Weapon "Balance"

Games Halo 5: Guardians

DISCLAIMER: THESE ARE MY OPINIONS, DONT KILL ME
What makes a game balanced is different from person to person, but I think a widely agreed upon concept is that weapons of greater power should be more skill-demanding to use. That’s perfect balance in my eyes, but I see one problem: Halo 5 seems to have the opposite.

For example, the Battle Rifle is superior in every way to the Magnum, but is much more forgiving in shot registration and aim-assist.

This is just one of the major flaws I see with Halo 5. I really want to like this game, but it’s hard to with things like this and aiming.

the problem with those is that each one has its power in its own way assault rifle can beat an BR from a certain range. SMG is best up close, DMR is great from a distance, but the Magnum has always been a confusing one for me. It can do the stuff of all the other stuff, but at a lower level at times. If it was not for the Burst able to take out someone with low shields. If it was not for that fact, the Magnum would be in about the same range as assault rifle and BR
