I thought 343i made a good decision bringing back the SMG and making it close to medium range. Having a better balance than the saw but turns out it’s still in the game -.-. So noobish and OP i hate it. They should’ve brought back the plasma rifle instead to counter the SMG would’ve been a great throwback classic weapon and balanced
Because it’s a power weapon?
It is?
Ugh… what a terrible weapon. Zero fun and zero creativity. Bring back the Reach grenade launcher.

Pretty much this. It’s like the rocket launcher or sniper. It’s supposed to be OP.
I’ve personally always hated the Rocket Launcher. It has ridiculously noobish splash damage.
Why is the BR coming back?
see i can do this too.
Just because you dont like a weapon doesnt make it bad or that it’s going to work exactly like it did in a past title. A good example is the BR as it’s not the same going from H2 to H3 or in H4. The promethean weapons have changed drastically.
Pffft bullets are for noobs.
Its a power weapon its supposed to be op. The rocket launcher isn’t exactly the epitome of skill either.
Even if some weapons are unskilled you have to remember there is a campaign. Having a nice variety of guns is important to that.
it is nice big gun it go RATATATATATATATATATATA yes it is good time get many kill my k/d larger than my mortgage rate
In all due seriousness, there’s nothing wrong with the SAW. I used it in Warzone and it balances quite nicely.
What if we combined the RoF and ammo capacity of an SMG with the DpH and ranged spread deviation of an AR??? We’d get a fullauto powerweapon!!!
The SMG’s fullauto is for short ranged encounters. The AR’s fullauto is for mid ranged encounters. Pulsing and scoping can help extend range and/or keep a low kill time… But the SAW can handle its own with long ranged encounters with good stick thumb and a proper twitchy fire finger and it covers everything from CQB to mid range with the dominance some improperly claim the SMG has.
When you face my SAW, you won’t see the difference, it’ll be over too quickly.

Zero?
Fun?
The saw literally let’s me go Rambo in halo
I know the SAW is a power weapon but I dislike it so very much. It’s by far the most noobish weapon in Halo. I would like it to be removed as well. The power weapon for close range should be shotgun, that’s it.
I can’t believe they brought the energy sword back. It can kill in one slash it’s so OP and noobish.
/sarcasm

So is the rocket launcher and energy sword in terms of being op. They’re also close range, so the shotgun already isn’t the only close range weapon, not to mention that it isn’t even a power weapon.
They need to remove the rocket launcher as well, it’s such a noobish OP gun.

I don’t find it fun to use at all. It feels cheap… because it is.

This! I like the SAW. It’s fun to use. I wish EVERY weapon ever in Halo carried over to the next game. I hate when they give you a weapon in one game and then take it away in the next. Just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean they should take it away.

-Rocket launcher isn’t close range. If you shoot a rocket in close range, you risk betrayals and suicide. And it only has like 4 shots.
-Sniper takes skill to use masterfully. Obviously.
-Shotgun takes skill, as well, as you need to time your shots well (Well, at least in Halo 3. The new shotgun has obviously received a buff)
-Sword is pretty short range, allowing others to kill you easily in most scenarios, if they know what they’re doing. Still takes some skill.
-Spartan laser takes some pretty decent aiming and timing to be able to use it properly.
-Gravity hammer requires attention to timing and range, other wise you just let everybody know you have a gravity hammer.
-The SAW… Well, it’s literally just an OP Assault Rifle with no bloom and twice as much ammo. It’s pretty ridiculous and takes little to no thought to use compared to other power weapons.
We already have turrets; we don’t need an automatic rifle power weapon.
My opinion, of course.
It’s a fun weapon that looks good, sounds good, and feels good. That’s why it’s in the game.
Also, why are you comparing it to the SMG and Plasma Rifle? The SAW is definitely meant to be on a tier above those guns. Can’t really put it side by side with those other two.
On a slightly unrelated note: I’d like to see the comparison of kill times between the AR, SMG and SAW. But of course that data can’t really be obtained until we have the games for ourselves.
