This sums up most of my issues with the game. It has such a good foundation, but I still don’t find it fun because of this. This is the only Halo where the person who shoots first wins almost every time and that is compounded by the crappy radar. Every previous Halo has a much more significant emphasis on precision weapons. CE Magnum, BR, BR, DMR, BR, and BR. I don’t know why all of a sudden in Infinite we should want to run around with the AR.

something…something…sounds like the same shock people had with the halo 5 AR. There is no straight up SMG anymore so the AR being the rapid fire blat machine makes sense this time around.

It’s designed to be a better option at close range. I very much enjoy using it in regular slayer. Just because you have better accuracy does not mean that you should always win every encounter with the BR. Selecting the right weapon or positioning yourself should be part of winning as well.

Nah, the AR is fine just the way it is, thank you very much.

AR Vs BR. The BR is better but you get more punished for missing your shots. It has a higher TTK than the AR. Sane thing with the AR and AR Sidekick combo. The 2 are faster than just the AR but you’ll be punished if you miss your shots. The AR is just like an ol’ reliable gun. Not much punishment but plenty of other options which out do you. I only think a range nerf is needed as you can descope enemies by just firing in their general direction. It also takes nearly a full mag in most encounters with the AR so what, you want 2 mags a kill?

People are vastly exaggerating the AR’s capabilities. I’m just glad the BR isn’t the only decent weapon around anymore.

I completely agree, the ar needs a big nerf

It doesn’t get more boring than BR dominating Halo

No, don’t nerf the AR. Buff the crappy weapons.

I do wish there was a pistol only playlist or the inevitable Slayer BR playlist. I’d rather be able to run around and fight other pistol wielders close range. It would be better if melee fights didnt end in trades 90% of the time because then there would be more skill involved in close range AR beatdown fights akin to H3
AR isnt brainless,

I like the AR, but I think it could use an ever so slight increase to the bullet spread to bring the effective range in a bit, maybe only like 5%.

Finally… more people are waking up since I made my original post about the AR.
Maybe people aren’t utterly stupid after all.

Personnellement je ne suis pas d’accord je joue a halo depuis le premier et oui j’ai toujours jouer au fusil de combat car le fusil d’assaut ne valait rien en multijoueur je trouver cette arme inutile et la et bien j’alterne enfin entre les deux car pour une fois il a enfin son efficacité dans le multijoueur et il était temps je trouve . de plus je rajouterais que toutes les armes sont bien equilibraient mais il faut un petit temps d’adaptation car elle sont chacune leur subtilités . sans oublier qu’il sont enfin revenu sur du tire de précision et ça fait plaisir car halo 5 était vraiment une daube a ce niveau n’importe quelle noob arriver a caler des tirs a la tête sans même la viser c’était une honte a halo pour ma pars .

Personally I do not agree I have been playing halo since the first one and yes I have always played combat rifle because the assault rifle was worthless in multiplayer I find this weapon useless and there, well I finally alternate between the two because for once it finally has its effectiveness in the multiplayer and it was about time I think. moreover I would add that all the weapons are well balanced but it takes a little time to adapt because they are each their subtleties. without forgetting that they are finally back on precision shooting and it’s nice because halo 5 was really a crap at this level any noob manage to stall headshots without even aiming it was a shame to halo for my part.

This is the only argument that i believe has any weight with this topic. But instead of asking for a nerf of the AR, why dont people ask for a buff to all the other weapons so the AR is eclipsed by everything else? The commando and pulse rifle are nearly useless, with the latter being completely useless, and the ravager is so niche that using it outside of its zoning capabilities is a fine way to ensure your own death. I’m fine with the notion of the BR being better than the AR and all, but im not fine with a demand that the BR be the best weapon in the game full stop. I want a complete sandbox here. Not a list of weapons that arent worth picking up or using.

Amen. People think if you’re complaining you must be doing poorly, Its the opposite. I shred them but there’s a severe imbalance when I incorporate movement and a perfect with the pistol and am still left at a spec of health to someone who sprayed and prayed. That isn’t Halo, never has been. It’s a big brain game of counting shots, making plays based on this and incorporating movement and map knowledge. Nerf it please. I enjoy ranked and BR is solid, but the pistol is so much fun. Sadly so few use it in TS.

Basically take the effective range of the weapon and don’t allow it to exceed the radar effective range. It should not be doing significant damage outside of the radar range

Sidekick is also a lottery machine in use. 7sk, 12 in mag, and rapid fire = gamble. Pace = death. If you face an AR it’s even more of a gamble. It’s a joke. While I want to use it, the thing needs a buff in accuracy by getting rid of the amount of bloom it has. Vietnam flashbacks of reach magnum.
the current AR+sidekick is horrendous.

Disagree, while I do agree that the AR needs a slight nerf calling it busted is a bit melodramatic. I never see people just holding down the trigger and just letting aim assist do the work? Because the bloom gets atrocious not to mention despite this AR being so potent I will always trade it for a plethora of other weapons like the BR, Commando, Mangler etc. I reckon if they decreased its fire rate slightly and added descope it would fix alot of problems but like I’ve already said I personally dont think it’s busted nor that it is ruining slayer.
