Just for kicks i used nothing but AR in 5 ffa matches in a row and won 4/5 of them. When i was using my pistol i had trouble even making it into 3rd place. I am onyx in ffa so im facing decent-good people.
Im good at halo and hate that i have to use the ar to win. Ive never had that problem in any other halo ive always used pistol, br, or dmr and always had a 1.5-2.0 K/D
also with the radar so short of a distance there is nothing that one can do when another player runs up and starts spraying at you with the OP AR because by the time they show up on your radar they are basically close enough to melee you.
I don’t see any problem with the ar but the radar needs a huge fix and something needs to be done about grenades. Way to many grenades flying around and you should never start with more than one in a multiplayer match
The AR is fine. Quit whining that it can outshoot precious precision weapons.
Radar is too short. Rabbits have advantage and it’s not the halo philosophy.
Nerf the Assault Rifle? The MA5D? That thing only works if you’re right in your opponent’s face 70% of the time.

I honestly thing we should spawn with one frag with limited pick up.

If you have to tell every one you’re good at something then you’re probably not good at something

Agreed I am onyx in FFA and you have to use AR a lot to win. In the past if you could control a BR in AR starts gametype you would do good. Now I can kill people across the map with the AR.
AR sucks dude. Why nerf a terrible gun?
If we nerfed everything everyone is complaining about, we’d be stuck shooting each other with the Storm Rifles.
I honestly think this game has no standout weapon and is pretty well balanced with the “basic” weapons. It’s all about positioning. Everything has a range where it can dominate from my experience.

Limited pick up? what the hell? That was probably the most hated mod they made to halo 4. thank god they ditched that idea.
I love all these whining kids that grew up on BR starts. The AR used to be the go to weapon and I’m glad Halo 5 brought that back!
Haven’t really noticed an issue with the AR, I think its quite well balanced, all of the guns have a different use and are better at different ranges and situations.
Maybe you are just better with the AR and not very good with the pistol. BR still wrecks AR, but if you slip up with your movement or shots then the AR will destroy you… Quite competitive IMO.
I think being shot in the back by team-mates and even naded by them is a MUCH bigger issue than this. Especially considering it gives the kill to the enemy player rather than your team-mate(s) getting a betrayal. I know this isn’t an issue in FFA, I’m just throwing it out there 
Oh and maybe you should change your play style when using a different weapon, i mean comparing how you preform wit the Pistol to how you preform with the AR is kind of silly… “I wreck with the sniper but I just cant get kills with the shotgun” or "The DMR destroys the SMG, OP OP OP!" I mean come one just give it a rest.
AR is fine, it gets destroyed by precision guns unless the one using precision guns is missing shots.
I would like more radar range though.
I like what they were trying to do by giving radar a short radius- making it play more like slayer pro- but I think they overdid it a little. I’d like to see it extended from 18 meters to 22 meters which would give it about 50% more coverage.
Yeah, only reason you have trouble with pistol is inexperience. The AR takes some more skill than it used to. If anybody has taken a good look at them there is considerable more damage done at the critical hitbox. Of course if anyone using a precision weapon dies by AR you kinda suck, but regardless.
Refer to this thread if you would like to discuss radar issues. It has some pretty good info in terms of radar functionality and how the current radar does not suit the gameplay mechanics.
No issue with the AR as it is. Doesn’t give me trouble unless I try to pistol someone with one in CQC… As far as the radar goes, I would like to see it boosted by a meter, maybe two, but that is about it.
AR is not OP
SMG beats it in its ideal range
if you are doing that well in FFA i assume you are shoulder charging or melee and spray
the AR is perfect for cleaning up after those or kill stealing from someone else’s fight.
not bashing your playstyle because i do it myself more often that i probably should
