Week 3 Tweaking is Absolute Garbage!

Here is my interpretation of 343 Industries patch notes for the Week 3 development build of the Halo 5: Guardians Arena Multiplayer Beta…

  • Buffed the Assault Rifle so that the SMG (SAW) is rendered useless at mid-range AND close-range
  • Buffed the Battle Rifle in damage AND accuracy so that three burst kills are now common-place
  • Nerfed the SMG because f**k you, that’s why
  • Removed the Magnum from starts so that purists can spend my final week of this beta figuring out the Battle Rifle is kill, when they could’ve just as easily listened to us from week two
  • Increased the lunge factor on the Prophet’s Bane by 50%
  • Narrowed the sprint f.o.v. so that the player feels more restrained when strafing or moving backwards
  • F**ked with the controller sensitivity presets for no reason
    When the teacher says “Go with your first instinct”, this is what they mean.
    Notice how everyone was actually enjoying the first week of the beta, because the weapons were balanced and the mechanics were determined by the pro players. Just give me the Week One Development Build as a full game, and you’ll at least get a 8/10 review.

343 doesn’t know how to stop changing things…

This 343…read this…

Is this a troll topic?

i agree the first week was incredible to me, ever since then its been wth?! also is it just me or does triggering sprint now actually delayed?

The problem is they listened to all of you idiots crying on the forums. Now those same people are crying about the fact they changed it.

Moral of the story: Halo fans are to blame for ruining the halo franchise, because the developers don’t know how to -Yoinking!- please you.

im curious as to what they changed based on what people cried about?

343i has already failed at carrying the torch because they are attempting to chase down fans. Not our problem.

Can I get a link of the changes? The bulletin only mentions the new map and game mode.

whoa whoa whoa… Did they really buff/nerf some of the weapons or did player health get changed? Either way if 3 shot BR is happening now then they have really -Yoinked!- up. The weapon balance was perfect before. They just needed to revert back to AR starts and this game would so much more fun to play again.

none of them changes have happened lol except br/ar starts…try harder OP
