They should have the regular carbine from halo 3 instead of this crap. It is really rare for someone to get kills with it unless the opponent is oblivious to where you are at and that is pretty much it. You cannot go toe to toe with someone with it, if you do, you are dead, period. I tested this in training and went up against a bot that was using it and completely missed shot after shot. I shot bots with it when they are not looking and manage to get a kill.
The closes thing you can get with the thing is a shield down and that’s it. Like I said before, I rarely see people killing someone with it, hell not even using it. They should just either remove it completely, change it to a plasma rifle, or just buff it. Other then that, it’s pointless using it.
Yeah, it’s by far the worst weapon I’ve seen in Halo ever. Honestly, most weapon suck balls. Almost everything we knew and love is gone, replaced by hot turds.
That’s 343i for you! If they’d be in plumbering, you’d call them to fix a broken toilet an you’d end up with a trashed living room with a busted wall that gives right outside!
The Hydra works fine. I’ve had a lot of success with it.
I’d also argue the Needler works as well.
But yeah, the Pulse Carbine is extremely disappointing. I don’t necessarily want them to bring back the old Carbine, considering both the Sidekick AND Commando do pretty much the same thing it did. But they need to rework the Pulse Carbine completely. It should honestly drop the tracking in exchange for faster projectiles.
I agree. Unless the shots have a homing capability like the needler, I really dont see how it can compete with an AR or a BR. Definitely doesn’t fit well in the sandbox as it sits currently.
Sounds right. Sad to see many guns who worked right in the older Halo games and to have that kind of unbalance and pointless changes now (why remove the plasma gun EMP effect?).
Ummm I’m pretty beast with the Pulse Carbine. I do still wish they had the original Carbine as well. Now the weapon I think is awful is the mangler. I can not for the sake of things even hit an enemy with that thing.
They should either rework the pulse carbine to be more like the plasma rifle or just replace it entirely since the stalker rifle is basically a carbine with a 10x scope
The needler is strong, I just think that 343i cluttered map design is why some are having issues with it. Other than that I agree with this list. Throw Hydra in trash tier.
The Pulse Carbine tries to solve a problem that doesn’t exist by filling a niche that nobody understands.
Honestly, it feels like it was designed for BTB where extended range is everywhere. We need weapons like the Storm Rifle or the Covenant Carbine in its place for smaller maps.
I’m yet to really work the Pulse Carbine out… the only situations I’ve found it effective in… it’s beaten soundly by the AR or Sidekick… which doesn’t bode well.
I don’t understand the Ravager hate… the standard shots is two hit kill and the alternate fire is incredible for area of denial. Don’t even get me started on it’s usefulness against vehicles.
