Okay so we have the light rifle. Great, wheres my plasma rifle, my carbine? Heck, I’ll settle for a storm rifle.
Don’t you need to balance the alien weapons 343? Are we going to get a single Covenant weapon in the beta?
Please put some more alien weapons in the beta so we can see how well they work against human weapons. We need to make sure they’re balanced.
I want the needler, I’m wondering how they will incorporate that with the SA’s since it’s a much faster paced game now. Leading the needles would be really hard to do.
My assumption (as well as others) is that this is not the only beta test. I assume there will be at least one more, maybe two, to test out vehicles and possibly one for better weapon balance.
Of course, assumption can always be wrong.

That’s probably going to be the case, but I still want my beloved carbine in this build 
They comfirmed no second beta yet, but i do hope the covenant weapons balance to the UNSC’s
Yeah, gets dull with just the usual human guns.
Plasma repeater over that crappy storm rifle, and needle rifle from Reach as Covie dmr?

wat
The Plasma Repeater was quite possibly the worst weapon in Halo history. The storm rifle was actually able to kill enemies.
But if you mean, in terms of aesthetics, then i’d much rather have the Plasma Repeater.
I hope they add the needler rifle but it should be more powerful like a light rifle
Covenant bean rifle please.

Because Spartans don’t eat their vegetables.
^ Lol
OP, I find running around with that umbrella weird…
Needler rifle anyone?
Did the guy who made this topic remember that this is a beta, that not everything seen is all we get…
And to think that this is the stuff that prevents good feedback from being taken in more than it should…
No Sherlock, Halo 5 will have alien weapons quit worrying.
Give a good smack with that repeater after a good number shots and it works… and I wouldn’t call it the worst.

I see you didn’t read my post. I know the full game will have alien weapons. I want alien weapons in the beta so we can test them out and give feedback, so 343 can balance them.
Interesting thought… didn’t put much thinking into this or even realize it for that matter.
I like the “Light Rifle” change, it feels as powerful as it should be with the needing more time to zoom/smart-link. It’s not a ripoff /reskinning of the DMR like it was in Halo 4.
A lot needs to be shown;
The Needler - would need decent tracking but would also need a way the opposing player can avoid it. In prior games if you were to strafe towards and the opposite direction from where the projectiles were originating from you can avoid being hit. Any other way would be a death sentence.
Plasma Pistol - how is the tracking, Halo 2 was OP and other Halos after were a little underwhelming, the same way to avoid this should be similar to the Needler
Will the Forerunner single-shot-kill weapon be returning? I hope not, super powered version of the sniper rifle, OP.
Still a lot that should be shown prior to the beta ending but likely will not see.

This would be OK I think, it would make the Needler harder to use, which could justify finally turning it into the Power Weapon that it always had the potential to be
