Simple question. Do we want a knee jerk patch that might ruin the pretty good weapon balance we have now cause God knows Devs have never had the forsight to do Weapon Balance patches without causing a lot of “unintended problems”.
Or do we want them to focus on Custom game patches. A lot of the Forge/customs have broken features and a lot of missing options and gametypes. RACE…Fix infection, Option to disable Flag seconadary and Instant spawns in slayer.
Obviously I don’t want a patch to the game because I’d say the balance is within 5% of perfect so any changes they make will probably be the wrong since they refuse just like bungie to listen or consult the community. I could be wrong but do you want to risk it?
This game is still too new for changes to the fundementals. I should hope they wait till after they address the far more pressing and general more popular issues no one will complain about like if they ruin the weapon balance, with custom options and gametypes and forge before making changes to gameplay. We could use more maps in the playlist. A better Matchmaking Format. A working File system.
The BR kids will never be happy until the BR is a one shot kill. Nerf the DMR and it will be the Lightrifle next and so forth until the BR is king and then all hail the smugness.
easiest thing ever: remove DMR from loadout and make it a drop weapon like shotgun, needler and other. Problem solved. Noone complaining that it’s OP becouse it becomes actually a power weapon, while at the same time more players will go using all the weapons from the loadout (that for now are fully USELESS becouse of the presence of DMR. Why use any other weapon when DMR wins on all ranges without any effort?)
I want custom options more than anything.
I only think some weapons need minor tweaks, mainly the BR (buff to 4sk) and carbine (buff to 7sk). Also, the boltshot, PP, and plasma grenades should be removed from loadouts. Before anyone jumps on me for having the DMR as my TOD, realize I have a lot of large map games under my belt.

Are you DMR BANNED? So 343 won’t let you use the weapon? Do you want a bunch of redundant weapons. Cause either they ruin the game like Halo Reach by braking it into a Rock Paper Scissors Game or they leave the DMR as is=A great utility weapon with a steeper skill curve and more risk/reward than most weapons. Ya it has a faster time to kill but is the hardest to acomplish that with. I get top kills no matter what weapon I choose as long as it is good for the situation and map I am on. No you can’t use your AR on Valhala.

Are you sure we’re playing the same game? With aim assist as high as it is I don’t really think that the skill curve is all the steep. As far as risk / reward goes, the only risk I’ve seen is running out of ammo from camping behind the pelican too long on Ragnarock while the reward is a having a weapon that performs well at every range.
Ow so you do understand why Halo Games are/Were Great. Having a weapon that performs well at every range allowed Individual player skill to be more important than Weapon choice.
I do support reduction in spread on the BR. I’m unsure about a ROF increase on 1 frame. the LR is great on big maps. I use it as my primary so I can master it and because it is better in a lot of ways than a DMR. Only 2 maps might support AR play well cause of how big most maps are and the BR is the go between the AR and DMR
