In the article “Duty in Battle” it mentioned that the points for Spartan kills will be raised, how many points will a player get per kill?
I wanna guess that you’ll get least 2 points per every Spartan Kill compared to just 1 point (which will lead to shorter matches), but it’s difficult to tell. Can’t wait to see how it all goes.
Boggles my mind that the H2BR is 5 now… Its the only fun load out to use.

I cannot believe they didn’t reduce the cost of the SMG(s). A starting REQ cost of 4 is too much for those borderline useless weapons; especially, within Warzone.
- Battle Rifle 3 -> 2 <- Yes (definitely for the Recon), about time given how the weapon was nerfed. - Magnum Extended Mag 2 -> 3 <- Sad, but I guess it makes some sense. - Halo 2 Battle Rifle 4 -> 5 <- Sad and I’m not completely sure it needed to be boosted, but it’s not a terribly unfair change. - DMR 6 -> 5 <- Sure, okay. - Recon DMR 6 -> 5 <- Shouldn’t the Recon DMR be less than the others? - Sentinel DMR 6 -> 5 - Hybrid DMR 6 -> 5 - Morph DMR 6 -> 5

I think the new sandbox will try to make the H2 Battle Rifle take on the role of a primary rather than a “heavy secondary” as I see it.

I used it as my primary all the time. Pistol till lvl 4req then H2BR. BR wasn’t even worth getting most the time, just doesn’t feel right at all.
Even with the changes in req level to the BR it still won’t be used much. The magnum has no recoil and better range than the recon BR. The only BR I use are the hybrid or morph site other than that the H2BR.
These changes seem pretty strange to me except the DMR at req 5 seems like a good move. The extended mag magnum at req 3 doesn’t make sense the taxtitac magnum is at the same level soo one won’t be used.
They could have also addressed the req level of various underwhelming power weapons like pool of radiance, twin jewels, white scar etc. Basically weapons that aren’t used since there are better options at the same level
Was there an explicit reason for these changes? Was the majority of the population complaining about said weapons? Odd indeed. If anything update the maps in arena… Id rather be playing on Bloc Pit & husky raid varients
It’d be interesting to see how much “closer” the point totals between teams become with the update. In my experience, losing teams don’t tend to have high kill numbers. Especially if they’re outclassed in weapons and vehicles. I can see what they’re trying to do by tweaking the REQ levels of the loadouts, but I’m still going to be bummed having the H2BR changed to 5.

I think they should’ve kept it at 4 especially with the DMR being lowered to 5.

Only thing I’ve seen on the forums was complaining about bad matching. Maybe they wanted to address that and then did the “while we’re in here” with the REQ changes.
I’m surprised it took them this long to finally lower the DMR level. Still no Firefight or BTB refreshes. Le sigh.

Bad matching i understand. I like the dmr change, but H2Br makes no sense imo. I would love an explanation.
Yah i feel the community is always expressing change for certain things (new btb & arena maps, use forged ones). Yet we get things like req changes… Because thats the most important thing that needs addressed atm. Hmmm

Why would they refresh BTB? They don’t care about that mode anymore given how there’s no dev support for it.

Care to elaborate?? Unless you work for 343 or maybe there was an update that said they will no longer be updating btb? i feel that if they are updating the sandbox for wz and adding in rotational playlists, i dont see why btb & arena cant be addressed
Honestly, moving the H2BR at lvl 5 is a bad move. I understand why they are doing this but most of us are not used to this changes. For example, I don’t see the logic of placing the regular BR at lvl 2. I can assure that majority of the community don’t even pick this up anymore and now they move the extended magnum at lvl3? From what I read they are trying to place some loadouts a higher req level because they are “really strong” and place a lower req to those weapons we might not even use most of the time. I truly don’t see the reason why they are doing this now. Really why now seriously?
As for the score on kills, I also understand why they do this. They feel some games last too long because of this but when did we ask for this? I personally like warzone games that last “long” like both teams with fairly even scores in the progress and making it competitive. This also means some really blown out matches, a full skilled team of warzone dominating would happen more frequently. I get they are trying to limit this from happening and to the match to end sooner its not necessary a solution.
Just my opinion…

Its a shame that the BR is almost being outlawed in Halo… I feel the BR is a mainstay in halo games. Now its like, meh id rather pick up that empty bolt shot

Cause forgers have made fixes and new maps for it, but they’re just waiting on 343. The people still updating playlists can also update BTB.
Why did they have to raise the req level of the 2 best loadouts weapons.
Extended magnum and H2BR were perfect where they were .
Making the h2br level 5 will make us run the pistol more. We are not magically going to pick the crap nerfed BR that’s worse than the base pistol. I don’t think 343 gets it that they screwed the H5 br up for good and anyone with a brain ignores its existence

I feel like we run with the pistol enough in almost every other game mode. Lvl 4 for H2BR on big wz maps seemed perfectly balanced. This change seems way out of left field & there will probably be no logical explanation as to why this was done. This just means more pistol play, Yay…
