Over Powered Weapons

Why is it that almost all weapons in Halo 4 are over powered? here is a list of guns that i think should get nerfed:

  1. Shotgun
    Reason: its like there is no need to two piece with the shotgun because is blows you away with one shot from a good distance.

  2. SAW
    Reason: it does way to make damage from afar.

  3. Needler
    Reason: its like you can’t side step the needles anymore. it’s like once someone run up on you with it its instant death lol.

  4. Battle Rifle (BR)
    Reason: no real reason but i think there should be some kind of recoil after every shot when you aren’t zoomed in and when you’re zoom no recoil.

  5. Designated Marksman Rifle (DMR)
    Reason: no real reason but i think the bloom time should be increased a little more when you’re not zoomed but when zoomed in bloom cools down fast like it does now. or add recoil just like i mentioned with the (BR)

6.Assault Rifle
Reason: this gun does damage outside of it range just like the SAW and it annoying.

  1. Rocket Launcher
    Reason: i feel like its hard to escape the blast radius. i remember back in the old Halo days if you timed a perfect jump when someone shot a rocket at you there was a chance you could survive the first shot, now its like if someone shoots it at you your dead.

  2. Scattershot
    Reason: just like the shotgun blowing kids away from afar lol.

  3. Sprint Stopping Power
    I don’t know why stopping power was implemented in Halo but i think it should be removed.

  4. Aim Assist
    Reason: why isn’t there a option to disable aim assist, i also think the aim assist should be tweaked to work less. i feel like even bad kids can get kills on me in this game because of the aim assist being to high.

Don’t get me wrong now i’m loving Halo 4 right now, i’ve been playing it 24/7 nonstop since it was released i just feel like you gave good play the tools to be great players and campers the tools to camp even more. i don’t know if anyone will agree with anything i just mentioned but please respect my opinion of what i think of some of these weapons. i paid $100 for my copy of Halo 4 so let me voice my opinion lol. if you want to share what weapons you think are over powered please do or if you disagree with anything i said please share but be respectful.

Is this your first time playing Halo or are you trolling? Those are power weapons, you’re supposed to try and get them for the advantage. Every person who plays Halo knows this.

Meh, I’m fine with everything besides the DMR. It’s got far too much range to be as powerful as it is. Granted just about everything beats it up close, it’s much easier to maintain distance (sit down, snipe) than to close it.

IMO, it needs something small, like a tiny bit of recoil (not bloom), a weaker scope, or another tick taken off it’s ROF to make a more compelling argument for the use of other guns (and other strategies thereby) on bigger maps.

I lol’d. Should we use paintball guns and rocks?

Shotgun: Your targets were probably weakened, or you were weakened when it shot you. I haven’t been impressed with it’s range.

SAW: The SAW is map pickup, if you could start with it, then you might have a point but usually I only get it by ordnance or luck with the map.

Needler: I haven’t had problems, but that might be because no one’s tried it on me.

Battle rifle: If anything, this is underpowered. It’s good, but seems to be outclassed by a few guns it shouldn’t be.

Designated Marksman Rifle: Understandable, it does seem powerful.

Assault Rifle: I’m glad this is stronger, I was getting tired of the weak BB gun AR of the previous games.

Rocket Launcher: This is supposed to kill people easily, it’s a power weapon.

Scattershot: It takes multiple shots to kill from afar. Far from being OP.

Stopping power: If this was anything but ordnance, I might agree with you.

Aim Assist: Yeah, definately high. Nerf it a little bit.

So you basically just listed every weapon in the game… Good job!

Basically what he said. DMR should be really powerful since it takes skill to use and the majority of the others are power weapons.

Shotgun - Its a close range weapon. Distance yourself… No one can kill you with it if you distance yourself. I saw my brother play a while back, and he’d simply throw a grenade, weaken the shotgun player, and pick him off with a DMR shot.

Saw - Same thing with Shotgun… Distance yourself and you are good. The SAW is only good at close range. mid range isn’t all that great and effective as close range. My brother had no problem with this. And I don’t either.

Needler - I agree 100%. But it is a power weapon now, not just a weapon you pick off the floor now like in halo 3.

Battle Rifle - SO wait wait… Am I Hearing this right? You want recoil when someone isn’t zoomed in… and you want no recoil for someone zoomed in? you know this isn’t like halo 3. where when you get shot while zoomed in, you zoom out… No… I can stay zoomed in for as long as i want… and i can kill… i disagree with this.

DMR - Hmm Maybe. All i reall wanna say is slow down the pace of the DMR.

AR - Omg… Kids these days… DISTANCE YOURSELF… OMG ITS NOT HARD…

Rocket Launcher - It is a power weapon but I agree. Also the rocket launcher model needs to be bigger… I can barely see the shot 90% of the time.

Scatter Shot - OMG… No no forget it lol. just no.

Sprint Stopping power - Yes.

Aim Assist - I agree with that as well.

> <mark>Well in real life Shotguns can kill at good ranges as well. If the target is more than a few meters away from you in game you would be better off throwing rocks at them. Also, A power weapon.</mark>

> <mark>Tracking on Needler has been nerfed compared to PAst games. Also no a Power weapon.</mark>
