Weapon tuning

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

For over a year now they’ve had posts about the weapons being OP and causing the game to be more of a twitch shooter, making less about gunskill and more about reaction time, aka not halo, but they would quickly be shot down by saying the game is finally balanced… Here almost 2 years later we have 343 releasing a patch nerfing 14 weapons… LOL

Making ever single gun extremely powerful is not the way to “balance” a sandbox, 2 years later they finally realize

I don’t check the pins enough unfortunately. Not in the habit.

Generally the second I load up Halo 5 Forum my actions go like this:

  • ignore stickies (usually nothing interesting)
  • check notifications to see whos quoted my comments and argued with me over something we both agree on
  • laugh
  • scroll through the forum thread titles
  • spot yet another complaint about sprint
  • laugh again
  • click into the 5,000th thread where the person thinks they’re a game dev better than 343 and wrote up a 4,000 word essay on what they think will be a great addition to Halo 5 (2 years after the games release)
  • laugh hysterically
  • leave a comment on an anti-banshee thread telling people to git gud.
  • Back to writing my report on corporate social responsibility in the banking industry.

I’ll add “check stickies” to my list from now on haaaaha
