how many times I play a Slayer game with 4 players, but only 2 are actually playing. The others are not playing or camping somewhere on the map. It is a team, and 2 people are at a strong disadvantage when up against a 4 person team working together. We end up, most times getting killed, putting a huge deficit in the score, or the campers/inactive players get slaughtered as easy kills. Thank God for the resupply perk…
I might add too that it is getting annoying with players grabbing the power weapons, but not using them. Played a game yesterday watching my team get massacred by a Mantis. Ran a little ways to see a guy with a railgun on his back, but not using it…just running around shooting people with an AR until he died and the other team got the railgun…
The bolt shot is not OP. I rarely ever use it and most of the time the people that try to use it on me end up getting killed by me when I bait them to come around the corner and I take a two steps back and watch their shot miss me. Bolt shot users are free kills if you bait them right.
I’m not sure what you are talking about on the light rifle here because your facts are just plain wrong. First off your lucky just to find one person using it out of all players on both teams. Second the DMR owns the light rifle at all ranges especially since the scoped in light rifle suffers horrendous amounts of flinch compared to the DMR. At close range the DMR stomps the light rifle since the unscoped light rifle has slowest kill time of all precision weapons. Third the DMR has godly amounts of aim assist when compared to any other gun in the game. Fourth if you are killed by a LR user then you were killed by a more skilled player since the LR is one of the only guns in this game that requires a high degree of skill to use.
AFK players need to be kicked and punished with an XP ban or a short ban from match making.
What do expect them to do about people not using the weapons you think they should be using? It’s not like they are going to force you to use your power weapon until it runs dry.

I never see Light Rifles. I hardly see forerunner weapons at all. Every match I’ve played it’s been almost exclusively DMR and BR with 1-2 ARs thrown in.
Ok for those being technical 2 months, as I started in November, as per my service history. Well I seem to have just hit 4-5 games with people using them I guess. As for campers, betrayal gets me booted…
