> WTF Dude if they increase the shields then the game would be weird. That would eliminate the 4 shot BR which would suck. Maybe you are just dyibng and trying to find an excuse for your bad play
No!!! I love the 4 shot BR it’s the one thing that doesn’t make me scream. Every other weapon does in some way. The TTK IS WAY to little for all other weapons.
the shields aren’t the problem…the weapons are. Both the BR and DMR have way too fast of fire rates and the AR has way too good of damage. Shields are fine just weapon’s kill times are way too quick. so in a sense i agree with you. You can die way to fast in this game
I swear the AR kills me in 3 bullets and my AR takes an entire clip to kill lol.
It’s not necessarily that shields aren’t powerful enough it’s that all guns fire so goddxmn quick.
This coupled with the sluggish movement speed makes for stupid kill times and strafing outside of the thrusters nigh impossible.
Instead of nerfing the AR how about no one starts with an AR. Instead everyone has BRs or DMRs. That would make the AR a kind of power weapon. I would like to see this mode for a couple of days and see if it fixes the quick kills.

How about we start with dmrs? Nobody likes DMRs anymore!

I should be able to a decent chance on a 2v1.
> but you don’t stand a chance. Don’t tell me I’m bad either. I have a 7.1 kda and a 1.68 KD. This needs to be changed, it honestly feels more like COD than Halo. By a margin.
-Have to play devils advocate here-
but what about sprint and thruster packs offering a get out of jail free card? Shouldn’t you master those like some and become the unkillable like so many apparently are?

I feel like since its halo, I shouldn’t have to.

I’m pretty sure the BR beats the AR everytime. Unless you’re shooting the toes. AR has some range but I wouldn’t consider it a power weapon. I would never pick it up if they handed me a BR.
I actually like the BR as a pick up. That said, I can’t wait for Team BRs

Meh, the AR, and the SMG definitely need some nerfing so that confrontations are longer. Also, the fire rate on the BR could be dumbed down slightly. And BAM, you have a beautiful HALO* game
This. I am so tired of pretty much being insta killed when I run into 2 people. It’s almost pointless to try and shoot either one of them.

This is EXACTLY howI feel
Weapons have relatively the same damage rates as older Halo’s, what has changed is the no health regen after you sprint, making you vulnerable for longer periods of time.

I wouldn’t be opposed to a slight increase, but to me skirmish times & TTK feel about the same as previous Halo games. The movement speed brings this illusion that EVERYTHING is faster, but it really isn’t. You get annihilated in ANY Halo when you get dual shot with ARs.

If by “balanced” you mean “the only viable gun in the game” then yes, it was. It’s about time other guns could properly compete.

Insta killed? you’re either lying or you’re playing a different beta than i am
xbox one dvr clip (watch last kill)
Nope, not instant at all. If it was instant i wouldn’t have had the need to thrust around him and melee.

That has NOTHING to do with it. Confrontations take at least 2 seconds longer than other Halo titles. That is a drastic diiference

Did I say confrontations with a single person, or two people. You die almost instantly with 2 enemies firing at you with AR/SMGs

Well duh, that is pretty obvious. That is how it is in any shooter, including old Halo’s.
If the OP is complaining about how much more intense firefights are in Halo 5 then it only subscribes the notion that somehow 343 made halo a lot more fast paced and action packed. And its a wonderful wonderful thing.
This game is NOTHING like CoD and I’m sick of people saying that it is! A BR is at best a 4 shot kill JUST LIKE IT WAS IN 2 AND 3

First of all, I am the OP, and 4-6 assult rifle shots take your shields off. It would be such a well paced Halo if those thruster pack-ing, intense one on one battles lasted a tad bit longer and let you come out with a little bit more health
