Slower kill times, faster movement

Strafing is almost non-existent, and the AR shreds people at mid-range. I don’t want lower possible kill times on the AR, I just want it to be harder to use. Raise the bloom, raise the spread, add bloom to the Smart Scope. If you burst fire, and use it correctly the AR should be good. SMG needs way more recoil to make it a little harder to use.

Base movement speed and jump height need to be increased.

In order to ground pound it should require you to zoom and then beat down in quick succession while in the air to allow for crouch jump to return.

Shields recharge timer should either be faster, or sprinting should pause instead of reset your recharge timer.

I think that you should be able to move less while sprinting, and the spartan chatter should be toned down a bit.

There needs to be a way to know if a grenade is close to you (without resorting to grenade indicators) it could be a sound or make them more visible when they are actually coming towards you (or a mix or both) Right now I feel like you get killed by them without knowing they are there.

Thruster should have 2 possible uses like evade in Reach.

That’s all I got as of right now. Fine tuning is all that this game needs.
