Hey guys since 343 won’t fix the way to weak AR and won’t fix the way over power magnum I propose that we all stop using the magnum. That will definitely help make slayer fun, fair, and diverse. Together we can make a difference and fix this issue
The pure power the AR has by burst firing it at longer range works pretty well, the pistol is needed at some point. But depends on the situation in the moment.

The way the AR has been made is more of a back up weapon Kinda like how the magnum is supposed to be. According to 343 when the radical is lit up red the weapon is its maximum effective range. The magnum will out do the AR most the time. If two pro players went against each other one with a AR and the other with a magnum in close range firefight I would bet my money that the pro with the magnum would win more.

I already stopped using the magnum quite some time ago, when I realised I didn’t like how overpowered it was. I am fully in support of this!
Halo 5 Magnum really isn’t overpowered, sure it may be good but it can still be beaten by people using Battle Rifles & the DMR, hell even a skilled player can use an AR can beat someone using the Magnum if they use their movement right, the only pistol to ever be considered overpowered is the CE Magnum

I disagree h5 magnum is usefull at every range and both dmr and br are not a “Big threat” for a skilled player with a magnum.
Br as a slower rof a strange recoil. The dmr as a slower rof But it’ s a 2shot-melee Kill weapon But the magnum as a faster rof.
At range br’ s recoil seems working against the player and the dmr is the only good choice against a magnum witch is a 5 shots Kill gun just like the dmr

The only way the magnum is overpowered and useful at all ranges is if you can actually use it effectively. I would argue that the magnum actually requires a decent amount of skill, especially compared to weapons in halo 4 (specifically H4 beam rifle). Although it is pretty powerful, the magnum is definitely not overpowered. In my opinion, weapons like the carbine and LR are on par with magnum. Also, if you ever play warzone or even BTB, the use for the battle rifle and DMR is more evident.

According to my research. The magnum is the number one used weapon. It’s literally every players “tool of destruction” and that’s a problem.

The magnum in Halo 5 is your best friend. It’s used for just about everything you need and when you get a perfect kill without it feels nice, AR is used for quick kills when you get a melee or Spartan charge. Or even when you run out of ammo in your magnum.

This is correct.
I love Halo 5 but I feel like the magnum is to oppressive, I feel like I’m actively punished if I try to pick up any other weapon in arena.
Halo 5 is left for dead at this point

Playing a lot of Infection? 
I’ve recently watched some YouTube vids from the H5 beta and the AR was disgusting, I’m so glad it was nerfed… It’d hate to see it go back to that, imagine everyone spraying the AR at each other?
I’d be OK with an AR/storm rifle playlist but a buffed AR would ruin everything else… There’s a reason why the pros fought to have it removed from HCS years ago.

That’s why 343 need to fix it. I’m sick of magnums. I’m sick of Percision weapons ruling the game
I love the magnum and usually discard my AR for a bolt shot or a DMR depending on the map. Tighter maps bolt shot big maps DMR. The BS is actually pretty OP for close encounters. The magnum in H4 was true trash.

That sucks then. What’s the difference when the magnum is now the new overused weapon?
I’ve recently started playing H5 and did 5 games of arena. I used what I had to get kills. I’m not a pro nor am I big into esport. I play for the story. The gear not the grind and to get whatever achievements I can. The AR is under powered. Most battles are fought at close to medium range, so who ever gets the drop first wins, usually. Armour is useless as there are no defensive stats. Don’t know if this post here is appropriate. Just an opinion.
The AR feels smooth right now with its headshot multiplier damage. I will admit it’s weird that the staple secondary gun is the best gun in the game but it’s been 5 years. You just just have learn to use it or the game won’t be fun.
