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

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

Anything else to back up that the ttk is closer COD than any other past Halos?

4 to 6 shots? dude you’re not talking about a DMR, you’re talking about a fully automatic weapon that shoots 10 bullets in under a second. If your claim was correct the it means the kill times for Halo 5 would be , on average, under a second. Which is obviously nonsense.
I’ve shared a video with you where it took nearly a clip of direct shots to kill someone, and yet you continue with your BS claims. This conversation isn’t going anywhere.
Um, if the other players have any clue what they’re doing, you should pretty much be hosed if you get into a 1v2…

I was exaggerating, because that’s basically how it feel by the things power and fire rate
