(Forgive possible mistakes in my grammar, i’m not a native english speaker)

So, IF 343 dosen’t introduce a completely new weapon, we have to assume we are going to use either the BR, the DMR or (unlikely) the pistol. Assuming they are at their best so far (explanation below), what do you want as a starting weapon for a competitive game mode based only on their actual merits?

BR:
H2 spread, possibly a bit tighter
H3 aim assist
H2/3 reticle
no magnetism
2x scope
4-shot based on H2 killtimes

  • it rewards staying on target
  • 3 shot burst dosen’t punish you for missing as much as semi-automatic
  • headshot while shield are down are way easier

DMR:
H:Reach aim assist, possibly a bit less
no bloom
no magnetism
2x scope
4-shot based on H:Reach killtimes

  • rewards accurate players and most importantly punishes more who misses

Pistol:
As it was on CE

  • rewards accurate players and most importantly punishes more who misses
  • Cover less of the screen
  • Hard time fitting into the current sandbox

I personally think that this particular interpretation of the DMR would be the best choice.

If the final burst required 2/3rds of the bullet to hit for a headshot I would probably prefer the BR.

Otherwise, DMR / Halo CE Mag.

I’m pro-load outs so the closest thing I want to a utility weapon is a medium range rifle but I suppose it can pretty much be the same thing.

My answer is Battle rifle.

br seems to be getting a lot of good attention. i also agree with that decision as it has been my all time favorite Unsc utility weapon
