The pistol is just to much. Nerf it and buff the Assault rifle its horrible the fact it gets out gunned by pretty much every gun in the game. I see why everyone just runs with the pistol. the assault rifle is almost useless.
Get better. Sorry but the AR is actually fine where it is at. The AR is not meant for mid range combat which I am guessing you are using it for.
The assault rifle is fine it will beat a pistol at close range.
The AR should be an instant kill at all ranges if a single bullet connects.

Not really, even I will beat an AR with the Pistol at close range. Its OP af. I agree with the poster.

Savage
You do realise that this is literally the strongest AR in halo ever right?
Like literally, quite literally the strongest the AR has ever been at any point in any halo game
It gets range accuracy and damage buffs from smart scope and you’re asking for it to be buffed further?
Hey, why not make the AR shoot railgun rounds?
Why not make it shoot binary rifle rounds?
The pistol is a 5sk with a low RoF, it doesn’t need to be nerfed at all

You have 3 Team Arena games to make that judgement off of. Just because you beat some unranked noobs with a pistol doesn’t mean the pistol is overpowered
Everything you described in the original post indicates that things are working as they should.
If you want overpowered bullet hoses, go play COD.
Precision weapons take way more skill than spray & pray weapons, therefore they should be more effective. That’s how halo works.
And no… burst firing with the AR does not take skill.
There are way too many posts from people whining that weapons need buffing or nerfing.
Nothing needs buffing and nothing needs nerfing.
Most of my kills are by the AR and i’m not actually seeing everyone using the pistol like some people claim.
Yes I’ve seen people use the pistol and used it myself but I only use it in certain situations like if I need to reload my primary and don’t have time or if they are too far to kill with my primary.
Personally I think it’s good that the magnum is actually a useful weapon now as in previous Halos the game was so unbalanced that it was all about the BR and if you were a new player or just couldn’t aim with it(like me) then you were so massively disadvantaged and got bored and stopped playing.
I find the AR to be just right, at first I was not feeling it and I’ll tell you why, ADS and I’m a fan of how they implemented ADS. Hip fire with the AR is where its at.
Lol. Yes…buff the A/R’s so the casuals that can’t aim will have a fighting chance. Heck…increase the range too while you’re at it and add a nubtube as a secondary weapon attachment.
Why would you want to buff the AR, ever? Because it’s easy for you to use and you don’t want to put effort into getting better with guns that actually require you to have a modicum of skill?

If something the AR needs a nerf…
no
I’ll be honest, I think the AR and pistol are fine, the AR isn’t meant to be a long range weapon, it’s a mid to close quarters weapon and the pistol is more for picking of stragglers from range. At mid to close, the AR beats the pistol any day, in fact I think they compliment each other well.
The pistol is supposed to be powerful, it’s a risk vs. reward weapon since it fires less but the AR fires faster but more sporadic and less accurate.
Lol what
The AR is ridiculously powerful.

This is the most powerful AR halo has ever seen. Stop moaning. At least you get to start with the weapon you like. What about people who would like to have a BR start, like me, and thousands of others.
Okay, although I don’t quite agree with the poster, I don’t think that the weapons are tuned “just right.”
I don’t think it’s right that the sentiment for the assault rifle is that “it’s for the n00bs while the Magnum is for pros”
In the current state of things, I’d almost say that the assault rifle takes more skill to be good with because it’s so hard to win a gunfight against any precision weapon user, unless of course the latter player doesn’t have good aim (most Halo players do, mind you).
Unless it’s BR starts, the Assault rifle should at least have a slight accuracy buff because it’s really just impossible to kill anyone that’s engaging you back at ranges that a simple melee kill wouldn’t suffice. I mean really, unless you’re just the type of player to indiscriminately switch to the magnum (while mumbling in the back of your mind that it should be BR starts only or some crap) at the beginning of the match, you’d have to have noticed that it’s impossible to hit anything beyond mid-close range with the AR because of the insane bullet bloom even while aiming down sights!
The fact that quote “skilled” players complain that the AR is too good blows my mind!
The Magnum, I feel is in a good place after they scaled down the RoF since the beta.
Also, it’s a funny thought that an “Assault rifle” is a CQB weapon while a handgun is the standard for longer range engagements… only in Halo X)
