I, like many of you, am SO tired of the new sniper rifle(DMR), the secondary shotgun (Boltshot), and kamikaze plasma stickies. Vehicles last MILLISECONDS before obliterating, respawning is way too fast, and overall power weapons dominate the game.
WIll ANY of these be buffed or nerfed?
Its relentless. I get so frustrated because skill ( for lack of a better term ) doesnt seem to factor in quite as much. This “Update” better fix a TON of stuff, not little rocks on the map or slight armor features.
I swear 343i, if no changes are made, I will go Liam Neeson on you ALL >:(
You can play team throwdown, there won’t be a boltshot in it.
I doubt it. I’m in the exact same boat as you, I can’t even play the game for longer than an hour because of how frustrating this stuff gets.
I really think they are going to break it beyond belief.
The game’s pacing and range of weapons were made to suit this game. Changing it now will only ruin a lot of the game’s flow.
Any changes they make will be like “woo hoo!” from the community then they will complain about something else and majority will leave the game then.
Every game will have an overpowered gun. Face it folks. Nerf this, then that will be “the gun”.
Get over it.

Remove the DMR. What is the new best weapon?
The Lightrifle, Carbine, and BR are well balanced with each other.

Implying killing people from a mile away before they can even run from rock to rock promotes game flow.

343 understood that, which is why it’s taken almost 4 months to put it together and it’s still not done. They want to make sure everything works well, isn’t just making other weapons unbalanced and all that. So I believe that they’ll release the TU, fix a load of problems and still keep the flow of the game.

Well you better get training than 
As for know the only info we have is that Kiki Wolfkill acknowledges that the Boltshot is OP. But we don’t even know if it will be nerfed with the upcoming TU.
No , Halo is now a casual’s paradise the good halo is dead it died with Halo 3 .
I’d like to see 343 remove PP/Boltshot from loadouts, as well as stickies, and make them all map pick ups.
PP, makes BTB vehicles pointless
Boltshot, too powerful, 1sk weapon
Stickies, make CQC stupid since everybody who is dead to rights just spams stickies en route to a kill from the grave
But when I look up at this list I realize … it leaves the magnum. And then what would the point in loadouts be? 343 bragged so much about loadouts when Halo 4 was being developed … I can’t see them doing much about the above, other then nerfing the boltshot.
Which means the TU probably won’t have much of an effect at all. Maybe Camo won’t last as long anymore, or maps like Ragnarok/Exile will come up less often in BTB? Maybe they’ll slow the DMR’s rate of fire?
The only thing I would like to see is a regular FFA/ Rumble Pit. Once they do that I will have no reason to play any other gametype. Regicide is just funny and cheap. I can’t believe that got passed as a gametype. Keep it as Team though. I wouldn’t play it but that’s one good thing I can say about Regicide.
Reduce the rate of fire. That’s it. It will still be king of long range, which was its intent, but make it weak short range, which is the other rifles intent.
