The funny thing about them crying about balance issues is that their rage over the boltshot completely overwhelms their view of the rest of the games balance issues. Do you all honestly believe that if 343 were to overhaul mm for balance epicness they would decide in any capacity they should start with making the boltshot balanced !?
No, they would likely be adjusting map playability and loadout/AA/vehicle implementation issues…
That, is what’s funny, at least imo…
All they have to do is remove it from the loadouts to balance it. So, no, I don’t really see the humor in this, it is an easy fix.
I still feel your missing in the point in that, I see no reason the boltshot issue that some people are complaining about takes precedence over other balance considerations to be made by 343i.
Well to have a happy community, a good start is to address the most demanded issue. And in this case, it is the boltshot.
I highly doubt that, but if you can back that up I would be glad to agree with you…
I think the Boltshot is fine as is. If you’re smart enough to not get baited into a corner then you have nothing to fear from it.
for some people it is the biggest issue in the game. for me it’s load-outs and ordinance altogether. horrible things to put in a halo game

I can agree with that ! Though, I would be totally okay with all of what you mentioned if it were in social playlists.

Who says it does. We just want it fixed ASAP. How hard is that to understand. I imagine it’s an insanely simple fix.

I don’t have any statistics, but there is a reason that you’ve made this thread, and there is a reason many have made threads like this. Currently, it seems to be the most cried out issue, and I’m sure that if they fix it first, their view of the other issues would be much more clear.
the boltshot and the DMR are by FAR not the only balance issues with this game, however they are the most glaring.
they really need to start an official sandbox balancing thread or something, that way people will be able talk about more than just a few weapons, plus it would clean up the forums somewhat.
Holy ****, all the ADD gamers that have to stay moving all the time. These are the only ones who whine about the boltshot.
You can move and stop without being a “camper”. Stop rushing around corners blindly and maybe you won’t get Bolt-shotted as much.

Just because you don’t camp one spot the whole game doesn’t mean you aren’t a camper.

>implying that rounding corners slowly will remedy the problem
>implying that boltshotters don’t rush people around corners
>implying that the problem is not being able to see the bolt-shotters who are hiding intentionally, and will therefore use things like Wetwork’s Stealth, which negates Promethian Vision.
Funny thing is all the people crying about the boltshot, are probably the same people who cried about armor lock in reach…
> All they have to do is remove it from the loadouts to balance it. So, no, I don’t really see the humor in this, it is an easy fix.
It’s also a very lazy fix. That’s a fix worthy of EA or Activision there.
While I agree it is not the MOST important thing to address, there are plenty of other things like networking issues that are more important, I do believe that the Boltshot should be looked at and rebalanced. Whether it’s making the charge shot use the entire magazine then forcing a reload (risk/reward), shortening the range, lengthening the charge time, forcing the gun to use up the clip if the player fires the charge shot or just switches weapons (once you start charging, that magazine will be used up regardless) or whatever there are a ton of things the devs could do to bring it in line with the rest of the sandbox.

this is the reason why I hate gaming communities, you people really need to learn how to improve the game, not hinder it.

Yes I sure would love ot be defenseless against all the people who happen to get shotty, sword, scatter, hammer,and SAW that people pull out of their buts via ordinance! Oh how i love people who sprint with melee weapons! takes so much skill!
sounds like so much fun!
no we need bolt to balance the endless torrent of CQB powerweapons that come via ordiannce. This isnt H3 guardian where there are 6 CQB powerweapons per match.
On adrift there are 6 from map spawns and possibly 3 per player per ordiance. So 3 ordiannce times 8 players plus 6 on the map…yeh up to 30 CQB powerweapons per game…
No thanks. Go back to reach is you want to run around with the sword like a god.
Where there is smoke there’s fire.
How many threads a day do you see about the magnum or plasma pistol being over powered?
If a common problem is continuously brought up you can be the arrogant kind who says there is no problem and the problem is with the people who complain, or you can be a person of logic that ponders the reason for the continual topic. After all, if the Boltshot was perfectly balanced then no one would be making threads about it, OR, there’d be a similar amount of threads about the other pistols.
But there’s not.
So, once again, where there’s smoke, there’s fire.
