I think the 'AR is too powerful, it would be enough that you just you reduce its power. The AR must be less potent than BR and Magnum
How about you?
Why must it?
HA the amount of times i get wasted by BR and magnum users up close is staggering. The AR dominates in closer ranges… as it should. The BR should never win against an AR at close range. The magnum only if its a perfect kill.

But it is.
The assault rifle only has the advantage in close range, it gets outdone by the SMG as it’s a tier 2 weapon and even the tier 1 pistol beats it past melee range. If you’re getting outgunned by it using a BR then you need better aim.
I think the AR is overpowered. It can kill you in less than a second (hello? this is not COD) and also can beat the BR in mid-range…it should not be like that.
I think we all agree that the AR must dominate in the close-range BUT it also dominates in the mid range.
No. just no. If you think its that great you should use it instead of whatever gun you are using.
no. ar should wreck the br at close range. nerf the ar and it would be a br sausage fest like halo 3. screw that, this is not h3. its best if you have reasons to switch weapons to fit the situation rather than everyone always carying br. you should adapt to using different weapons or adapt to using mid/long range weapons at their intended range.
The AR is fine, and it was fine in the beta before it was nerfed from that.
The AR should not be lees potent then the magnum and BR. Nothing should bee inherently less good then anything else, except for the power weapons, of course. That’s what weapon balance is, making sure each weapon serves a purpose and is worth using. Is the AR good in 5? Absolutely, but it’s not too good. I think you are just used to in previous games where the AR was terrible, and the BR/precision weapons were way too relatively powerful. The AR, is, at best, on par with the BR, just with a close range focus ratherr then a mid range one, but I think the AR is overall a little worse, because it’s less versatile then it, even if it’s more versatile then it used to be.

It can beat the AR in mid range… but the BR also can beat it at close range, it depends on how good the players using each are, a good BR player can beat a bad or even average AR user up close, and a really good AR player can beat BR users at mid range.
Unlike past games, the AR’s level of spread are low enough to where if you burst with it, you can be accurate, 3 round bursts are about as accurate as the BR burst from 3 out to medium range, so there is skill involved there, and there’s a headshot multiplier on unshielded targets.
Now, if you want to argue it’s too eeasy to do well with the AR at a distance, the the solution is simple: Reduce bodyshot damage, but increase headshot damage, and make it apply on unshielded foes, or do that, + make the headshot multiplier scale with bloom level, so only headshots that were fire when bloom was low get a big bonus
No thanks.
Make the BR the all powerful go to start weapon again like in previous games and i’m done.
The AR is fine as it is. You are just whining because you no longer have an unfair advantage to those who can’t aim with the BR. You are getting killed by less experienced players and you can’t handle it.
Its strong close range where IT SHOULD BE strong. I’m sick of this “BR has to outgun every gun at any range” mentality.
Assault rifle is actually a viable choice now, the BR still is the dominant weapon overall, not in close range though where it shouldn’t
its funny i literally just posted about this and i see yours?

And what about the fact that the AR can kill you in less than a second? I would say 0.5 sec? I repeat, this is not COD…and you are saying that the AR is not overpowered. I think it is
AR is OP.
How to kill someone in Halo Reach/4/5 :
1 - Take a AR
2 - Aim a spartan
3 - Press Fire
4 - …
5 - Profit…!
I don’t know why I’m trying hard to kill with a skilled gun which need to aim the head, when I can kill everyone by just pressing Fire with a AR and wait for the kill.
Ok then it is known that the majority agrees to nerf the AR.
I hope the “343i” follow us players.
AR does not need a nerf. The BR and Magnum are clearly better weapons. The only thing is, the AR is useful now. That’s a strange experience in halo. It still can’t be used for noob combos or nadeshots or other tricks like that. Even in a straight up fight, it loses everything beyond mid range. It gets kills up close easily enough, but is outdone by the smg super close. The weapon balance is fine.

3 people agree with you. 10 feel it is ok. Majority want it nerfed? Hahahaha.

If you land every shot with your BR/Pistol, it takes around the same time as a AR kill. If you’re up close, you’re simply using the wrong weapon; precision weapons are meant for long range, that’s how the game works.

Agree-ish
The AR needs to have one of the two happen.
- Nerf its damage
OR - Nerf its range
I prefer to nerf the range, the power level of the AR is probably fine, but the range it has is a bit ridiculous, especially if you burst fire… kills nearly as fast as a BR at range.
No. The ar is a joke compare the pistor, br and dmr.
