Overpowered Automatic Weapons?????

The automatic weapons in this game are ridiculous they do too much damage at long range… more than one have i been killed by a noob using one an assault rifle/smg at long range. it makes me want to quit halo 5 honestly so fix ur game 343 then i will be happy.

<mark>Do not make nonconstructive posts.</mark>

Please take your nerf posts and terrible english to the Bungie forums, you will feel right at home there.

Because in 2558 or whatever, I’m sure it would completely out of the realm of possibility to have automatics that are viable past 10 meters.

Get good with the pistol or BR or light rifle or what ever precision weapon of choice and it won’t happen.

so many kids hiding behind corners with smg/sr makes me sick its just not halo.

AUTOMATIC WEAPONS FTW!!!

Lol never played a diff halo huh?

The automatic weapons make this game less competitive because of their effectiveness at close to medium range. I mean yes if you perfect someone then your good but not everybody is going to do that most the time. People with autos catch you off guard with your back turned to them or they are they are hiding in corners and the radar doesn’t help these situations either.

Happened to me today. -Yoink- ing ruined FFA.

oh my god… long range death from AR and smg… what are you doing? standing still in the open? or are you low shield/health and someone finish you off from long range? well buhu for you… and congratz for that fella!

The weapon balance is perfect in H5. Players are just upset they can’t use one dominate weapon any more.

Take cover simple as.

If someone can burst AR/SMG fire and kill you at long range… they deserved the kill. Sorry dude. Gotta take cover.

Dumbest argument. I can shoot you in the back or jump you around the corner with any weapon. Automatic weapons are supposed to be good at close to medium range, its your fault that you’re probably bringing a DMR to a cqc fight. Play to your own and your weapon’s advantage.

As for the OP, if you’re standing around in the open long enough for someone with an AR to scope you out then you probably had it coming. Also if its an SMG then by the gods that pretty pathetic on your part. Get your game on instead of crying for nerfs. Or go to Bungie Forums like suggested, you’ll fit right in.

lol please be joking…the weapon you’re looking for is called storm rifle…
the balance is only perfect to someone who doesn’t like how Halo used to work…

get better at the game, if your getting killed at log distance with either of those weapons it must be embarrassing.

Oh the old way where one weapon dominated… yeah real balanced… also there storm rifle isn’t balanced as it over heats quickly. The weapon balance of H5 is the best it’s ever been in Halo.

For real though? People have been camping corners since Halo 1. You can kill a spartan with one blow to the back, of course they’ll be right around the corner.

there are different styles of gameplay and balance for games…HCE-3 worked because they had a utility weapon and it was a different style of game then H5.
saying traditional Halo wasn’t balanced because it used a utility weapon system is like saying football is unfair because you can touch the ball with your hands and that’s not allowed in soccer…
And if you really think SR is balanced because it overheats “quickly” but the former Halos utility weapons are unbalanced then I think it is useless to try to have a discussion here…

I’d find the concept more livable if it didn’t negate 3/4 of the sandbox that aren’t power weapons.

The comparison between the SR and the “Utility Weapons” doesn’t work, For one,the SR doesn’t win a lot of encounters out of close range, (AKA: balance) and can be easily combated with a precision weapon outside of close range. the H3 Battle Rifle is a precision weapon that basically trumped many non-power weapons in its own sandbox. Same with H2’s BR. And for CE… I’m hoping you’re not trying to advocate that the Storm Rifle is more overpowering than the Pistol, because then I would find it useless to have a dicussion here.

The balance is perfect in this case for anyone who can actually understand the concept as a whole. As in, no weapon particularly overpowering another, and every weapon having a use at different ranges/roles. The precision weapons in HCE-3 worked in pretty much every range with correct use, and it was pretty redundant to use any lower-tier weapon unless it was AR starts.

People are only saying that automatic weapons are overpowering because they have better precision in smart scope, but anyone with a clue would shoot him out of his scope before he could capitalize.
