I love the storm rifle it has a great rate of fire and can shoot as far as the AR, if you know how to use it and it for me can practically outgun any other gun in close-medium range combat plus with the no reload and watching when you’re about to overheat is perfect. I love this weapon 
Happy new years! 
the only thing that matters is if it can beat the dmr
This gun shoots marshmallows like the Carbine compared to the DMR.
It’s good at taking out shields fast, but not killing (compared to other guns). +you usually can’t take on more than one enemy because of the overheating.
I liked it at first, my most used gun during the start of Halo 4 but both the AR and Suppressor do better than it.
I like the storm rifle.
I think its in the middle of the AR and the Suppressor.
The thing is that other people just don’t realize it yet and I’m forced to pickup spare weapons on the battlefield because my storm rifle almost always runs out of ammo.
I’ve used it a few times, but prefer the AR though. Haven’t experienced much with the Supressor.
I was hoping the storm rifle would have something going for it, like being able to take out a lot of people before overheating to make up for the fact that you’re going to be shooting it a lot to kill people. As it stands it feels like the weapon nobody would ever want to use out of usefulness. Reminds me of the plasma repeater in Reach, except I was a fanboy of that thing and the plasma rifle in H3, and have no love for the storm rifle here.
I got a perfection with a storm rifle one time.
Good for taking down shields cqb i guess, but overheats to quick to go in for the kill
also happy new years

It’s a plasma based weapon with a battery, you can’t scavenge ammo with it anyway. Use the Ammo Support Package and you start with 150% battery 
OT: Its bad. Really bad. You’re lucky to kill 1 single person with it before it overheats, they need to tone down the overheating to make it more viable. Right now its only good for Spray + Beatdown. If you could kill say 1.5 people (kill 1 full shields person and strip the shield off another player) before it overheated, combined with not needing to reload, it would be pretty decent. Also did anyone else know that Dexterity lowers the overheat timer?
^ Anyone who starts an attack with the SR is a lunatic.
The trick is to drop the shields with the DMR, watch them escape into cover, before bringing the SR out and going after them, peppering plasma into their fleeing back. They will drop immediately.
Even if they turn to face and engage you (with their DMR/BR) they are too weak to survive the rapid plasma spray into their chest.
This is what I do. It’s why I carry two primarys. Most players simply do not expect an enemy to quickly switch to a rapid fire weapon for purposes of finishing them off.
The Storm Rifle (along with the AR and Saw) is a rare example of a perfectly balanced weapon in Halo 4, and it should stay exactly how it is.

When I use the storm rifle I can usually get 4 kills in a row without dieing you just gotta learn how to use bursts with it and you’re ready to go, PLUS I always kill people with DMR’s from mid-range through close with the SR.
4 kills in a row? sounds unlikely (overheating)…
It’s the best AR out of all three. I love it!
If you can manage the overheat, you can kill multiple people, so more skill is involved with it than the other two loadout automatics… It destroys shields quickly, so a bleedthrough melee is easy. And even if you don’t do that, it still tears up flesh.
Its killtimes are super quick. It’s just like Frankie said, remind him of the Brute Plasma Rifle, and it is very similar to that in kill times, it seems.
It can’t be used for burst fires at mid range like the AR, but other than that, the Storm Rifle is 10x better than the AR.
The Storm Rifle seriously gets no attention, it seems. Either because everyone thinks its the Plasma Rifle, Plasma Repeater, AR familiarity is nicer, or they can’t use it to it’s full potential.
I use Firepower, so I have a LightRifle as primary, and Storm Rifle as secondary. It’s perfect. I can do amazing at mid-long range with the Light Rifle, and destroy people (multiple, if needed) up like there’s no tomorrow at close range with the Storm Rifle.
Now if only it got a skin. Preferably just making it red, but any skin would do.
I think a lot of people would agree the AR is the best…AR of the three.
SR is only good to take out shields.
I’m sorry but, AR is better. DMR outclasses them both.
The storm rifle has too many disadvantages compared to the other weapons.
-
Overheats way too much
-
Low ammo
-
Low accuracy
You don’t know how to use it do you?
That gun is awesome!

I mean, don’t get me wrong. The storm rifle is a cool gun. It looks cool and everything but it simply can’t stand up to the other, better guns. I’ve tried it before and it didn’t go well.
As long as I shoot first I can take out the Supp AND the AR with the Storm. It never occurred to me to use it WITH the DMR to pop shields and spray down… My halo eyes have been opened and now I think getting weapon master will be a bit easier. Thank the heavens.
And whoever said that.
You have to use burst shots and have dexterity I could make a vid of me doing it, it’s really easy
