Multiplayer is quite frustrating for me.

Yes, another one of these threads. But the people making these threads have every right to complain, there are plenty of reasons to. But these are just my thoughts of some problems so far.

But anyway, as I said in the title, multiplayer is almost unplayable for me.

Before you choose the fanboy response and say, “If you don’t like it don’t play it” let it be said that I want to play and enjoy multiplayer, but these problems are making that quite difficult.

Now, the DMR is just blatantly overpowered. There’s no debating it. It’s as simple as that. It seems to ruin the balance this game was intended to have. I want to use other guns but i’m constantly getting killed by the DMR that should only be useful at long range as it was intended. Yet, it’s still shreads at all ranges. Not to mention it can kill vehicles, and also has such a quick kill time that it’s almost impossible to react. It renders almost all the other primary weapons useless.

The fix is simple. Reduce the rate of fire at a point where it will serve it’s purpose of winning at long range instead of every single range.

Now, with the BR. Believe it or not, and this is just a thought, it may need a VERY SMALL nerf. This is just a possibility, but think about it. If the DMR gets nerfed and the BR wins at the ranges it should, what about the other neglected weapons? The only weapons that seem to be ever use is the BR and DMR and both of those dominate the other primary weapons, including the Automatic ones at point blank. The BR should ONLY be nerfed it ends up destroying all the other weapons at the ranges it shouldn’t after the DMR gets nerfed (If it even does) seeing how fast the BR kill time is. Like I said, just a thought.

As for the SAW, I like the weapon, but it seems to show up WAY too much. In every match almost everyone has a SAW. That may just be me though. A quick solution to that is just making it appear less in PODs.

Now comes Dominion. I love Dominion to no end, but I seem to be getting alot of framerate issues during matches of Dominion. Anyone else have this problem?

Grenades are quite annoying. I mean, they aren’t overpowered, but people just keep spamming them. I’m thinking people should only spawn with one but that’s only me.

The Spawning system seems to be quite messed up. I constantly spawn next to enemies already shooting at me and i’m getting quite sick of that.

Flood Mode is fun…aside from the thruster pack ruining it completely. The flood shoot past you at light speed and can kill while using the Thruster Pack. It’s just idiotic really. The whole reason people didn’t like living dead originally in reach was because of evade and Thruster Pack in flood is basically an over-buffed evade. Just remove the Thruster Pack and give the Flood the ability to sprint.

That’s all I can think of at the moment, after this un-organized post. I just wanted to list the things that have been driving me insane. I want this game to be good. I want to enjoy it but some of these problems are ruining it for me. I’m not trying to sound rude or anything but these issues need to be fixed. I didn’t want to add to the complaint threads but I did.

All I want is multiplayer to be enjoyable, but that’s difficult for me in the state it’s in. Just my thoughts.

Anyone else?

I think the BR and DMR should get a damage buff when zoomed in (And obviously reduced damage when not). THat should help them perform in their desired ranges.

Thruster pack in normal multiplayer is unbelievably rubbish.

Why don’t you thrust the distants you do in campaign?.

You boost about 3 feet. Please fix this or just remove it.

All weapons can kill vehicles, not just the DMR, I happen to use the BR to kill Vehicles more often than the DMR. It just seems to me that you must not be very good at the game yet, or just dont understand how the weapons themselves work.

Each weapon is very balanced, and the DMR becomes more difficult to aim efficiently when in closer ranges, it is much more effective at long range. The BR is the more efficient weapon, but it lacks the power of the DMR at the longest ranges. While the Light Rifle is capable of dominating both at long range, especially zoomed in.

Just take more time to get a feel for each weapon, they are not OP as you state, they are simply deadly in the right hands of a skilled player. If they were weaker people would complain about how the kill times are as slow as Reach’s seem to always be.

I actually meant to say the DMR is MUCH more powerful against vehicles.

Anyway, it does not get harder to aim with the DMR up close at all. It dominates all guns at all ranges. When I use it against people, and when they use it against me. The DMR is no doubt OP and needs a fire rate nerf to serve it’s purpose of a long range weapon instead of all ranges. That’s just what i’ve observed at least.
