Halo 3 was halo’s last most popular game, we will see how halo 5 holds up in the future. I am a good player but grow tired of games that rely on accuaracy. I guess this is why I Iike gears of war so much, the shot gun battles rely less on accuaracy and more on movement and tactical awareness which halo 3 had.
AR used to be my favourite weapon in halo 3 as a starting weapon. It rewarded creativity. It says alot now that I swap out my AR for a BR and use the pistol as my weapon of choice for close range battles in warzone/Arena because the AR just cant keep up and the pistol gives the BR a run for its money too which is not a bad thing, but theyre similar weapons and I would like some variety. All I know is, I am sick of having to rely on bloody headshots.
I JUST WANT TO SHOOT PEOPLE and not have to rely on total accuaracy and would like to focus more on movement, melee, and grenade throws to outwit my opponent. Halo 3 was the most popular because of this fact. If you wanted to fight back with precision, you had to find that weapon, and even then, the Assault rifle could still keep up with the BR because it was harder to dodge AR close up due to limited movement while on halo 5 you can move alot quicker making it harder for AR but not the BR, as you can time your BR shots.
You could say sprint, dodge, slide messes up this balance halo 3 once had and the only way to fix it is to increase the AR’s damage. It would feel like a new halo because of quick kill times at times but i see it as only way to keep up with pistol and BR and get that halo 3 feel back again.
Ummm I always use the AR for close range, and if the majority of the shots land I win.

yes but its harder to land all them shots against a skilled player due to unpredictable movement making it less effective than halo 3’s AR. it would be fine the way it is now if the pistol wasnt so good to use.
I found some success with the AR in CQC to make up for my lacking accuracy. Movement and tactics have won me a few battles I probably should have lost.
The Halo 5 AR (And all the other automatics for that matter, especially the SMG) are more effective now then they have ever been in the series history, so not quite sure what kind of a point you are going for here.
Its actually really funny that you mention the Halo 3 AR, which a lot of people consider to be the least powerful incarnation of the weapon, myself included.
343 wanted to follow the trend of every other game developer and not release the full game yet.
forge, big team battle, oddball, infection, more than 5 multiplayer maps, and the list goes on.

Whe you compare AR’s, halo 3’s is the weakest, but im talking about the other factors. 343 knew the AR needed to be stronger to accommodate to a faster paced halo. I would be fine with how the AR is now if the pistol didnt take its place. If they want to keep the pistol the way it is now, then make the AR more effective even if its just like a few less bullets to kill, because its a very fine line that makes the pistol more effective.
i just want the classic game modes, and teams of 6 or 8. 4vs4 is great for competition but seriously, we’re not all mlg tryhards and frankly warzone is pretty unpolished.
