The Halo one pistol on BTB

Games Halo 5: Guardians

Hello, I would like to talk about the halo one pistol being on BTB. Yesterday I was playing slayer on recurve, and my friend and I found a halo one pistol in the circular towers near the gauss hog. I want to complain how unfair this is due to some factors;
>It spawns too quickly.
my friend and I camped out the two spawns for it (one for each team) and it would spawn so quickly that we were racking up to 80 rounds spare. Since it only took 3 shots for a kill it was way too easy to hold down the two spawns.
>They spawn too close to each other.
The two spawns are in circular towers, as I said, and you only need to cross a small bridge to get to the other spawn. This is unfair as if you have a fire team,(like I did) you can easily hold down the two spawns and rack up the kills.
>High damage, no recoil=good substitute for the sniper
When I was playing on recurve, I found out how easy it was to ‘snipe’ people with it, from sniper spawn, to where the splinter turret is. This is mainly because of no recoil, it is easy to be accurate. In addition, the good rate of fire and high damage makes it easy to kill people at long range, though it took 4 shots, not 3.

Having explained how over powered it is, here’s some suggestions;
>Take it out of BTB
Even though my friend and I were holding it down, and it was fun, when other people do this and you get affected, it’s not. I was a big fan of BTB on reach, and I don’t find it as fun, because this pistol can turn the tide of a game without problems. I felt no need to go round the rest of the map, because of the amazing accuracy it has.
>Nerf it
As I explained, the non existent recoil means a very accurate gun. The high damage means close quarters combat and long range fights are not a problem. I suggest either adding recoil, lowering the damage, or even decrease the amount of bullets it gets as spare, and in a magazine.
>Make the spawn times longer
i think that if the spawn time is increased, and you only get one magazine, then it could be fair. Players won’t camp out the spawns, and enemies would have a higher chance to kill them.

If you have any other suggestions/disagree then do post it. Thank you.

Ideally, the Halo CE Pistol should be a Tier 3 power weapon on Big Team Battle (meaning it spawns on a weapon pad similar to the Sniper and Laser).

No idea why they decided to just dump it on Recurve, especially when it is more powerful than most guns.

Nerfing it isn’t an option because it is a throwback to Halo CE. It is also designed to be a Warzone power weapon.

Yeah, they replaced it with the battle rifle that was there and I’m sure the spawning time is as quickly as the BR would have spawned. It’s kinda dumb. I was going 30-0 till the team rushed us with splinter turrets. If it can’t be nerfed, then increase the spawn time. Within a few minutes of the game a whole team could have a pistol for themselves.

Seems more accurate indeed

It might be there to promote it and have something to work for. Many will probably never get the ce pistol so they wanted to let them try it out and also encourage them to hunt for it in the req system (or use microtransactions). I think that one should spawn inside each base at the start but have one of those things that make it float so it would have to respawn in 2 minutes.

I think its there to give people something else to use, and a reason to move down the middle of the map besides the Spartan Laser (which seems to get overlooked a lot of times on Recurve)

I really feel like they should have added a camo on recurve to combat everyone camping in snipe tower (top mid).

^ That should have been added rather than ce pistols.
