The battle rifle should be de-buff because a gun that can go through your shields is already Over POWERED as -Yoink- but making it a -Yoink!- burst WHAT THE -Yoink-. The Dmr has OP points to but still a gun that goes through shields come on now. -Yoink- THE BATTLE RIFLE 3 burst and 1 headshot not 2 or 3 1 MOTHER -Yoinking!- HEADSHOT and your instantly -Yoinked!-
You keep complaining about the bleedthrough ability of the BR, but offer NOTHING that actually makes the BR over-powered nor explain why bleedthrough is a bad thing.
BR is the optimal mid-range weapon so it should dominate mid-range, like it does now (thanks to bleedthrough and 4-burst kill ability).
AR dominates short range because of the latest buff for it. Automatic fire also strengthens AR’s role as a short-range rifle because at close range automatic weapons are easier and more reliable against moving targets than semi-automatic weapons.
I can’t really say anything about Storm Rifle. I don’t think I have ever used it in MP except a couple of times I picked it up from the ground, so I won’t go further into that.
Suppressor is the best weapon at really close range, almost at melee range. It dominates its intended range, but in that range encounters rarely occur in Halo. That’s why I think it should be changed to fit the same role AR does.
DMR is the dominant weapon at mid-long range. It used to dominate at BR’s intended range which made it OP. Thankfully, it was changed because now it has its own role.
Light Rifle is the best rifle at long range in capable hands. I’m not saying it’s OP, but there’s no counter for a skilled Light rifle user at Light Rifle’s intended range. It’s as it should be.
Carbine should be updated somehow. It is a great weapon for mid-range, but it has too many downsides to it to be viable against BR at mid-range.
