Crappy Weapon Balance

So I decided to try out other weapons besides the BR the last time I played as started weapons to see how effective they are.

Comments:

DMR is for noobs. Seriously, it is extremely easy to use. Maybe I’m just use to precision weapons. Sometimes I get a headshot without aiming at the head. I also get headshots when the opponent is behind a wall. I noticed that the kill time is faster than the BR, for me anyways, and it’s very effective everywhere. I don’t know what 343 was thinking here. I swear the bullet is the size of a small missile because it pretty much takes up all the circle in its reticule. I have been using the DMR more, but I want to win more than anything else, so DMR it is.

Light Rifle feels pretty balanced. From a distance, I can get the 4 shot pretty easily, but at close range I have to rethink my tactics, or change my weapon. I have dexterity, so this is pretty convenient. I don’t really like the feel of it, there’s just something about it that just is meh.

The Carbine is pretty smexy but it takes a lot of shots to kill. This becomes annoying when someone is charging at you with an AR or some other automatic weapon. I really like the feel of this weapon but it seems underpowered.

The BR is a classic weapon and the only thing I don’t like about it is the new sound. It’s pretty balanced.

The magnum is useful in tight places. It is actually a good sidearm now.

All the automatic weapons are meh. Not an advocate of spray and pray, when an opponents shield’s are down, I expect to kill them in less than a third of a second afterwards with a headshot.

Dmr is fine stop this overpowered nonsense, im tired of people gettin games changed. Whats this about spray and pray, with my ar im sprayin but im not praying i use it the way its meant to be get close enough to where u can shoot and not miss. Within that range my ar is just as accurate as ur dmr and shred them apart.

The DMR is not fine at all

Magnum needs a few more rounds in the clip, no doubt.

BR sounds like complete -Yoink-, falls right in with with all the other ways they’ve changed Halo.

Grenades Area of Effect needs worked on.

I’d say it’s pretty hard to balance weapons when there are as many as in this game.
But, I think it’s one of the few things they did a pretty good job on. They do need to fix things no doubt. A lot of people complaining about boltshot with camo being OP. Binary Rifle reduced to 1 shot.

Weapons also disappear wayyyy to quickly.

Weapons shouldn’t appear with text and location. Just dumb and not needed in my opinion. Let players learn their locations and if they don’t, then that’s their loss.

Overall, pretty good game, have definitely played better.

What it really needs the most is previous playlists from Halos and a Ranked system. playlists NOT rotational. Also needs more maps BAD. Very bad. Need maps from previous Halos and maybe a few new ones… not nearly enough maps. And the ones they have, not that great.
