The AR is too powerful for a starting weapon and it hurts the experience

It most likely will share a slot in the weapon racks. probably might be given the tier 2 status considering all the other smgs are tier 2s so far.

Or it might just be tier 1 like most of the unsc light-infantry. But I also wonder how 343 will make it unique enough so that it’s not clashing with other CQB weapons like the sidekick or the AR.

Probably going to make it slightly weaker than the AR, considering the ammo for the AR is a higher caliber than the SMGs.

And it being simply the gun chief prefers has no bearing on what should constitute a starting weapon in a balanced multiplayer experience.

Who’s “multiplayer experience”? The Halo player base at large or just a select few eSports wannabes? If it’s the latter, then Halo Infinite will continue with its sup 10,000 player base and fade off into history…

The multiplayer far over took the story.

Very sad if true… But could one of the reasons why Halo Infinite’s numbers are so low. Indeed, still not having co-op, something every other Halo game has had on day one, continues to a big middle finger from 343i to half the fans of Halo.
