Anyone else just not having fun with just the AR?
I know aiming is a major issue for a lot of us controller folks, but even beyond that I think the worst aspect of this game has to be the TTK.
Part of the beauty of Halo is to explore the map and utilize more of the sandbox. The issue is I die so fast I hardly use anything other than an AR. I don’t even want to bother searching the Maps for other guns because by the time I get there I may get one kill and be out with it.
If they want to keep the AR with range, fine. But the TTK has to slow down and SHIELDS NEED TO RECHARGE QUICKER for most folks to feel like it’s worth using anything but their starting AR
Honestly it makes me wonder what this game would be like with BR starts. I love using the BR in other games (minus 5) but I can’t stay alive long enough to use it plus the ARs length just really doesn’t make it worth the effort to secure, especially with the aim issues going on in this and the last flight.
if feels like they tried to make every weapon viable at every range. which is just terrible in an arena shooter based on power weapons and map control
- there is basically no reason to go for power weapons unless its a 1 hit kill weapon like rockets or sniper
- both starting weapons rival power weapons to the point the power weapons are useless
definitely need to increase the TTK and makes shields a larger portion of overall health.
AR needs a range nerf
Sidearm needs more recoil and less rate of fire but increased damage for balance
BR feels pretty good in my opinion
Movespeed needs to be slightly slower. its to easy to sprint away and survive most of the time

I agree with just about everything besides the sidearm note. I think the sidearm plays well as a finish off weapon. Burts the shields quickly switch over and fire the sidearm.
BR does feel nice in this game. I’d love to see how it plays with Br starts.
I think everything you said about the sidearm should be applied to the commando though. I don’t even bother with that gun, even in training.

Watching some streams and seeing how OP the AR is is honestly making me laugh and smile! I love it so much!

I mean it’s alright, and I’m sure AR enthusiast are happy, but it either shouldn’t be a starting weapon or needs alteration so other weapons actually have meaning.

I absolutely agree. The AR shouldn’t be the default starting weapon. A close to mid range weapon like the DMR or BR in recent Halo’s is much more competitive and balanced at the start.
