Infinity Slayer? or Infinity DMR... BALANCE!

Ok, so after 12 hours of straight playing, I’ve noticed some things…

  • Everyone uses the DMR (except for people who haven’t unlocked it yet)
  • There’s no incentive to use the BR or the Assault Rifle
  • Aim assist is a little too helpful
  • DMR is more accurate from the hip (again with the auto assist)
  • Ghost is severely underpowered
  • Holograms…holograms everywhere

So In saying this know that, I’m a long time FPS fan on both console and PC. I’m not trying to rant in anyway to give myself an advantage over other players. I just want to see a balanced game over all, because it seriously feels off balance right now.

Suggested Tweaks.
Assault Rifle:

  • Decrease spread at distance .
  • Increase distance damage.

DMR:

  • Decrease damage period.
  • Increase starting ammo by one mag.

BR:

  • BR increase accuracy

Sniper:

  • Decrease Lag between trigger pull and shot.

Plasma Grenade:

  • Increase damage distance

Shield recharge:

  • Decrease time taken to start recharge
  • increase time to total recharge, but not so much that it equals time taken currently.

Annoying things rants:

-Sprint: Trying to run while getting shot at is like dragging a boulder with your foot. It takes the point out of sprinting to get away.

-Scoreboard: Movement is stopped while viewing the score board. Kinda annoying…

  • Better system for package drops. I don’t need Plasma grenades if I already have them. That’s now a wasted option.

Ideas:

Radar:
Invisible to radar when shield is gone as long as handicap is not enabled. Assist in getting away.

Spawn on Team mates.

Speed boost lasts for a time period, instead of a life period.
Just because you’re faster, doesn’t make you less vulnerable to rockets or grenades.

All I can think of at the moment. Constructive criticism ONLY. None of this “Oh I like it the way it is because it helps me win”… the game is unbalanced clearly if everyone is only using the DMR. This happened back in halo 2 with the BR, and they changed the starting weapon from the BR to the SMG to get people to use more weapons. Something has to be nerfed in order for the same change in this game.
