Following the release of the Zero Bloom, I found that the Pistol and DMR are not “overpowered” but just a little uneven to those who prefer closer ranges, I feel that if they either Buffed the AR up, or they made a playlist that only allows ARs because I have noticed that the AR is hardly ever used, I feel its because it is just so underpowered and underrated that nobody considers it. In H3, people mostly dropped the AR because it wasnt they’re style of play and they wernt skilled with it. Im always getting “AR takes no skill” and “Learn to aim, you hate the DMR cuz you suck at aiming, get better noob” and I have seen videos where people used the AR like an All-Purpose Weapon, which is what it is supposted to be, but no, just make the Pistol and DMR = Halo: CE, then make the AR out of cardboard because we dont want people to “work up” to being good, “No, we want it so if you were born a good player, then you are, if your not, you shouldnt be able to get better” Stupid eh? i have gotten over 4 messages in the past hour almost identical to those. Do you feel that the AR is a weapon that is a So-So weapon, and a good weapon when mastered? Or do you feel that you should not be able to use the AR because all other weapons have more damage and better accuracy? And to you trolls out there! No saying its cuz im bad and need to get better, thats BS!! Its because I cant get better with the Inferior weapons im good with!
Im fine with an AR only playlist as long as we can get a DMR playlist, i would HIGHLY PREFER one with Zero Bloom
Your post hurt and disgusted me in various ways, but Imma just say “No.”
The AR doesn’t take much skill to be mastered, it has a really slow kill time, and the magnetism causes shots to hit the target as long as your crosshair is red. No thank you.
lol? that lame "oh lets have us a long range gun with 110% accuracy (to the stupid grammar nerds, its figurative language! look it up) and higher damage that can now be sprayed in the general direction of the target and get a headshot? yet a gun that is really only a closerange weapon isnt affected by zero bloom? atleast make the zero bloom affect all weapons and not just the single shots, look at the plasma repeater and AR, if the zero bloom only makes the magnum and DMR better and not the auto weapons, please tell me that I wont be seeing the noob combo or this rockets & DMR and crap. nobody uses the AR as it is, unless you camo camp in a house, and by what i got from the TU is that AC is being nerfed! Is this true? am i going to have to play that -Yoink- Black Ops game agian? And I said that was the worst game ever… If they are going to make used weapons better and unused weapons even more useless, thats like a day of “100,000 cR a game” Imagine that? everyone maxes out in a day by getting into a game, then watching youtube? (lol, fail, i know i screwed up there, no need to tell me!) Just someone promise be Camo and the AR arnt going from unused to useless! And the AR isnt an easy weapon to master, the Rocket launcher is! you dont even need to aim at someone, anywhere within 1 redicule diameter is a kill (have you seen the rockets reticule?!?) And if its easy to master the AR now, it wont be in a month, when the DMR = Sniper/DMR Hybrid, and the AR = Salmon!!!
It’s dumb that in no bloom gametypes the AR is literaly useless.
> It’s dumb that in no bloom gametypes the AR is literaly useless.
its like that now, but in no bloom, it makes the single shots better, but doesnt do crap to autos, I think its that people think single shots take more skill, they dont, for the slower rate of fire, they have a longer range and more damage per shot, 1 clip of AR = 4-5 DMR
lol
Auto weapons have never had any attention in Halo. I don’t see why they should now.
They should, Why are semi autos better than full autos? , its like comparing two six inch sandwiches to a footlong sandwich, eventhough you cant shoot as fast or have as many shots on a semi, the semi does more damage and has a larger range, balencing it out. Its as if they feel that the MLG people are gods and what they say is fact… News Flash for ya, its not! Just think about it, what would you rather see? a Sniper montage, or a Rocket montage/custom game killing a guest for a killionaire? I believe that going 20-1 with the DMR or Magnum isnt as good as 20-1 with an AR because:
The worse ability a weapon has = the more skill required by the user ex. AR
The more ability a weapon has = less skill required by the user ex. Rocket launcher
lolno
Honest, you do already have An AR playlist, its called team slayer, I swear If I don’t go in with a full team, AR starts get voted for every time.
I think the Assault Rifle needs to be a tad more powerful. Just a tad. It’s less accurate because fully automatics are supposed to be but they should make up for it by at least being powerful at close range.
lol, if I wanted a playlist with AR i could choose invasion, BTB, or Classic slayer, but if they are going to nerf camo and not apply bloom to autos, then that says that even if you can start with the AR, nobody will because The DMR and magnum will be the only way to get kills. If anyone wants to see my point, send me a message, i will start a Zero bloom, i use only DMR and you only get AR and you will see the amount of BS
lol, and with the DMR now and after bloom, you can get a kill only shooting, 95% of the AR kills are the AR unloading a full clip into the shields, followed by either a melee or pistol swap… so your using the AR agianst shotguns and swords… it needs to be able to get a kill with only the gun, so technically the AR still takes more skill because you cant do a pistol snipe or burst for a DMR range, you must compete with the swords and shotties.

Why would you use the AR, against a zero bloom dmr or pistol? Everyone should know the Ar becomes worthless in the settings. If we do get a zero bloom playlist, wont be seeing ARs at all, (good thing imo)

Yes. I agree. Very good thing. Kids can’t just spray and pray. They have to learn how to play like all the old dogs did. But I know how people are these days. They want to be the best right at start and that’s what they are trying to do with these kind of post.
TIP: You get better by getting your butt kicked by players way better than you over and over and over.
then why dont they just take out half the guns in the game, nobody uses the plasma rifle, repeater, AR, hardly ever use the PP, tbh they might as well just remove most weapons if they are useless in the first place…

There you go! N need for all these redundant and useless automatics. There is only need for the AR, anyway. Can’t make the game too hard for noobs.

you just did lol, when the DMR is basically a sniper rifle, and AR is still the same old AR though
my point is, the DMR and Pistol just isnt everybodies weapon, some people prefer the AR, and it seems not only the noobs, but those people are being punished. Imagine being punished for the weapon your comfortable with? Thats what happens when zero bloom affects one weapon but not the other. So i either have to reverse time, and start halo 2 with a battle rifle instead, or I just cant use a weapon I am used to
Use a DMR or Pistol
Fix’d
that the thing im trying to avoid! did you even read the post?!? I started off with the AR, then went through H3 with the AR, now in halo reach, I am being penalized for the weapon I use?!? why dont they just make it so if you betray someone more than once a minute then you can boot, if you boot and they only betrayed you once, you get removed and banned too… would you enjoy that?!? you think they should do that? ban both the betrayer and the one whose betrayed? exactly, People shouldnt be penalized for doing nothing wrong!
