So im still trying to figure out how to play this game. I start playing using my pistol as my primary weapon at least until i can find a br/dmr, and i basically get raped constantly in the medium short range are where on any other halo game i would win vs an ar/smg. So what im trying to figure out is the ar just that good or is my aim garbage. i win most br battles 1 on 1 on the other halos so i dont know if the adjusted aim for the “skill gap” exposes me or if halo is now noobed up so more people will buy it. i was stubborn the first 5 hours of playing game on using the pistol the more skilled weapon so i finally run around with ar (until i find another noob weapon) and i do really well. so i couldnt find anything but are pros now using ars more than not in medium close range) or are they sticking to the pistol.
on another note if halo 4 was so bad why not get rid of those bad weapons? And i feel like all the weapons are extreme power weapons idk what map it is but they might as well call it fuel rod cannon freaking automatic rocket launcher thats fair!
agree with you. AR is overpowered. Should dominate ONLY in the close-range. Mid range should be BR and pistol. Long range DMR.
Assault rifle is strong and out guns most weapons close range, as it should. Like the BR excels in medium to long range.
But still if you are the better player, you can still win fights with any other weapon against it.

Over powered assault rifle, or underdeveloped skills? Yes your aim is garbage.Yes you suck. Yes you are a noob. Get good or go home. No one likes a whiner.
Agreed with Zed, it’s doing what its supposed to at close range. Lets not forget the Reach and CE AR lol

You need to practice instead of complaining
The AR is not over powered.
It’s actually the BR and DMR that are over powered as people with good aim can use those weapons to kill you at any range. Although i’m not saying they should be nerfed because they are not starting weapons any more.
The game has to be accessible to everyone so the AR needs to stay as it is. Make the AR less powerful and people will be complaining they can’t kill anything with the AR. The BR will then return as a starting weapon which will then drive people away from halo

So for you being a skilled player is to sprint around the map and pull your trigger to anything that moves…and claim your kill? WOW Im impressed by your skills!
If anything is overpowered it is the lightrifle. Those three shot kills when scoped.
for all the negative comments i do spectacular with ar and not great with the pistol i dont need to practice if i have a formula thats working (unfortunately) im just having a hard time accepting halo as weve known is dead assuming halo 4 did not kill it and not saying i dont like it its just not halo as you say the ar should win close and it should but dont call it halo.
Yes, it is OP. You shouldn’t be able to spawn with a weapon that kills as fast as it does with no skill required and no room for outplay. Needs a nerf to its damage and range.

So then your problem isn’t really the AR then is it? lol
i guess not lol
I’ve always felt that skill in Halo was best represented by those who could use the entirety of the sandbox at their disposal to dispatch their opponents in whatever ways were available to them. An arbitrary factor such as what weapon is used, is irrelevant to what makes for a skill based game. It is how the player uses the tools he has and the environment to his/advantage that is what makes for skill.
The AR is pretty annoying to fight against. But the only way to beat it 100% of the time is to out-smart your opponent.

Bungie said the AR in CE acted like a SMG and the pistol like a Rifle, So they changed it in halo 2
CE magnum became the BR
CE AR became the SMG
and Halo 5 fixes all of that. The AR is not hard to beat. It’s not the Best weapon or the worst.
I’ve beaten plenty of ARs at Med rage with the Magnum. I’ve beaten plenty of magnums with the AR at Medium too. It’s how skilled you are and how you use them. Halo 5 has truly become a game where skill is rewarded
This game has almost no aim assist to my knowledge, so aiming is VERY different. Juat keep practicing. And actually try to learn the ar, im decent with it to begin with in h4 so some understanding transitioned to h5.
I don’t have a problem with it peppering you out of smart scope for a bullet or two, but when you can still go full auto from beyond RRR range and hit most of your shots there’s a problem. I’d just say it needs a little more bloom to punish sprayers and reward those who burst for the headshot.
Heh. People actually think the AR needs nerfed.
Balance is fine your just not using the weapons in the right situation/distance. Also SMGs are like the storm rifle kill time wise up close, so dont try to put the ar and smg in the same slot.
