Changes to Halo 5 Arena

Okay I’ll cut to the chase. Fix the Magnum, it is too good. It cross-maps players, and most of the time out shoots BRs and DMRs. It’s meant to be a reliable “SECONDARY” not a crutch gun that everyone, including myself, seems to primary all the time. Next restore the Radar back to how it was in previous Halo games. Another thing please bring map voting back Orion sucks and promotes camping! I believe players should only spawn with one frag grenade and not have the ability to pick up grenades off of fallen teammates or enemies, the grenade spam is real! Reduce the timer for Power Weapons because they spawn like 4 or 5 times per match! 2 is perfectly fine. Bullets shouldn’t stop you from running unless you get hit by a sniper round, splash damage from rocket and grenade effects, etc. Normal bullets shouldn’t stop a player from escape. Also restore the health system back to the way it was in previous Halo games. In Halo 5 whenever I get out of a gunfight I’m a sitting duck! I can’t even defend myself against the next opponent. Also fix those spawns. For example if I’m on Blue Team I should not be spawning in the Red Team Spawn. Anyway those are just some minor things this is an open discussion for whoever would like to add their input just keep it clean. Thank you!

Agreed. The magnum pisses me off more than any other weapon in the game. It’s easier to aim and use than the BR… The magnum is also easier to aim and has more aim assist than the BR. That’s why nobody ever picks up the rifles… Why would they? It would put themselves at a disadvantage.

Agreed about the pistol way to good. It’s def the first choice in arena due to the fire rate. Can we restore the BR back to it’s prominence in competitive play in halo please. Everyone is complaining about grenades I think they are where they need to be. But def agree about the power weapons and power ups I.e over shield and invis they need to be cycled back, spawning way to often. But despite all the whining going on I am enjoying the game, but can we please have some more game modes ahhh where’s big team battle/ CTF/ regicide maybe, come on 343 lets get more game modes now please!!

I love the magnum, but I will always get the DMR/BR instead if I can. I can understand the grenade spamming comments, but I feel it’s always been apart of my Halo MP experience. If you’re having issues running away, trying using the thruster more. Being vulnerable in a gunfight is a matter of strategy, not health mechanics.

People who use the br and dmr will always use the pistol tell they can get a br or dmr thats just hat there use to aiming at the head

BR and DMR both have quicker kill times already, if you nerf the Magnum then we’ll end up with games where spawning players cannot take down rifle users and get dominated by the first team to prioritise those weapons. Players need a reliable utility weapon and that’s the Magnum.

to the OP…adapt and overcome…or make a custom game and play by yourself
