To begin with, I feel like the BR tuning was pretty good. It effectively made the BR a mid-range weapon instead of a mid-long range weapon. I have, however, experienced some problems with BR/magnum confrontations. It feels like the magnum can out-duel a BR at any range, especially long range. It is definitely frustrating to face a magnum user with my BR because it feels like 8/10 encounters end in my death. It also seems like, in fewer cases, the Magnum can out-duel a DMR.
I feel like an appropriate magnum tuning should go as follows:
Reduce damage, making it a 5 body 1 headshot kill. - Slightly increase fire rate to make up for that loss of damage - Increase spread for a slightly less consistent shot - Reduce red reticle range to effectively shorten the magnum’s rangeOut of these four suggestions, I believe the last two are the most important. What do you all think about this tuning suggestion, and what do you think of the tuning update as a whole?
I feel you man, the magnum its OP as hell dude. long, mid and short range, doesn’t mater if you have BR, DMR or Carbine.
Most of my encounters where 8/10 with me losing.
i think they should make it fire slower or reduce damage as you said. (that was the reason it fire slow in halo 3, if you are a good player you have a change of taking down an enemy even if he as br or carbine).
The camo its REALLY hard to see, it was good as it was before, 343 doesn’t get that camo needs to be like the one in halo 3, if you are walking (100% invisible), if you run like crazy then ok you gain a little visibility (70% - 80% invisible, depend of how fast are you moving) (Halo 3 was a slow game, thats the reason they made the camo full invisible even if you were walking).
Most weapons were ok, Carbine,dmr smg,etc etc. but they have to retune a lot of other weapons of the game (loking at you Brute Plasma Rifle).
