The weapon tuning is set to drop June 3rd, and we have already heard a lot about it and seen some of the effects during the live stream.
My question is what precision weapon do you roll with right now, and what weapon do you think you’ll roll with most once the Weapon Tuning drops?
I am currently a BR and DMR user, but will most likely switch to Carbine. The Carbine is my favorite weapon, but it is kind of weak and constantly outperformed by other weapons in it’s current stage.
Same as now
BR on Small Maps
BR and LR in Big Team
Maybe some Carbine
I stopped using the DMR, not because of it’s power, but it just feels boring and unsatisfying to me.
Although I use and love the BR, I’m actually most excited about the Carbine. That gun was my BFF during the ODST campaign, which was my first Halo, and I’m really looking forward to being able to compete with it in War Games at long last.

I know, right? The DMR is immensely boring. That lame single-shot. Powerful, but I want that triple-shot BR, those bright orange trails from the LR, or the rapid-fire of the Carbine!

I LOVED ODST! Carbine was DEFINITELY an amazing weapon to pick up while wandering through the streets of New Mombasa.
Do you guys remember when Pro player Ninja said that the Carbine was absolute GARBAGE and that he would never pick it up? I was very surprised when the Bulletin revealed that he had grown to really like it after the weapon-tuning.
Big Maps - LR
Small and Medium - BR
I swear I get 4 shot by the BR now - playing in Australia that’s what it sure feels like
I use the BR now and I will use it on June 3rd plus I mite give the carbine a try to.
Currently: Anything but the carbine. It’s too weak now.
Post-update: Carbine all day, everyday.

It also feels a big generic as well, and it’s basically just BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG, rinse and repeat. The Carbine’s gonna be awesome too.

I loved ODST, probably my favorite Campaign and Firefight was amazing…
I used to use the DMR on big maps because of it’s reliability but I switched to the LR because I felt like a jerk.
I can’t wait to go back to the DMR!
Before WT update:
small maps: DMR
medium maps: DMR
Big maps: DMR
After WT update:
small and medium maps: BR and Carbine
Big maps: LightRifle
Currently I use the BR for small maps (switching to the DMR when my opponents are decent), and DMR on mid-large.
Post weapon tune, I’ll use the BR on small maps, DMR on mid, and DMR/LR on large. Not all that much difference.
I’m sure one weapon will still be slightly better than the others, but not enough to make a noticeable difference this time. I’ll probably use that one anyway.
Not sure about updating weapons all the time I feel it’s taking away the skill factor of halo instead of thinking before going into a battle because your gun might not match up you can just run in now because they will all be the same. Why not just change it to dmr and pistol for load outs and the only time u get different weapons is with ordinance

The problem is the DMR is too strong. There is no reason to pick a different weapon because the DMR wins in nearly every scenario.
Probably Battle Rifle or Carbine. Not sure yet but I’ll vote for the BR for this poll. I abused the DMR when I started playing Halo 4 because it felt stronger but now I find it boring. Even the Light Rifle is starting to bore me now too.
