The Covenant Carbine is just ever so slightly underpowered in comparison to the other precision weapons, with its 8sk. They need to put it back to being a 7sk like it was at E3, then it will actually compete fairly with all the other guns.
Who agrees?
Slightly underpowered? Even the BR can out perform it ;/
The ROF is fast but it’s too weak to justified it’s use. The DMR is the perfect example of fast fire rate with good damage. Not just fast ROF and weak damage per projectile. It needs a damage buff.
Seriously, i practiced with this gun. You are literally, putting you’re self at a disadvantage akin to using the Reach AR. I laugh at players thinking they can get a kill with it. I don’t really want to laugh though because i remember how deadly the Halo 2 Carbine was.
Agreed. But give it recoil so you can’t just spray it.

Hell no. Recoil is a terrible mechanic, it should be eliminated from the game completely, on the BR too.

What is the matter with recoil?

Because it’s only purpose is basically to nerf a weapon by making it annoying, frustrating, and un-fun to use…

In other words, you can’t manage recoil, so it’s unfun. Honestly, I like recoil in both cod and counterstrike, it just adds another element of gameplay and more to the skill curve

Spamming doesn’t need to be limited. If the Carbine was buffed to be as good as the other guns, then you add recoil, it isn’t as good as the other guns anymore, it is right back to where it was, being underpowered.
As for the BR having recoil, there is no reason why it should. It isn’t even as good as the DMR, even if you took away the recoil, so the recoil is just a pointless nerf that makes an inferior weapon even more inferior…

Giving the Carbine recoil would make it so the weapon cannot take out more-accurate weapons at range, cementing it into a close-range niche with other high fire rate weapons.
Look at the kill times. The carbine actually has the second fastest, right next to a scoped in LR. Making it a 7sk would make it OP

It is the second slowest. The DMR and scoped Light Rifle beat it.

Except that is only if you hit every shot. Nobody ever fires that many shots with a Carbine without missing a few. Since the Carbine takes the most skill to use, that skill should be rewarded with having the fastest kill time if you can actually manage to hit all the shots accurately at a moving target.
The other guns also need to be buffed a tad to compete with the OP DMR.

You positive? I was sure I read that the carbine was just fractions of a second faster than the DMR. And even if it is slower, it is only by fractions. Someone posted a while back the official kill times and the Carbine was pretty fast.
