In Plaza why did you leave the unbalanced REQ weapon in? It drastically changes movement and motion sensor mechanics? Please change it to either a default SMG or one with just an alternate scope. ARENA is about equal and standard mechanics, drastically changing these removes the competitiveness of that section.
On the note of REQ weapons in ARENA, the exception would be the Suppressor and Spartan Laser, these weapons are so underwhelming that it is pointless to even spawn them on any map, so to remedy this a Song of Peace (Razor’s Edge acts too much like a Needler with the supercombine which is too overpowered) and a Endgame for non-vehicular ARENA modes (Selene’s Lance is too overpowered) are perfect for infantry based warfare.
> Song of Peace: In the chaotic final days of the Forerunner Ecumene an unfortunate number of the Librarian’s Conservation Measure operations required military intervention to complete. Upgraded Suppressor with both a faster rate of fire and reduced recoil.
So faster kill times, with the same default amount of damage and better accuracy so more shots hit. (SMG fastest rate of fire, loads of recoil; Storm Rifle strongest power, slow rate of fire)
> Endgame: Endgame is an improved model of the M6/E variant with more battery capacity and reduced charge time. It has the downside of having less power.
So more ammunition for less power, but in the ARENA the less power against infantry is still a insta-kill post charge which allows for about 8 kills rather than the standardized 4 kills.
What do you think about REQ weapon variants in ranked ARENA?
