I’ve just started foruming on waypoint three days ago and every few hours a new thread pops up asking for something to be nerfed and I’ve tried to compile them all in a nutshell:
The DMR needs to be nerfed because it is slightly more powerful than the BR. The DMR is claimed to be very accurate and “too” effective on long range battles. Some people even claim that they have been killed in close quarter confrontations.
The AR needs to be nerfed because of its strength in close quarter battles are almost unsurpassed (with of course the exception of the suppressor). Players using DMRs and Light Rifles are rendered useless when a noob with an AR sneaks behind them and uses their spray and pray tactics.
The Boltshot needs to be nerfed because it replicates the effect of a shotgun. And as you may know if you time your shotgun properly you can seriously damage your foe. Maybe even kill him. In. ONE. Shot. The Boltshot is also well know for it’s wall of effect which if you step within this wall which is approximately 1 foot thick you can die. Nerfing this gun should be 343is TOP priority.
The Mantis needs to be nerfed because it is just TOO damn powerful. (When it is far away from you) It is equipped with a slow machine gun and some sort of rocket launcher. I couldn’t even kill it when I stuck it with a plasma grenade. This vehicle is cheap and does not deserve to be in Halos most prestigious map.
The BR needs to be nerfed because it is a burst rifle which is NOT fair for those using single shot rifles. Especially in SWAT where the maps are slightly smaller and you don’t have ANY armor.
I am trying to summarize as many complaints as I can but these are all that I can remember. Almost every primary weapon needs a nerf, I mean like what the hell?! Was 343 on drugs or something when they made this game?
no, if anything we should buff the br and the carbine. this is first halo game where most of the guns serve their intended purpose. nerfing anything at this point would be a bad move
I don’t know why everyone thinks the Mantis is over powered, especially with everyone being able to spawn in with a plasma pistol. It’s like two story building, when you see it coming you don’t go running at it head on. durrrr
> no, if anything we should buff the br and the carbine. this is first halo game where most of the guns serve their intended purpose. nerfing anything at this point would be a bad move
…Just the Carbine. And just for a one shot faster kill IMO. The BR has enough “outside the box” perks and is forgiving enough to make it worth being technically inferior than the DMR in perfect hands. And nobody has perfect hands, although I may have a pair of Magic Hands (medals). :3
> Anyone who thinks the AR needs a nerf should have their head examined. It gets completely owned by the BR and DMR at close range.

> And the AR is most definately not noob-friendly. Noobs like to use the BR and DMR because they’re actually effective.
Noobs (and newbs) use lots of stuff. It’s how ineffectual they are with it all, from 5shotting with a DMR to the ironically named noob combo that lets you tell them.

If every Primary Weapon is “OP”, then no Primary Weapon is “OP” because that means they’re all on par with one another. Logic always wins over crying whiners.
WHY ON EARTH WOULD ANYONE NERF THE AR??? I use the AR/Storm Rifle along with a Covenant Carbine and there is no way that the AR should be nerfed. It should be an up close advantage having a FULLY AUTOMATIC WEAPON that DOESN’T HAVE ANY RANGE. Sometimes people amaze me. I use the Storm Rifle on a regular basis as well and its just the same. Nerf the DMR and Boltshot, not the AR, it is just fine.

I don’t get why people want the AR to be nerfed, the killtime is already pretty slow so in a 1v1 the BR or DMR will easily beat the AR if they both start shooting at the same time.
The DMR needs a nerf badly. Decreased RoF, less bulletmagnetism and less autoaim.
I did some hitbox testing today and it was amazing how easily you can headshot with the DMR. I stood on the hill in the midle of valhalla while my friend stood infront of the blue base on the pile of rocks. And I could headshot him with the reticle waaay above his head, the outer circle didn’t even touch his head and it was a headshot! It’s just ridiculous.
Those who doubt this should go and try it out.
I have been won by a player using DMR in close quarters while I had the supressor equipped (not op at all whistles) and I have won several snipers in long range engagements. What they need to do to balance that gun is to get rid off the autoaimbot that gun has, I nor anyone else even needs to aim the gun at all in medium range because the aimbot does all your job for you, it is a competition of who pulls the trigger faster. Also it fires a 0.0001 seconds slower than the BR and has same DMR than BR if all three shots hit or then it has higher DMG than BR, higher accuracy, clip size is bigger and it has almost none recoil and RoF is almost the same.
So aimbot away so you need to aim and when the games lag, that autoaim makes sure it does not affect you like with other guns and then make it´s RoF slower so it acts more like a medium rifle.
I love how he calls the AR a noob weapon when i can dominate solo 3 people with it i defo say taking 3 people head on coming out with shields just intact proves good players can use it
