Do you guys think or know if you will be able to use the UNSC sniper the beam rifle and binary rifle in team snipers? i think you should be able to, it would change things up a bit. what do you guys think?
Beam / UNSC, maybe. Binary, no.
i can see the beam rifle being used but im not to sure about the binary rifle since it being a 1-shot anywhere weapon everyone would probably just spawn with that
no BiRi that would be the dumbest thing ever
I would be cool if you spawned with a Sniper Rifle, could call in a Beam Rifle with Ordinance Drops, and had to pick up the Binary Rifle off the map.
No more Magnums or Grenades though, and Melee Damage should be set to 0%, I think Assassinations should still be possible though.
Agree with the comments above regarding the Binary Rifle.
Also Beam Rifle starts would be great.
i didnt think of that… that could actually work.
I think that you should spawn with a sniper and a beam rifle and the binary rifle should be a power weapon because it does a 1 shot kill anywhere on the body.
I’d make the BeRi and SnRi loadout weapons, maybe Hologram as the only AA, maybe 0, and then put a BiRi somewhere in the open and middle.
Have 4 loadouts, 2 with the BeRi and Boltshot or Magnum. Repeat with the SniRi.
Or
Have SniRi with either Boltshot or Magnum only starts, place BeRi’s around the map in some nice control points, then still place a BiRi in the open and middle.
sniper rifle-yes
beam rifle-yes
binary rifle-HELL NO
The Beam Rifle would work as a starter weapon just like the UNSC Sniper Rifle. The Binary Rifle, though, would have to be an ordinance drop or something. It’s too powerful to be a spawn weapon even in a game type based around power weapon use.
Either:
Team snipers(sniper rifle starts)
Team beams(beam rifle starts)
Team binaries wouldn’t work because it’s one hit kill
you can find beam rifle/sniper rifle (depending on variant) at full ammo around the map alot but not everywhere 5 to 10 on map,depending on map size.Binary rifle with 2 rounds or just 2 shots and there are only 1 or 2 or even 3 binary rifles on map,depending on map size.
Melee damage is the same takes down whole energy shield
Bleed through is on
Assassinations are on/allowed -one hit kill to the back via melee
Headshots and body shots are both on
Time limit 10-12 minutes
Score limit 50 kills
Betrayals on
I say 1 BiRi spawns at each initial spawn of the teams at the beginning of the game.
> sniper rifle-yes
> beam rifle-yes
> binary rifle-HELL NO
This.
BiRi isn’t even solely a sniper weapon. It seems as if it fits somewhere between sniper weapon, and power weapon, more on-par with the Splaser. It really shouldn’t be a start. That would be like starting with Splasers. (Not a perfect analogy, I know… but it’s still relevant).
Binary Rifle should NOT be in Team Snipers, IMO. I feel like there should be two loadouts available for you to choose in Team Snipers. One with the UNSC Sniper Rifle and One with the Beam Rifle. I’ve always been way more comfortable with the Beam Rifle so I’d really appreciate the ability to choose it in Team Snipers. I mean it is Team SNIPERS (not Team UNSC Snipers) lol.
And please no Pistols/Secondaries at all. Too many times I’ve run into a Team Snipers game only to have it turn into a Team Pistols game b.c. of it being on a tight/small map or w.e. other reason. Again I stress SNIPERS, not Snipers w. Pistols lol.
I understand the Binary Rifle is a Sniper Rifle but I don’t think a one shot kill to ANY part of your body type Sniper Rifle is fair. I don’t care if it has lasers pointing out it’s location, has a gigantic un-zoomed reticle, or anything else to be ‘balanced’. I don’t think it should be in Team Snipers. Quickscoping and getting a body shot is super easy, for me at least (compared to a QS headshot), and a gun that gives me a kill for a body shot doesn’t sound fair.
Personally, I feel that a new variant of Team Snipers where there is a single Binary Rifle placed in the center of the map that both teams would fight over would be interesting. It would promote a whole new level of tactics and strategy, and would promote map movement. Do you want to risk fighting your way to the Binary Rifle, or wait back and cover teammates making their way toward it? This could a whole new intense twist on Team Snipers.
Lmao, ROlling with the one shot BiRifle in T.S? Fat chance. Should just be S.R and the Beam.

Interesting idea. I like the no magnums/grenades/melee damage and the Binary Rifle as a Power Weapon in the center of the map. And definitely agree Assassinations should still be an option. The only thing I don’t agree with is having Beam Rifle only for Ordnance Drops. I am more comfortable with the Beam Rifle and would rather see it as one of the two loadouts, UNSC Sniper Rifle being the other.
