So, I’ve seen whats coming with the new update and I’m fairly pleased with some of it (we wont go into more forge maps and a remake of a poor map). But there is still the main problem of no BR starts, which is literally ruining the game, its practically unplayable. Another reason why it’s unplayable is because of how stupid they made the AR and other weapons like it. How is running around spraying and praying fun? Having BR duels is the way Halo should be played, as it actually requires skill to win then, unlike with the AR. They need to reduce the power of ARs.
I’m concerned about how long it’s going to take for these vital changes to be made, because if it’s not this month, then we’re talking at least a month and a half away right? Which, by then, everyone loyal Halo fan will have left, including myself (I now only play a couple of games a week anyway before I have to turn it off because its unplayable), and I dont blame them.
Just because they arent catering to you dosent mean its unplayable. AR is not that good magnum beats it nearly every time. BR starts are over powered and takes every bit of tactical play for the power weapons pointless as 4 BRs will take anyone down very quickly.

Thats 343’s fault for having stupidly big hit boxes. If they sorted that out (which surely they will?), then the BR will be spot on.
Yeah let’s give everybody a BR so they barely move around the map to use any other weapons. That’s what I love about Halo 5, all the weapons are decent. I was honestly really sick of how since Halo 2 the whole series has been nothing but BR, BR, BR…
If everyone starts with a BR, then what’s the point of the pistol? The BR, DMR, Sniper Rifle, and other marksmen type guns should be non-starting guns. Otherwise, this turns into Halo CE. If you’re good with the BR, then you should be just as capable with the pistol.
I do agree that the AR is “not quite right”. It’s not that it’s too powerful, it’s just got too much range. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been killed from a distance by AR spray after a good fight that has my shields down.

While I do agree that having BR starts is a must, it shouldn’t flat out replace AR starts.
As said previously, not catering to your specific needs doesn’t mean Halo 5 is unplayable. The AR is only good at close range, as it should be. BRs are used in mid to long range engagements. 343 finally made the AR a viable weapon, and now you want it to be useless again? Seriously sometimes this community makes no sense. If you’re using the BR close range against an AR than you’re doing it wrong.

BR starts, while I loved them for previous Halos, would be absolutely awful for Halo 5. The BR is an upgrade over your pistol, which you start with. The pistol/AR start vs. BR/DMR weapon placements are extremely well balanced. There are frequently respawning BRs/DMRs on every map that you can pick up within seconds of every spawn.
You get to play has those supper soldiers
But they go in with a pistol and ar for close to mid range yeah lol
That’s why they made warzone I think
Because of the whinny community they can’t touch arena
Witch is stupid because it would be fun to see major changes to switch it around a bit!
They are free to expand warzone to what ever they want because it their creation
But they are doing a amazing job at giving a little of everything to everyone! That’s crazy

I either see posts saying how AR’s are too weak in Warzone, or too OP in Arena… I wouldn’t mind having Slayer DMR’s or BR’s gamemode (Like there was in Reach), in rotation within the Team Slayer playlist.
For too long Halo has been dominated by a select small set of weapons. Now every weapon is viable, and the game is better for it.
I would love to see a playlist that had BR starts (other than big team), but overall i think Magnum/AR starts are perfect the majority of the time. If you think the AR is OP, then you just need to engage with another weapon from further away. Weapon selection actually matters now so you cant just pick up a BR and use it at all ranges like you used to be able to, and thats a good thing.
