I am horrified.

Halo isnt Halo anymore, 343 realizes theyve alienated too much of the OG fan-base. So now they’re pandering to the fortnite kids and it really shows… theyve been so focused on creating a multiplayer experience that theyve completely missed the mark on what makes Halo… well, Halo.

The AR is the only weapon that matters now, the sandbox is littered full of useless weapons that have no real defenses, weaknesses, or any real offensive capabilites.

Spray and pray is the name of the game now, I stopped going after power weapons, BR’s, and the DMR wannabe and started using solely AR. My avg kills per game are now in the 20’s and I dont even feel good about winning.

This game does not make me feel like a spartan, I feel like I’m playing CoD Advanced Warfare with a spartan costume on.

It really feels as though no one at 343 on the infinite dev team plays halo on their spare time with this, doesnt even feel like theyve ever played a single game of halo 3.

Halo: Paint by Numbers(Special CoD Edition). What I’m really trying to say is this feels like a joke, a massive prank. there is no way 343i can seriously think that this game is worthy of a AAA release? As a 20 year long fan of the series I am more worried about the campaign than anything tbh but whatever, 343i gets to slap a Halo logo on this litteral heap of garbage and call it a day regardless of whether theyve ruined what is arguably the greatest series of all time.

I see more people using the Pistol more than anything, as it has a quick fire, reload, and time-to-kill. The AR has always been a terrible weapon in past games up till Halo 5, thats why halo 3 had BR starts, because the br was good and the ar wasnt. So having the AR as a stronger weapon doesn’t seem so bad to me. As for the reason the br and commando, the reason they dont feel as good is because aiming in this game feels much more different than past games, which everyone has taken much more notice of in this flight. I do agree that the AR is strong at times, but since the maps are mostly close to medium range, I feel that it fits pretty well as it is. With Behemoth being a larger map compared to the other 3, the AR loses its touch, leaving us to scavenge for other weapons or vehicles, or even resorting to the pistol. Dont really know what you mean when you say that you feel like you’re playing COD AW.
