It seems pretty OP getting sniped from so far away (and to add insult to injury, whilst behind cover). What do you think? Should it be nerfed and have an additonal long range weapon added to the sandbox?
Seems fine to me. Battle Rifles and precision weapons in general should be so advantageous at longer ranges and what makes people seek them out. You have the Commando, Stalker, and Shock Rifle in there as well to the sandbox so I personally don’t see the justification for such changes.
That’s what I don’t understand, in a long range trade, a shock rifle should out perform a BR. But the combination with netcode means that a shock rifle headshot isn’t enough, but a BR can shoot through walls owing to its burst fire.
That sounds more like a deeper, technical issue that needs to be fixed rather than balancing.
Based on my personal experiences, there’s been a good number of instances where I’d get destroyed by people who can get those one-shot headshots with the Shock Rifle whether I have a BR or not.

I think a better option is to add the DMR, but give it Halo 3’s bullet velocity for the DMR and minimize it’s bloom. That way, in a future wide-open BTB map, the DMR can replace the BR for that map so that it can breathe a bit.
