Stalker rifle is a 3 shot TTK tho…it’s basically a power weapon. That’s like saying we don’t need a bulldog because we have a mangler…
No its not. Its good but if this is your standard then the Mangler is also a 3sk so its also a power weapon.
You don’t. Lots of people sort of ignore Bulldog off spawn on Bazaar for example, because Mangler is so strong. Bulldog is slightly superior, but Mangler takes its job lol.
Actually no I think this was it, they didn’t even have a complete build. Right now they are still possibly trying to get a Co Op mode to work with this one.
The fact that it didn’t have replayabke missions, something even Ghost recon Breakpoint had day one, and Co Op another thing A game like Ghost recon Breakpoint had day 1.
Leads me to believe this was an incomplete build just kinda for shoe or display. And now they are trying to figure out how to update a basic Beta Build.
God help us if they sell DLC for the campaign. That I honestly see them charging us closer to 40 bucks for.

No it’s not a 3sk or no it’s not basically a power weapon? Because yes and ok maybe it’s not a power weapon. But to say we don’t need the carbine? That’s stupid. The carbine would IMMEDIATELY get used WAY more than the commando. As a matter of fact, they could probably replace the commando with the carbine and the community would probably be absolutely ok with this.
The stalker rifle is almost NOTHING like the carbine. Stalker rifle is a miserable -Yoink!- child of the carbine and beam rifle. I understand new guns for new game but at the same time it just doesn’t feel good in play.

It is a 3sk, assuming you land all the shots that is. I know, mind blowing.
UNSC weapons are typically (though not always) more preferred than Covenant/Banished/whatever weapons.
Why? for what? What would this achieve? You can prefer the Carbine to the Commando, but why is replacing one weapon with another a good idea?
Its a hard to use weapon in a sandbox with easy to use weapons being dominant. Watch a high level player use it lol. It shreds if used perfectly.
Ok man if you’re going to be a passive aggressive A-Hole, we’re done here. You didn’t really specify what part you were referring to. You honestly have bad hot takes anyway and respond with " I’m just a Bluejay lol "
We’re done here.
Also you proceed to tell me it’s not a power weapon but then go on to say it basically is in a high level players hands. Get F’D troll.

Slower-fire rate than the Carbine. As a result, it works less well in Close Quarters.
Carbine is useful at ranged combat and at close range combat.
Basically a better alternative to the Commando Rifle.

Well, makes sense.
The mangler is not a real power weapon no, but my point is it does definitely reduce the usefulness or value of the Bulldog. Mangler is so exceptional at CQC that real power weapons are neutered lol.
Carbine is not really needed in the current sandbox. I’m not a carbine hater lol, I"m just saying that I imagine 343i would rather add stuff that is more unique.
They said they would be transparent. And they haven’t. They promised a large January newsdrop so we can know where the team is at. and its the 26th. We haven’t had that news drop.
I had hope in 343. I don’t even think they are being nefarious or purposely evil (except maybe their store team). But the leadership is dropping the ball and it makes everyone else look incompetent.
They need a roadmap for the whole year. Both for us and to keep themselves accountable. We know Co-op and Season 2 is in May, but we don’t know what else comes with that, and between. We need a roadmap of every month showing what we will see. Even if its just “February- Event TBA” Or “March- Stability update”
We need something and it needs to go up on Halo Waypoint news. Not here in the forums, or on twitter, or Reddit, or some steam 70% of us will miss. We need it On the webpage made for Halo news!!! Why else did they make this brand new UI, site functions, and a dedicated app?! Everything on the Waypoint app just opens my broswer! So why should I let it take up my phone space?
Rant over.
Also my obligatory Zeta Sky comment. I don’t care if I get known as “that guy who won’t shut up about Zeta Sky” not enough people are talking about being screwed out of their pre-order bonuses.

What 343 has added to their games are sub-par weapons.
The Rail Gun? It is just the Spartan Laser but weaker.
The Sticky Detonator? Grenade Launcher but with a new gimmick.
Storm Rifle? A downgrade to both the Plasma Rifle and Plasma Repeater.
All of the Promethean Weapons? All of them were reworked from Halo 4 to Halo 5 since most of them were trash.
Skewer? Here is a slow-firing heavy-sniper.
Stalker Rifle? Weaker rendition of The Beam Rifle.
Bulldog? A good mid-tier shotgun, but not a replacement for the M90.
Commando Rifle? Outclassed by both the AR, the BR, and the Sidekick. FUN FACT, there is a rare achievement to get a perfect kill with the CR. Only less than 1% of players have unlocked it when I got the achievement and no-one picks it up in PvP unless there is a challenge tied to it.
The previous weapons rosters were all top notch with only minor tweaking needed between games (mainly the Magnum stats and Needler Dual-Wielding removal.)
Yeah man it’s horrendous, along with the desync makes Ranked insufferable. I had a little break from Infinite and played some other FPS games, splitgate, COD etc, Came back to Infinite, and the desync is so shockingly obvious after playing games that don’t have this problem. I already made a post about how bad the desync is, it makes this game unplayable. Matches where you go 30-5 only for the next match you go 0-15 because you can’t literally can’t kill people. People need to realise most players aren’t “bad” when they have a bad game but are literally unable to do anything in that match.
