Halo Infinite Guns - MK50 Sidekick, VK78 Commando

As a lifelong Halo fan, just thought I’d share my thoughts, concerns, and questions.

How are we feeling about the Sidekick so far? Do you like it, or prefer the Magnum from Halo 5(e.g). TTK might be around the same between the two, but it requires 3 extra headshots to get the “perfect kill.” I get why they made this change, especially with the name “Sidekick;” however, I can’t seem to get behind the idea.

Onto the lack of the DMR. Do we prefer the new Commando? I’m assuming that is meant to be the DMR’s replacement, but if the entire premise of Infinite is to go back to Halo’s “roots,” then I do not believe it is the way to go.

TLDR; Magnum>Sidekick, DMR>COMMANDO.

Would love to hear your opinion on this. Please leave a comment below. Maybe it’ll help sway my, and others’, opinions.

Thanks and happy flighting!

As a sandbox purist, it’s so the guns have more variety, with each having specific strengths and weaknesses. Covenant Carbine, DMR, Magnum, BR, whatever that Promethean BR is, etc. All overlap heavily, so 343i is cutting the sandbox down to the basics which I prefer. This way the sandbox is more unique, if we had a DMR, Magnum, and BR, they’d all feel very similar, this way the mid-range rifles feel different. Though, I dislike the design of the Sidekick and Commando, look more CoD than Halo
