It seems that as of late 343 is really trying to balance everything out in matchmaking. In some game types they have forced loadouts and weapons placed directly on the map like in older Halo’s. The thing that I want to know is, if they’re stressing balance in the game types why is the boltshot still a secondary option? I think it just be an on-map weapon like the needler. It’s vastly overpowered as a secondary weapon. Why should people be able to walk around with a mauler? Also, the AR has insane range in this game, tone it down.
AR is fine, DMR and Boltshot definitely need some tweaking. plasma grenades are ridiculously OP against vehicles and encourage lame panic sticking so they should either be taken out of loadouts or reduced to one per spawn in order to make it if you want that second one you need to sacrifice a perk. Vehicles need health buffs, matchmaking system needs an update as well.
put parties of 4 or larger against other parties of 4 or larger for pete’s sake! Also separate into ranked and social and make classic playlists to satisfy the hardcore and the old school Halo guys.
improve forge and custom game options and add spops and campaign support to theater.
if these things are implemented imo Halo 4 will be perfect.
