Idea for Shotty Snipes

I was thinking that it would be cool to add tiered shotty snipes into the playlists. Have tier 1, 2, 3, and mythic and rotate them in the way swat does. I think it would be rather cool, what do you guys think?

Only drawback would be Tier 3. The Arrow of Time is not any more powerful than the normal sniper, and the Blaze of Glory would be spammed nonstop.

Personally, I’d love Covenant and Promethean variants of the gamemode.

Covenant “shotty” would be the Gravity Hammer since the Energy Sword has that speed boost.

well its social so I wouldn’t be concerned about balance, that is a good point tho. Maybe just add mythic snipers into the playlist then?
How about shotty snipes fiesta? Covy snipes would be awesome tho not so excited about promethean shotty snipes tho.

It’d be Binary Slayer from Halo 4 really.
Make it exactly that; Binary, Sword, amped thrusters, give us maps with huge sightlines.

My idea is take out the shotty so I can practice my horrible skill at the game

Gravity hammer in shotty snipes? No thanks.

I would say add tier 2 and mythic shotty snipes, but I also would make the normal shotty snipes have a higher chance of being played.

Example:

Shotty Snipes Tier 1 (Normal): 50% Chance

Shotty Snipes Tier 2: 25% Chance

Mythic Shotty Snipes: 25% Chance

I rather see a version where the mode uses only one kind of weapon, like just the halo 2 beam rifle, or norn fang. Not 2+ variants of weapons. Im down for mixing it up, just not turning it into fiesta kinda play. Maybe have the weapons change at certain times? in any case it would make a fun action sack game mode.

i agree. this would be great

I disagree. The one time Mythic Shotty Snipers was a thing, I didn’t like it. Nornfang is all about who sees who first; there’s not really a chance to reverse the situation.
I like normal Shotty Snipes. I think an alien variant (Beam Rifles + Scattershots) would be an interesting thought exercise, but I wouldn’t introduce Binary Rifles or Swords/Hammers into the mix because they play too differently.
