Balancing Binary Rifle

I’m sure many of you had found out about the binary rifle being a 1 shot kill, but with half the clip of the human sniper. Even with that, I still think it’s not balanced because there shouldn’t be moments where shooting someone’s foot instantly kills them. They should make the 1-hit box containing the head, shoulders, and torso. The rest of the body limbs require the additional shot. To be honest it should just be the head only, but I understand it’s hard to make each sniper function different without causing too much problems.

2 shots per clip. I think it’s good. It IS a forerunner weapon, I’m sure it could be much worse, but for balancing purposes, it is how it is.

I think a half second delay between pulling the trigger and firing should be added. It would make it harder to get a kill with the weapon without making it redundant in any way.

One shot per clip should be a good balance. Or make it a weapon that has an effect on you like in Gear 3 where you slow down, or can’t turn as quickly.

It’s Promethean, so of course it will be powerful.

I do like the idea of limbs being two shot kill. But I don’t really have a problem with it at the moment.

I’m just concerned about aim-assist. I mean, that guy in the video who was playing managed to get like three kills in a row by just turning around and shooting another player with FAR too much ease.

If this change were to occur, 343 would have to rename the weapon.

Why the -Yoink- is there a 1 shot kill weapon in Halo?! WHAT THE -Yoink-?!?!?!?!! Yoo 343 WHAT THE -Yoink-?! Honestly WHAT THE -Yoink-?! I hear the egomaniacal hive minded dishonorable players coming MILES away. I can’t believe this has happened. People and their mentality ruin games and i see this weapon being over used and abused like a mother! Options like this really allow people to exist in a game they otherwise wouldn’t be able to hang in. Like Armor Lock users, if Armor Lock wasn’t in Reach each of those people wouldn’t be on reach taking up space on the team.

Ive started to liken them to the sawed-off and gnasher from gears.

Do you even know what Binary means? The name has nothing to do with the functionality of the weapon and everything to do with the amount of rounds in it. His idea is also logical and i can’t believe the gun has been put in to the game without this idea.

Let’s try to stay on-topic.

There has been a single shot kill weapon since H3, its called the Spartan Laser…hated it too. imagine that the favorite part of your favorite game just got screwed because the one thing that puts fear in the hearts of nearly every competitor just got reduced to a smoking rubble thanks to a bright red glare…thanks Bungie.

Wow, 343 really does listen.

Anyway like I said, Gnasher and Sawed off.
Sawed off is an almost guaranteed kill, but after that you’d better have a backup or get the -Yoink- outta there.

I’ve seen people roll into the middle of 3-4 man groups with the Gnasher and, well, gnash the -Yoink- out of them and come out the other side.

Actually, the binary could be referring to the fact that a person is alive or “on” (I), or they are dead or “off” (O).

Binary=1 kill for all=Slow firing speed and 2 shots per clip.
Normal Sniper=2 shots to body to kill.good sized clip,Ok shooting speed.
Beamer=Takes 3 shots to the body to kill,shoots very fast.

The binary rifle in multiplayer is the least of your worries. All we can hope is that Jackal snipers don’t get ahold of this gun.
