What do you all think about the AR being more powerful in the halo infinite technical preview. In my opinion the AR being better is good but maybe is too powerful
Its not bad they just need to tone it down just a tiny bit it feels to noob friendly. They also need to buff the sidekick just a little.

I don’t have a problem with the AR. I just felt the other power weapons weren’t really powerful. 2 shots from the shotgun to kill someone is a big change.
Yeah no problem with AR for me. I think the BR could use a very slight buff. Slight. No issues with the sidekick either. I’d need to play around more with some of the newer weapons. From my limited use, I didn’t feel like they were significant. I felt like if I have the AR, BR or the VK78 I didn’t need anything else. These were all fun. Again, I’d like to see the BR get a slight buff but other than that these were a blast.
I think they may have overdone it a little. I do like a more powerful AR, but this thing outshines the BR in most situations (with a handy pistol being in the default loadout for any long distance finishers)
I just pray that 343 doesn’t decide to nerf it to the ground like they did with the 5 one, right now is a good starting weapon. If anything need a buff on that recoil, like is fine on mouse and keyboard but i don’t think is manageable on controller.
Honestly the weapons felt fairly balanced and all had roles. But we will have to see how the whole set of weapons feel.
the brute weapons were too weak in my opinion
The AR seemed to be pretty balanced in my opinion. Some people might say its “noob friendly” but I dont really think so because of the bloom it has. If you just empty your clip without letting go of the trigger then you either get the kill at the end of your clip or you don’t get the kill and you have to switch or reload. Its more rewarding for people who know how to use it properly. If you shoot it in bursts then you will have a much better chance of killing someone more quickly, but you have to know how the weapon works which is why I say its not really noob friendly. Same thing goes with all of the weapons we tested in the tech preview. If you took your time to study the weapons in the academy and shooting range then you would understand that each weapon has its tricks to perform better if you do certain things with it.
Any OG Halo 2 players out there remember the old BR shot melee trick for quick shooting? Try playing around with the BR in the shooting range for a bit and test its limits, you might be pleased because I know I was.
Agreed Ezio. If its nerfed, everyone is just gunna use the sidekick. I think all the guns seemed p balanced, but the BR could use a tiny buff imo.
I disagree, the margin for error is much smaller compared to other weapons making it op to even power weapons. I think they should nerf the range and bloom.

No issues with the side kick ? Lol

What’s wrong with the sidekick?
I think both are fine just where they are i use the AR to widdle down thier shields to near depletion then finish with the sidekick
Better than the BR meta -Yoink- I’ve had to deal with for years.
The AR is in a weird spot for me. I can do pretty well with it but sometimes I’ll spend an entire clip and not get a kill. I also have trouble with the sidekick. It seems very potent and powerful but I use it more as a way to preserve my AR ammo against distant targets. I cannot get a kill with it or do damage with it as reliably as I can with the AR, despite seeing other people do great with it.

Given the sidekick is meant as a backup/cleanup kill gun, I think it’s fine where it’s at especially if i’m fighting anyone on Mouse and Keyboard
