underpowered. does anyone else feel this way?
It felt a little weak in the campaign too. Huge strafe spread and not as powerful shots as the unsc counterparts.
Thoughts?
Agreed.
Right now it’s all about the BR/Carbine/DMR for matchmaking with PP or Boltshot.
All the new weapons are underpowered, at least to me.
lol Carbine.
I have some success with the LR but i don’t use it on the smaller maps and use it on BTB maps.It’s also the only utility rifle that isn’t hit scan either but that can be argued that it has a skill factor because of that. Leading your shots makes you an instant pro 
I’ll have to spend more time with though. It is an interesting gun to say the least. I would even go as far to say it has more potential than the Carbine does.
Scoped LR has the fastest kill time of the semi-automatics
Burst LR has the slowest kill time of the semi-automatics
Thus it is very balanced.

Yeah I did notice the scope was pretty powerful.
But then it only fills a small niche for very far combat; with not many people using it effectively at short to mid range as in its description.
funny. i feel the complete opposite of that. i got the imprint skin LR with my new halo Xbox. my K/D ratio have rocketed since i started using it
I only find it useful in killing the crawlers in their eyes or whatever it is.
It’s as powerful as a DMR when scoped. However, the DMR is hitscan (instant damage, no leading shots), and the Lightrifle is projectile (damage delay, leading shots). So that’s a major disadvantage.
And when unscoped, it’s a burst-fire pea shooter.
It needs to shoot faster, and the DMR needs to shoot slower. And the Carbine maybe needs a small damage buff. Then we’ll have some balance between these four guns.
