seriously, the automatic weapons in this game are ridiculous. I had one guy shooting an AR at me from across the map and it was actually damaging me. WTF? I can’t walk into hallways anymore or any compacted areas which is what this game pretty much forces me to do with maps like adrift and abandoned. it’s significantly MORE difficult to 1v1 an AR with a dmr or br. the power on the automatic weapons need to be decreased.
I think 343 just took Reach and nerfed everything that was over powered and overpowered everything that was nerfed then took the DMR and overpowered it twice.
Game stinks.
Automatic weapons are fine. They’re perfectly balanced and fit their niche.
No way. I like that they are useful for once you can still beat them up close with the BR/DMR you just have to be accurate. Not to mention it makes the game more challenging. Reach was ridiculous, unless they had a DMR anybody stuck spawning with an AR was an easy kill now they actually pose a threat
Yeah it’s all op.
We all know assault weapons can’t fire over 50 feet much less 50 yards.
They are fine.
They can hit you but they are hard pressed to Actualy kill you.
Also what map?
Newsflash guys, the AR has always been my favorite to carry as a main gun in any of the Halo games because of its versatility. You can hold the trigger down when you need tyo chop a crowd up close and personal, or you can tap the trigger and hit stuff completely across the maps with it. You think this is something that JUST started to happen in Halo 4? Pop in your old weather beaten copy of Halo CE and give it a try.
The only difference between the AR’s now if smaller magazine size and capacity, which by the way applies to Every weapon in the Halo series, the clip size keeps getting smaller and smaller. Rumor has it that by the time halo 5 comes out the spartans will be back to using one shot muskets that you have to run all the way back to the spawn point to get a reload for because 343 understands thats what all the players really want.

LOL? you must be joking…
The AR is finally useful again. It’s been 10 years since that has happened. Please do not take that away.
the AR is a -Yoinking!- piece of -Yoink- and needs to be depowered. and the spawn killing wont happen in this game because of the ability to spawn on the other teams base AND join in game progress. so that excuse wont work. the map was ragnok aka Valhalla, and I didn’t say the dude killed me, I just said he shot me from across the map while I was crouched and it actually was doing damage. I obviously moved but it was shocking. seriously you guys that are saying the AR is actually good just don’t know how to use a dmr or a br. its ridiculously powerful.
LMAO Are you guys getting sniped across the map with ARs or something? Back up. Pick your shots, don’t go bum rushing with a DMR and not expect to be outgunned by an assault rifle. Everything outguns AR at medium-long range. AR outguns hardly anything at all.
yeah but the thing is most maps encourage close range combat like adrift for example with all the -Yoinking!- hall ways, so when you get some scrub one shot and he runs into a hall way he’ll either A. toss a nade, or B. camp behind some wall and lure you in it than fight you with his AR.
no they aren’t.
I dedicated today to the automatic weapons and I went negative as hell.
> seriously you guys that are saying the AR is actually good just don’t know how to use a dmr or a br. its ridiculously powerful.
Uh either you just contradicted yourself or you need to work on your wording just a tad bit.
By good I meant acceptable.
> A. toss a nade, or B. camp behind some wall and lure you in it than fight you with his AR.
You forgot the most likely option; C. Enemy will camp around the corner, crouched, with a boltshot, and one-shot you with a secondary with longer range than a shotgun.

Acceptable? I thought the whole point of this thread was that the AR was ridiculously OP and needs to be nerfed for it’s all-mighty sniping abilities.

Boltshot has the same range as the Shotgun. Shorter range then the Scattershot.
they do need to be nerfed, what I said was ppl that think it is acceptable just don’t know how to use a BR or DMR. and LOL yeah I forgot C. camp + boltshot
i remember back in the good old halo 3 days when i could beat any ar with the BR well lets just say in 4 if you wanna win use the OP AR
