Poor balancing in halo Infinite

Sure. You can like Halo and you can like Call of Duty but you don’t like Call of Duty because it’s Halo.

In Halo 4, a team can take down vehicles with just assault rifles if they work together. vehicles aren’t so overpowered you get a free killing frenzy every time you use one.

Part of the issue here is they made it so only shock weapons can immobilize vehicles…and each map BARLEY has ONE shock weapon! When the Plasma Pistol was able to EMP vehicles, nearly every map had Plasma Pistols.

In halo 4, there aren’t 500 grenades flying all over the map every second. You actually have to use your gun.

I realized in Infinite that grenades are EVERYWHERE. The frequency sure seems higher than it used to in all other Halos.

@Thee_Sheep

In halo 4, people aren’t spawning right next to each other every game.

I never noticed this. Could be a thing…but I personally never noticed it.

@Thee_Sheep

In Halo 4, there is a HUGE amount of weapon variety that makes you wonder why so many weapons were removed from Infinite.

I have noticed the lack of unique weapons in Infinite. Most people use the Assault rifle, the Battle Rifle if it is available, the Needler, Rockets, Gravity Hammer, Energy Sword and Sidekick.

Shotgun, sniper, the light shotgun that can have its spread changed, shock pistol are used less.

Everything else are usually used by skilled people or people looking for challenges.

This tells me that other weapons are no fun. What happened to the days when the shotgun could win a fight against the Sword?

@Thee_Sheep

Consistency issues…

THis literally speaks for itself hahaha. Consistency in this game is horrendous. How did it end up like this? Still boggles my mind how this changed from 1-5…Infinite is the only Halo game where I felt I had no power at being good. The other games I would know if it was me playing bad or not…Infinite not so much…

@Thee_Sheep

Halo 3, unfortunately does not hold up.

Funny you mention that…I was playing Halo 3 last weekend and it was so damn fun compared to Infinite. Almost made me go back to that game for a few weeks of MP fun.

I think there’s a lack of weapons generally and it’s not helped by some weapons just being so much better that you don’t need to use anything else.

Is that pulse Carbine better than my AR?

Is that beam rifle/commando better than a battle rifle?

Is the Bulldog/heatwave a massive improvement over the AR?

Is the sentinel beam a serious improvement on an AR?

This makes the combat too similar. You’re always fighting somebody with starting gear. On 4v4 without vehicles that’s a problem.

[Little_Squash]

Basically the AR/Sidekick combo is too powerful for starting weapons?

This makes picking up anything other than power weapons a personal preference and not a tactical decision. Also, challenges.

Yeah I mean I only pick up Sentinel beam because it’s a Forerunner gun and I enjoy disintegration.

I would add that the battle rifle is a cut above most guns as well.
