The BR is so ridiculously OP 3 burst kill at all ranges and can destroy a tank in matter of seconds. The BR is the ultimate crutch weapon use it or be at a several disadvantage. Of cause people will say “just get good” or " everyone starts with it" and to which i say to them Walk of a very tall bridge because if everyone had that mentality might as-well make it a one–Yoink- kill since everyone starts with it. the fact is the gun is horribly unbalanced and by the time you realize your getting shot at your already dead cause the time to kill on it is so fast.
P.S please give me your salty tears 343 fanboys thinking its balanced,
PSS 343 sucks -Yoink-
Its a 4 shot, always has been in standard game types since it was a thing, but in this sandbox its actually really balanced. Missing a shot when dueling other precision weapons will get you killed, and if the entire burst doesnt hit its not a 4 shot.
Well I wont be crying since your facts are wrong. Its a 4 shot kill unless the entire burst does not hit your target, than its more.
Time to kill and the very minimal damage alert combine to make all the weapons feel very powerful , nine times out of ten if being shot from an odd angle , I don’t even realize I’m taking damage til the shields drop. Combine this with the next to useless 18m radar and things begin to feel very off (IMO).
And how does it make sense that after , what , 30 years of Spartan combat experience , some engineer decides “you know Spartans are to aware of their surroundings , we need to make the job harder”! or a Spartan “Hey Tech guy can you gimp my radar? I really need to be less aware of my surroundings”!
I think that the kill times on all weapons are too fast, and this causes things to feel unfair as you don’t have time to react like you used to in Halo. But the weapon balance is actually really good, almost perfect in fact. The only thing I would do, apart from increasing the kill times across the board, is reduce the range of both the AR and SMG a little.
BR sucks because the time to kill is way to fast, and whats the point of vehicles like the warthog and the mongoose which are completely worthless now, also many power weapons suck when the BR is a power weapon of its own and beats everything.
Also, the BR in warzone is req 3, whereas the dmr is req 7, which contributes greatly to BR dominance.
Overpowered? Not at all its TTK is 4. Overused? Maybe
I thought the br was weaker in this game maybe im still getting used to the new gameplay or maybe im just going crazy
