I honestly feel like they are removing the fun factor out the game now…
I’ve noticed that nearly all precision weapons can you in half the time it takes for any other gun, and now the pistol can be used in ever scenario. Shotguns barely give you an edge, and rarely anybody pick up another automatic aside fro the smg… I feel that the battle rifle, dmr, and sniper needs recoil. Then revert back to halo 1 pistol. Nearly every weapon pick up is single shot and the SAW hasn’t even made an appearance as a pick up to further prove my point. Halo Reach had the best balance when it came down to the weapons and the maps.
Even team slayer feels weird because the maps are designed well but relatively small and constantly keep you in a fight. If you get shot while running, you can’t sprint, and your shield don’t charge while you run… Everything is set up around the rifles and pistol because the headshot damage makes it quicker than an automatic ever can.
I understand this on a competitive level, but it seem like you can rarely handle being out number anymore because everyone is essentially holding a precision gun that can be used in every scenario. I just don’t understand why the rifles have a close range advantage even in close quaters

Very true. If people love precision weapons then its good for them, have fun.
Only precision weapons matter really against a good team, using a medium-short range weapons is a death sentence. There’s no yin and yang in this game at a competitive level and this game will get old fast.
I also feel the game is this way because they listen to pro players too much while developing their game. They love their precison weapons. 343 has hurt their game desperately tryying for their game to be a good esports game. these pro players are buzzing because now this game is only about teamwork with precision weapons, and removes any individual skill. 4 people aiming at your head with a pistol, and you die in milliseconds. There no real need to pick a BR up when you can walk round with a OP pistol.
the SAW isnt in the normal pvp because its very strong, or at least thats my guess. in warzone its a very strong gun even at mid range.
but i totaly agree with you about precision weapons.
