Extremely OP
Just look at ar/br starts… The ar is nonexistent and using it is like setting yourself up for a 0.5 kd
The br is just too good at any range
unless you are hitting all headshots with the ar you are going to lose
What SHOULD to happen
The BR needs a rate of fire reduction
It is too forgiving, missing means almost nothing because you are already shooting again
it makes the kill times with the br too fast
promotes spraying
overpowers other weapons
relies on luck concerning hit detection
etc
Positives to lowering the rate of fire for BR
Promotes accuracy
Raises skill required to use
Decreases effectiveness a close range vs ars and smgs
Decreases kill time
Lowers effectiveness of teamshotting
Increases gp between higer and lowered sklled players
Increases use of other weapons
Increases map movement
Decreases prevalence of hit detection and bullet magnetism
Negatives of lowering BR rate offire
Makes Ars and Smgs more powerful at close range (Not necessarily bad, but their headshot bonus could use lowering)
Easier to escape
DMR (Carbine we don’t know yet) might need adjusting as well so that they are still balanced with the BR
I believe this is a good solution to be considered

Nope. The AR needs slightly more spread and the SMG needs a slightly higher kill time.
Grenades are completely broken.
Sprint still exists instead of being dead in a corner.
There are too many medals.
Your rank is extremely dependent on your first ten games, which leads to way too much consistency.
Shields in general go down too quickly.
Lighting problems give blue team the advantage on darker maps like Eden or the interior of Empire.
Random server disconnects happen in the lobby and cause some weird flashing of the screen.
Please tell me how any of these are related to the BR in any way. I’d say the BR and the LR are two of the hardest weapons to use.

I would actually prefer a reticlue that had a center over the large but open center one

then the AR needs to have head shots removed. I just played some guy who went 3-15 and i think I was two of his kills because while he sprayed an AR long range at me unshielded he got a lucky random headshot and insta-killed me. They both need tweaks.

I mentioned that in the original post
I think the headshot bonus should stay but it needs a reduction though so tis not a 8 shot kill like it is now

then I’m fine as long as those two stay balanced. The DMR seems comfortably mid-long range now so that’s good. I still wish we could’ve seen at least one BTB map.
I just typed a huge article on why the BRs are broken (not because of RoF but because engagements are much further in Halo 5). However when i clicked to submit the thread, my internet cut out ):

It sucks when you know that is because of stretched out maps… which are because of sprint…
And i dont have anything against sprint by itself as much as i hate the consequences to the mechanics of Halo that sprint brings.

AR having more spread would make it too similar to the SMG, and the SMG having a slower kill time would make it, well, too similar to the AR. You have horrible suggestions and I don’t think you even use those two weapons.
