I have to say the balance in this game is surreal for a year before launch. I haven’t found one weapon that is OP.
The smg in one game had sniper distance for 2 minutes. It was dope.
The ar can cross map you…this is a problem. It should only be good in close range and it should never beat a BR at mid range unless the BR is missing shots. The ads has serious balancing issues
I hear you OP. I know a lot of people say the Assault Rifle is OP, but I honestly think that’s just because it’s been closer to the “useless” end of the spectrum for so long. I still destroy AR wielders when I get a BR or DMR, or even an SMG when you get up close and personal.
So far, the only thing I’d really tweak is the bounce on the human grenade. Damn thing hops around like it’s made out of rubber right now. >.<
Everything seems to fit. I hope the covenant weapons are just as awesome. It makes me wonder what the campaign is going to be like. I feel like we’re going to go back to the CE days were literally every weapon could have its use.
I’d say that the abilities are very balanced, and I’m quite pleased with them, they’ve really fun.
The AR I think is a bit OP, but not a lot, and I’m still trying to get used to using the BR/DMR with the smart scope aiming
lol really? I bet you just use the AR. The AR and SMG are both annoyingly OP
I’ll have to disagree with the balance comment. Though i think it is headed in a decent direction… once constant that both 343 and Bungie have missed (and bungie always fixed months after launch) was the fact NOT starting with a decent primary weapon (Halo CE pistol, BR, DMR) made the game unbalanced. One needs to be able to spawn and immediately be in the fight… having to search for a mid-long range weapon is silly.

I use the Magnum a lot, which I can sometimes use to counter the AR while backpedaling, but AR ambushes are pretty annoying. I love the Magnum, it fires so fast and straight, and if you can stay accurate with all the moving around, it’s very deadly.
I have yet to be killed across the map with a smg, or assault rife. If you can’t 4 shot someone, and are complaining because of that then its your own problem.
I love the balance. Sprint haters should love sprint now that it’s the most dangerous feature to use instead of the most forgiving.

It can’t cross map you unless you are standing still and not fighting back, and these are also small maps. If the AR is only good in close range, then it’s just a worse SMG. The balance is indeed very, very good, the best it’s ever been in a halo game other then perhaps CE and Reach.
