What do you think of the new gun?? Is it too good to be a power weapon? Or does it look to be way over powered. I think its a sweet looking gun but will end up being way to overpowered. Again… Wat do you think??
It’s incredibly powerful at close range, but outside of that, it won’t be much use. I think it’s really cool that we finally get to see a proper UNSC fully automatic power weapon.
It’s basically a buffed AR. It’s a power weapon, as it should be. It’s not good at far range. So it’s not overpowered. I can survive an encounter with the SAW.
its not too good to be a power weapon because the rocket is way more effective…so im happy as long as people are not given access to it for a large portion of the game…it was kinda weird seeing an automatic being so powerful, it reminded me of call of duty.
It’s the in-between of an AR and Shotgun, while keeping a cool LMG look.
It’s not too powerful since it is supposed to be a power weapon. If you were to compare it to other power weapons like the Sniper or Rockets, then it seems a bit underpowered.
From the sounds of it, it is the new noob weapon. 
I love the idea of a automatic power weapon, the SAW looks absolutely awesome.
I like the fact its the 1st lmg in halo so im prob gonna try to use it when i can 
It’s a power weapon, so it’s meant to be OP. Personally, I think it’s gonna be my favorite power weapon ever!
personally id love if the ar would kill like that just about a second and a half slower but i love the saw it looks amazing and just shreds hardcore!! the way a light machine gun should the way you load it is just -Yoink!- 
343 seem to have forgotten that the term ‘power weapon’ means that it shouldn’t spawn all that often. I watched a gameplay on haven and the guy got about 5 SAWs that game and was just annihilating people from close and mid range. It is ridiculously overpowered and seems to be available too often.
It needs a serious nerfing. Just to limit its range and maybe clip size. Then it would be okay i think…
why nerf it when that may not have been the final build i know the one at the euro game expo that build was a month old… it probably wont appear as much in the final build they probably just wanted people to get a chance to really experience the weapon? You know? but if it is op in the final build i think a slight nerf would be good.
If I could use this weapon as a starting loadout weapon, I would never use another weapon again. LMGs for Life<3

<3 it

Agreed, but it is worth bringing these points up, otherwise we might end up with an unbalanced game. I’m just going by what I saw in vids, and it was owning everything else lol.
But you’re right I should wait a while yet…

either way its just a point and spray weapon. Now just less useless, but still boring. The grenade launcher was a real example of a good new halo weapon. Instead we get a mini spawn shotgun and a buffed AR.
So basically like with all elements of the sandbox in Halo 4 you have to play to the strengths of what you and your opponents have at your disposal.
Here is an example relating to the SAW.
Now this is something that you will never see done by your average player.
I noticed that the guy had a DMR, I had no precision weapons available, I quickly looked at the environment and player positioning (including my team behind me), saw something I could use to my advantage to turn the fight in my favor, and I came out on top.
It’s why the gun looks ridiculous in my gameplays, it absolutely can be, but I got killed by it maybe once in all of my time with the game.
Everything in Halo 4 is deadly under certain circumstances and you need to play accordingly, it makes for an incredibly fun game and ads so much depth!
