Am I the only one that thought the Boltshot was a bigger problem then DMR? Just saying thank you 343 for nurfing the Boltshot.So community are you happy that the bolt shot is being nurfed.(BTW no I am not a DMR Noob I am a SR 128 And my Tool of destruction is The Carbine)
Except for the nerf doesn’t solve the issue that you can still spawn with a 1SK weapon. 343i dropped the ball…again.

Yes it should not be 1sk but its better then nothing.
I didn’t think it was the biggest problem. I have 2680 Slayer deaths and 17 from the Boltshot. This calculate to a whopping total of %0.6 of my deaths. I am willing to bet your stats are somewhat similar to mine.
> I didn’t think it was the biggest problem. I have like 4000 Slayer deaths and about 14 from the Boltshot. I am willing to bet your stats are somewhat similar to mine.
I play alot of Regicide and it is infested with Boltshot people.BTW Cant wait for the true FFA Playlist!!

Yeah, dude, I’ve bee waiting since Halo CE for them to nerf the beat down. It’s 1sk when hit from behind every single time!

…A little different from the Boltshot
I agree that the Boltshot was the bigger problem but I don’t think the nerf went far enough. It shouldn’t be a 1sk weapon, but I guess we’ll see how this plays out.
I didn’t see either as a problem, but I’m glad 343 listened. The boltshot was by far the most complained about feature from those on this community.
I, too play Regicide a lot and I admit: I use the Boltshot. Probably not as much from now on, because outside of it’s tiny effective range, it is useless! I really loved that gun on small maps until the update came and ruined the weapon. If they decreased the overcharge damage, they should have also increased the damage of the normal fire, which is now very low.
Unlike other people, I don’t overuse the boltshot. I’ve seen players in Regicide who were carrying the Boltshot as if it was a primary weapon and they were using it in every encounter. I disagree with that kind of use and I consider that the bolshot should only be used at close-range ambushes and not for camping. I prefer staying on the move, even with the Boltshot. What I don’t think many people realize is that an overcharged shot requires good accuracy, since taking a follow-up shot takes a considerable ammount of time, and only 2 shots can be fired until a reload is needed.

This is very good. I started using the Boltshot as a response to players using the Assault Rifle. I absolutely hate that weapon and I think it shouldn’t be able to match the DMR at middle range. If the DMR is nerfed, then I want a nerf for the Assault Rifle as well. Increase it’s spread so that it won’t be as effective at longer ranges.
As a conclusion, yes, you can call me a DMR/Boltshot n00b, but I just adapt to the situation. I also realized that whining on the forums is a waste of time and I do not expect any other major changes in gun balance(for now), but it’s just my way of playing in the actual condition of the game.
The Boltshot was fine the way it was. The only problem is that it was a loadout choice, it should just be an ordinance drop or map spawn. 343 is blind, deaf, and dumb.
Even though it’s still a 1sk, it’s got a terrible range now. If you were going to make it a 2sk you would have to drastically reduce the charge on the weapon so it’s actually useful. I personally think that the semi-auto fire needs a buff, no gun should ever take more that a clip to kill with. (Look at you Halo 2 post TU magnum)

Agreed.I used the Boltshot because in many ways it seemed the only way to beat the Boltshot was use the Boltshot.
Yeah, the DMR actually had a chance of losing.
Boltshots, on the other hand, if used correctly guarantee victory. They still do, but now it actually takes skill to use them correctly.
I know I’ve been killed at least a few times with a Boltshot, and all of it was due to overcharges.

Seconded.
I’m very glad with the nerfed range. I don’t think the Boltshot’s damage is the problem itself, it’s just that the range was so ridiculous that you wouldn’t even have to trade in a Boltshot for a Shotgun or Scattershot when you had the chance to.
Maybe making the cooling time a little bit more longer and when you overload the boltshot make it use the whole mag instead of only the half could be good.
I think the dmr is the bigger issue. Just a bunch of babies cry because they aren’t smart enough to stay away from campers. you watch in a week or two people will start whining about how the bolt shot still owns them.
