Buffing The Other Primaries Is NOT The Answer

We already have fast kill-times, and the DMR is clearly the best Primary weapon for all situations.

Making them all that good will make the game an insta-death clusterf**k.
Instead of changing 5 guns to accommodate 1 blatantly OP one, essentially forcing a change to the entire sandbox for balance, it makes more sense to just bring the one back down to the others level.

It’s really not a hard concept to grasp. The people who want all the other weapons to get buffed are DMR sackriders who dont want their noob cannon to get the nerfbat.

Let me you guess. You thought Halo 2 and Halo CE’s killtimes were too fast, right?

No.

We have kill times at that speed now and making them faster is just going to make the game more like stock shooters that plague the console market.

I agree, making the game’s pace any faster would be a bad move. Halo has never been a shooter where the first person to shoot wins, and Halo 4’s pace is already bringing it dangerously close to being that way.

OP: You’re wrong.

Buffing other primaries is an answer. It’s just not the best answer.

Buffing the other primaries up has the potential to upset the weapon sandbox far more than nerfing the DMR. It also has unintended consequences of making Power Weapons less effective and drastically altering the gameplay so that it’s more SWAT based; More about reaction time rather than aiming or team play.
