I’m really enjoying the BR. Best it has felt since halo 2 (just had to up that zoom sensitivity some). And I think the commando is my new favorite gun. It’s like a hybrid of the AR and DMR.
On the downside, I don’t think I’ve ever sucked so bad with a sniper. I’ve never been great, but I’m just embarrassing myself.
I totally agree on the sniper. Seems really hard to use, but at the same time I feel like it should be challenging. I have not had the same experience with the Commando. Either half my bullets go right through the bots or I just miss entirely. I swear I’m hitting some headshots that the game doesn’t pick up but maybe I just don’t understand its spread yet.

Well to be fair, sniping is suppose to take more skill. If you have been playing Halo 5 (then you got spoiled by heavy aim assist and magnetism). If you been sniping on like Halo 3, you will have a much easier time to adjust.
The BR feels fantastic… idka bout that commando though. Kinda fast TTK if you actually lands your shots. This is supposed to be a every day pick up? Make it a power weapon lol, or nerf it a bit.
What annoys me is that blue and red outline… We really need a red vs blue toggle like other installments…

Yeah the point I was trying to make is that I can’t land my shots lol
I think we need a real PvP flight before I start suggesting any changes to the weapon stats. What do you think?
The BR feels different than I’m used to, but the Commando is so nice. I love it so much. I’ve personally been doing better with this sniper, I also really dig the sound for it.
Commando is amazing, no doubt. Sound design is fantastic, really gives it the kick feeling when shot!

I’m afraid you might be right on them nerfing the commando. It might be too good, especially at close range. It’s almost like a SAW with a DMR scope.

I agree, great sound design on pretty much all of the guns.
Am I the only one who is terrible with the Commando? I can’t hit a shot to save my life it feels like with it but i’m doing just fine with the BR.
It takes me months of playing before I learn the names of and to recognize the various bullet weapons.
They all seem too similar at first. I have no idea if I’ve used a BR yet or not. I’m usually in such a panic mode from the game action that I never see anything on the head up display. It’s just me, I’ve been like this since Marathon. You could identify me as a player by sound alone - my controller action is all hard sticks and lots of clacking. Smooth I am not.
So far I’ve tried the SPNKR, Needler, Ravager and Heatwave in Academy. SPNKR seemed good - rockets are always my fave. Needler familiar, Ravager a bit weird to aim but okay. Heatwave interesting - need more practice. In combat I’m not sure what I was shooting, but the pistol was nice. If I had the BR I missed it.
The Commando definitely is one of my favourites. I’ll for sure be tearing through games with it. 
I really can’t get behind the commando. If feels really inconsistent imo. Could probably benefit from less/no recoil. I feel like the AR is better than it in most scenarios.
Battle rifle on the other hand feels great. A bit more spread than the last few games but that’s a plus imo. It might be the best BR yet.
I feel like using the smart scope on the commando is a freaking trap, Can’t hit anything while zoomed in with it, but damn it is fun when you just fire away.
