Time and time again I find myself being mowed down by Ar’s, SMG’s, and storm rifles at an alarming rate. However the insane kill rate of these weapons isn’t even the biggest issue, it’s some of the RANGES from which I am being melted from. Countless times I have found myself outdueled from medium ranges by automatics with a BR or magnum and I pride myself on having an excellent shot. These weapons need to be heavily toned down as they are simply insane at the moment, the amount of counter play is so small that they are not only excelling in CQC but at medium ranges which should NEVER happen. But don’t take my word for it, watch Snipedowns latest YouTube video where he is discussing the current state of the game, in it he repeatedly states that automatics across the board are in need of nerfs.
Sincerely,
A guy sick of being shredded by weapons that dont give you enough time to react
It’s either latency or scoping.
When ever I’ve used an automatic weapon TTK never feels fluid.
Most of the time I think it’s lag cause my hits don’t seem to be landing generally.
It’s funny watching Halo players react to automatics finally being viable.
I’m glad they’re useful. They’re not overpowered and it’s pretty easy to keep yourself out of their viable ranges.

I just want to confirm what I am reading… Is this post geared toward Warzone play? Arena Play? Both?
Overpowered autos is part of the reason I stopped playing this game. Spray weapons don’t belong in a competitive environment - let alone the freakin’ HCS league.
Here we go again folks. Another monthly “nerf the autos” thread.

These are monthly? I could have sworn they stopped being a thing a couple months after launch.
Oh my -Yoinking!- god, “hey, let’s nerf the automatic weapons because I got killed by someone who knows how to use it”. Read what’s in the quotation marks. Sounds stupid, right? That’s pretty much what you just posted. Can you cross map with the storm rifle?! NO! Can you take down an army of tanks with an assault rifle?! NO! Everyone has an equal chance of getting the automatic weapons, so it mostly negates how “”""""""""""“overpowered”""""""""""" these weapons are.
And yet people are still getting headshots on me the majority of the time… Personally, I think Halo 5’s sandbox is great. There is a time and place for every weapon. If anything, range on autos are something for them to look into for Halo 6: My suggestion, get rid of smartlink for autos and then your range problem is solved.
Halo veteran speaking… they feel great. Strong/ideal in their intended ranges…
You shouldn’t be getting killed at mid-range by automatics. Precision weapons will beat them 9 times out of 10, easy…

Same here, I stayed out of Arena because of that. I could still hold my own against them, it’s just too annoying to have to worry about being sprayed down by any given automatic 100% of the time because the maps are cramped and CQC-centric.
And to offset the buff to automatics, precision weapons got an insane accuracy buff, so BTB was garbage. Couldn’t take playing the game anymore.
the only thing that needs to be changed is the headshot bonus. That can be removed and they will still be viable yet be nerfed for ranged combat (which is a good thing)
oh boy! tell us again how autos are noobish and how the only way to play with skill is with BRs.

I mean, it’s a well-known fact that spray weapons are random and less skillful, so…

The problem is that literally everybody knows how to use them. There is no learning curve to them and they are stupid easy to use.

You’re on waypoint…might need to define what you mean by well known fact.
Scope in and place your shots with an AR, especially when I guy is hurt or to keep his shields down is a viable use of these weapons. Never should an AR beat a BR if you are in a head to head at medium range. If this does happen it is because of one of a few things including you moving it to a medium short to short range battle, you missing your shots, you being hurt already. These are the primary reasons that would happen
I for one have never felt like I’m being dominated by autos. The negative experience referenced here is foreign to me. When I am killed by an auto, it’s because I missed shots with by semi, or someone used it at its intended range and got the jump on me. They’ve never seemed overpowered though.

If you’re getting beaten in mid range while holding a BR or a Magnum, either you’re not as great a shot as you think you are, or they are really good with automatics to not miss, and therefore deserve the win.
Automatics are in need of nerfs, but not a direct nerf like that.

I use the br more often then not, but there is a learning curve as to when and how to use these weapons. Scoping and burst firing is a whole lot different then just slamming the trigger and running in guns blazing
