Are there any downsides to the Binary Rifle?

So the binary rifle is a one shot kill so it has to have some down sides. if there arent any announced then do you have any ideas?
my ideas for the binary rifle are

  1. it could be really hard to aim

  2. it could take away half of your shields to shoot it

  3. it has very limited ammo

  4. it could slow you down

do you have any ideas that might be a downside of the binary rifle?

Well if you yell after every awzum kill, maybe you will upset your neighbors

It looks to be tough to no-scope with. Like, point blank only no-scoping.

Well when it’s not scoped in it has a pretty big reticle, so I imagine it’s hard to no scope with. But I actually really like the idea of it hurting you when you shoot it. At least if it turns out to be OP, I like the idea.

I bet it makes you move slower when having it out.

It only has 2 shots per reload. Compare this to 4 with the human sniper and 10 with the beam rifle. That is major downside.

So theoretically with the beam rifle you could get 10 kills without reloading, 4 kills with the human sniper and only 2 with the binary rifle.

Sniping in Halo 4 will be harder across the board…There are going to be some reach snipers embarassing themselves on day one when they realise people can strafe and cant rely on bullet magnetism.

Pretty much what some people have said, large reticule when not zoomed, 2 rounds per clip.
So it’s harder to aim and has limited ammo basically.

It seems that no scoping with it isn’t that hard, maybe it’s just luck, I don’t know.
