Question about the weapon tuning.

Games Other Halo
1

So, I know that the BR is supposed to be a 4sk now, but i was just in a custom game and it was a 5sk still. Does anyone know why? I thought a change to the “sandbox” would change it across all gametypes.
Another question; do the weapon changes apply to Spartan Ops/Campaign?

I second this notion.

How?

The weapon tuning is basically a bunch of hidden Custom Game options that only the developers can access. Accordingly, weapon-tuning settings are contained in game variants.

To use the updated sandbox in Custom Games, you need to play a weapon-tuned match in Matchmaking. Then, go to your File Browser’s Temporary History, and save the game variant you just played. At that point, you can play it in Custom Games and even edit the settings; as long as you use that specific game variant (or an edited copy of it), you should see the weapon updates.

This was probably the most versatile way 343i could’ve implemented the changes, but unfortunately (as you’ve noticed) it makes it impossible for them to update the weapons outside of War Games, as Campaign and SpOps don’t use game variants.
