The Storm Rifle is. This is the general reaction from fans of the BS.
For your entertainment: YOLO SWAG
I think the Boltshot may yet be added in personal ordnance in MLG.
But as for loadouts, no. Spawning with instant kill items is not Halo, not at all.
source?
I`m actually pretty curious as to what the settings will be.

I don’t think MLG is going to use ordinance. It substitutes luck for skill. They will have on map weapons.

You mean skill for luck. Lol
But, so far, they do have personal ordnance. However, it’s predictable. You’ll get the same thing every time.
MLG Ordnance is limited to things like grenades and AA’s. That way they can earn a Thruster Pack or Jetpack powerup, but not something crazy like a power weapon.

Oh ok.
But they are using map-based weapon spawns like old-school settings. I dont know the full repetoire, but I know the SAW and some other weapons you wouldn’t expect show up.

It’s a good thing the Boltshot isn’t an instant kill sidearm, then. Please don’t forget the charge time.
I really don’t care what the MLG think. They take a game like smash bros and strip it down to two of the same characters, no items, on a flat stage.
They take the fun out of gaming. They’re like the MTV of gaming. They don’t know what they’re doing.
You are referring to outdated test settings. The current test settings are listed in the OP of this thread. No Storm Rifle Secondaries anymore, and Boltshots have appeared on various forge maps, although current maps don’t have any.
The Boltshot should never have been a spawning item in the first place. Anyone with common sense knows this.

If you think default Halo 4 is fun, you must have never played Halo 1-3.

although the MLG community is known for stripping down games far more than they need to, the MLG community is also known for putting competitive play front and center.
at the end of the day you could always just not play the MLG playlist, I mean its not like they`re forcing you to play like them.
OMG the MLG??? RLY?
You act like they are the great governing council of a video game community who holds their breath waiting to be told how to play or what to like. As if anybody really gives two sh_ts about what the MLG are doing. Just play the game however you like.
today I played a regicide, and trying to do the challenge that needs to make 15 kills with a secondary weapon in a single match, I use almost for the first time the bolt shot, doing 13kill upon a total of 16 kill, I win the game, the 2nd did 27kills! He was very happy :D! Boltshot is -Yoinking!- overpowered! So or they remove it, or nerf it, so that with one charged shot, it can only take the shield off. Almost like a plasma pistol.
I agree with the poster above, what MLG does has no bearing on my thoughts of the game. If anything it spells out how MLG, once again, doesn’t seem to be able to handle every actual element in Halo 4 - choosing to bypass an element rather than use it in the metagame.

They wouldn’t need to nerf it if they hadn’t been stupid and changed the whole way Halo plays by taking weapons off the map. It would function just like a mauler and would be perfectly balanced if it was an item on the map, but no, we have to change everything because people like change.
Not surprised.
The boltshot has the capabilities to kill anyone with its shotgun charge and has a large blast radius.
I think it could do well as a replacement for mauler users, but beyond that, I think the range and power of it is just asking for trouble.
Well…looks like MLG is going down hill too. Storm Rifle? Seriously? That video said SAW and Shotgun too. Why? Why can’t they just keep it like it’s been and stick with BR, DMR, Rockets, Sniper, etc.
