I really think that the magnum in halo 5 is way to op, and I see in more games that everyone just uses the magnum rather than the assault rifle. The assault rifle just doesn’t deal enough damage and I feel that it should be buffed, and the magnum should be nerfed a bit.
the assault rifle is actually quite good, just not at long range. Most of the time it will outplay the magnum close up, because it allows your strafing to be a bit more erratic without significantly decreasing your accuracy - and making it much harder for the enemy to shoot you. I’d say they’re both balanced, its just that the magnum is longer range so most people use that over the AR.

I completely agree, and it really dampens (for lack of a better word) the multiplayer of Halo 5. It is just a pistol fest in every mode/playlist (except fiesta, obviously, but that mode is hardly any better) and the assault rifle may as well not exist. Aside from myself, I almost never see anyone using the assault rifle except for some very new players (of which there are not many), and there are a number of other weapons that go mostly unused, because who needs to go looking for weapons when you spawn with a sidearm that can easily kill people quickly and across the map?
