For the love of all things holy, can we get this playlist so that all the scrub newbies can max out the binary rifle kills and not -Yoinking!- resort to splattering me in BTB to obtain it (way to get around the friendly fire btw).
This is a horrible idea. Can you image a game of snipers that consists of mostly one shot kills no matter where the round hits?
…
I take it back, that would be awesome.
I would be more afraid of using it than being shot by it.
Big giant laser beams that reveal your location in a gametype based on sneakiness.
Binary rifle snipers with camo would be kind of interesting.
CQC maps with binary rifle…
I SEE ACTION SACK COMING…
Oh wait 
I dunno… In Team Snipers, you spawn with a Sniper and there is a Beam Rifle on map to fight over. Shotty Snipers is… well Sotty Snipers. Why have one where you spawn with both the Sniper and a Beam Rifle and fight over the single Binary Rifle on the map?
I play CoD with 10 sensitivity and i snipe and am a beast at quick scoping.I feel sorry for the poor souls i go against.I don’t need to stay scoped in for more than .25 sec to kill someone with that thing no matter the range.I do just binary’s with a couple friends in customs every now and again, so i know how messed up it would be.Though i support this idea, it would be awesome haha.That and i can work on that stupid gun that i get once in 50 games, that is if i even care to play anymore.Just tired of campy camo DMR’s in every game lol.

The camo would be pointless.
I already get Snapshots with the Binary Rifle, the enemy would be doomed.

Works better as a shotgun than the Scattershot.

Pretty sure the suggestion was for a loadout consisting only of Binary Rifles.

It was, but in the Team Snipers playlist it is unlikely. Although in an Action Sack playlist…
At first I was thinking “wtf NO”. You did, however, get me thinking that a playlist like that would be a good noob pool. But the binary rifle is so incredibly overpowered that many more people would be likely to get pissed off by it.
I actually made a custom game type just calling it " sniþers " a while back I added all 3 Sniþer , Beam Rifle and Binary Rifle’s for choosing to use but… due to the one shot kill for Binary I removed my custom gametype. I could remake this gametype again but im not sure if I will or not.
I can’t understand what makes everyone so against a playlist with everyone using binary’s.Is it because you actually have to react fast enough to win.Who knows.
You say its overpowered but understand that its 2 shots with the other sniper rifles which have a higher fire rate and more shots before reload(excluding the beam rifle).The binary has a slower rate of fire than the human sniper and must reload after 2 shots.It also has a gigantic laser beam that shows where someone is, how is this overpowered lmao.It’s a one shot kill big woop.Its a power weapon with a slow rate of fire and low ammo, so of course its overpowered.I can kill you just as fast with the beam rifle but without the big laser beam before i fire with very high aim assist, that is overpowered.
There is also that very small fact that you actually have to scope in to hit someone, but i guess that’s too complicated, so of course the people that are unable to scope in and shoot fast enough are going to be against such a playlist.The binary rifle take more skill to use than a beam rifle or human sniper.Since there is less room for error.Which also truly shows off peoples skill in regards to reaction speed and control.
Binary Slayer without the Energy Sword would be a welcome addition, actually…
There should be three different options for voting in the teamsnipers playlist just as there are three choices in team objective.
-
Human Snipers - Sniper rifles only
-
Covenant Snipers - Beam rifles only
-
Forerunner Snipers - Binary rifles only
For 343i: You seem to think that you are creating something new and cutting edge, yet you tend to fall back on old habits. Put more diversity into the game, make playlists specifically for weapons that are unusually hard to find. Such as: Team Overpowered, players spawn with railguns and spartan lasers ( rockets on map). Or, team cannons, players spawn with concussion rifles and fuel rod cannons, incinerator cannon spawns on map. Most playlists are extremely boring and completing weapon mastery seems far off even if a player hits the rank of SR.130.
And another thing, why did you not put a prestige system into effect? The gameplay is chopped by sprint and instant respawn anyway. So that part ruins the halo factor. Plus the idea of combat by poke shot is pretty sad. IDK
I’m actually making a gametype for this as we speak.

Correct me if i’m wrong, but didn’t Halo 3 have something where certain gametype variations would pop up every now and then. Like Lone Wolves, you had your regular Slayer, and then there was a rare version with just energy swords. If they implemented something like that where the Covenant and Forerunner Snipers variations would come up every now and then I’d be for it. At least that way everybody has the same starting weapons, and it wouldn’t have to be a regular gametype, but it would still pop up.
