This is the worst halo btb experience ever. I really would like to slap the person who said lets make the Spartan laser, rocket launcher ect, waste all ammo on one vehicle. These weapons are designed to remove painful vehicles but they just feel completely useless why even bother having them on the map, If boarding a vehicle does the job. It is a crap feeling to find one of these so called power weapons waste a round on a mantis (Spartan laser) and not even break the shield. Pathetic job 343 make these weapons feel important. They are weak useless trash.
So we should make vehicles weak useless trash. Sounds fun.
I do hate how much they’ve castrated the laser. That thing used to be the greatest thing ever in H3 when it could wreck ANY vehicle with 1 shot and I liked it that way.
To the guy above me, making the power weapons that are supposed to kill vehicles ACTUALLY KILL VEHICLES isn’t going to make vehicles terrible. And if it does, I’m fine with that too.

Power weapons should make vehicles trash that is the point of placing certain power weapons on the map. You want to ride a vehicle and not get blown out of it then secure the power weapons. At the moment it is laughable to even bother picking the crap power weapons up.
The spartan laser needs a buff

To be fair I haven’t played btb on here yet. All I know is in war zone everyone and they’re dog has a power weapon which makes vehicles useless. I just don’t want more of the same. Vehicles should be a viable option not just instant suicide.
I do think the laser needs a buff or accuracy should be important with it. A hit to the tank/wraith cockpit should be an instant kill for the vehicle or pilot, especially in the rear weak point of the tanks.
I miss the old spartan laser. The Hydra Launcher is also laughable weak against vehicles.

Biggest problems are the lock-on range being stupidly short, cancelled by descope, takes too long and by the time the missiles launch the vehicle is long gone. Such an awful gun…

Well I want power weapons to feel awesome. Tanks and mantis should be able to last at least 2 shots but that’s it. You run the risk of getting killed in a vehicle if your team cannot grab the power weapons, that is halo. Not lets make power weapons boring to use so people can drive around safely all game.
idk what y’all are talking about, ODST had the best Splaser… >.>

Agreed. The lock on system sucks. It should lock on faster and have a much larger range. A way to balance the lock on system is that it only locks on if you point directly at the enemy for 1-ish second. I.e. if you only point at the general direction of the enemy the system shouldn’t lock on.
haha I was playing a game on guillotine and was wrecking shop with the mantis, saw the splazer charging out of the corner of my eye and was like “well this is it”
direct hit…took less than half of my health, unloaded missiles on the guy, went on to kill 5 more players or so before getting stuck in a hole and killed by a banshee, just laughably bad balancing on some of these weapons
I even said out loud, “haha 343 you suck”
I thought the laser was still the same damage wise? Just need to hit the vehicle around where the pilot is seated. Unless you are referencing the upgraded vehicles, like ONI Scorpion, Ultra Wraith, etc, perhaps they are tougher.
Power weapons are still very good, but they have strengths and weaknesses ofc.

Exactly what is wrong with the game. 343 need to fix their screw ups. Half health from a Spartan laser that is pathetic.

Yes halo 3 was great with the power weapons although some vehicles should of had a little more resilience but BTB was fun due to the carnage you could create. Halo 4 had it wrong with plasma pistol load outs on vehicle maps but halo 5 has got the worse power weapons for vehicle takedowns out of all the game to date and its ruined BTB for me.
