Unfortunately the latest update to Halo 4’s matchmaking has not improved the balance at all. In fact, it’s completely ruined the whole experience. Don’t worry, the DMR has been nerfed, and that makes up for the fact that the battle rifle can now kill faster than any other primary at any range, and, in fact, can potentially beat out any other weapon in the game period. It plays like Halo 3’s? My -Yoink-. Halo 3’s actually took skill to use, not mention how it fires half as fast. The assault rifle can now kill as fast as a SAW. So unless you think dying every two seconds because of someone camping with a battle rifle, this game is unplayable for you. Good job 343, you officially made me stop playing this game after playing it for 8 months. I wish I realized sooner that this game is a joke.
You know that previous Halo games had even faster killtimes than Halo 4.
Someone’s exaggerating. A lot! Seriously, the update made the game a lot better. The AR is still half as fast as the Saw, and if you’re close enough, can even beat the BR. The weapons are much more balanced now.
I agree on the Assault Rifles part. They are really powerful in Halo 4. Too powerful indeed.

He’s probably referring to all the built in help with the aiming mechanisms it gives to the player.

The BR has always been a 4sk OP, the weapon tuning didn’t ruin it, it restored it

I’m sorry, but that is pure BS. The Lightrifle and DMR can kill the BR at a longer range. Also, The autos can shred the BR at close ranges.

The game is very playable. If you’re bad at the game, that doesn’t equate to the game being unplayable. Also you’ve been playing for 8 months and you’re giving up now?
Don’t take this the wrong way 343i doesn’t care and no one else here does. Sorry OP but there isn’t a need to make a thread about your departure. It’s not allowed here ever.
