WILL SMG REPLACE SAW?

Hey guys !

Recently, in Halo 5 MP Beta, we’ve seen a powerful SMG, stronger than other versions and stronger than AR. So we had two automatics UNSC weapons, and like in Halo 4, one of them was stronger.
So we could see two possibilities:

  1. SAW will be replaced by SMG. Bye SAW…
  2. SAW will be even stronger than SMG

What do you think men?

WTF is AAP? The SAW or AR?

They said SMG wasn’t in Halo 4, because of the SAW.

The smg definetly wasn’t stronger than the AR it just mowed down at close range as it should I think 343i needs to increase the spread and the recoil and the smg will be perfect. And sorry AAP?

Sorry I mean SAW!

Not even close. I can down at least 4 enemies outside of red reticle range with the SAW with very rapid yet controlled pulse firing. I can only down 2 enemies with an SMG and in the same time as the SAW mows down 4 and I need to scope in to ensure I get the same hit % as the SAW.

Oi! The saw then? Definitely not the saw was a monster of a power weapon the smg is massively outclassed.

SAW was over-powered and dumb. The H5 SMG was much more balanced.

The SAW was a power weapon (not starting weapon) and can kill people much faster than the SMG (h5’s SMG). If they have the SAW as a power weapon in this game, the kill time will be much faster than the SMG’s killtime at any distance

I hope the SAW returns. It wasn’t a very original concept, but it was sure fun to use!

I would love to see the SAW return as well as a power weapon. It was one of the few power weapons in my mind that was powerful, but you didn’t kill someone in a single shot like… well kind of all the other power weapons.

What if the saw is the legendary smg?

The SMG was definitely powerful but as thy ReaperMC said the Saw can mow down 4 people with it’s recticle while the SMG can only fire at two.

The SAW will definitely not be replaced by the SMG.

The weapon should come back, as well as the railgun, both weapons were welcome additions to the UNSC weapon box.

With that said, I don’t know if I would prefer the sticky detonator to come back or have it replaced with Halo reach’s grenade launcher… though both weapons would be great to have in the game!

100% would take pro pipe over sticky det.

It would be pretty ridiculously powerful, probably overpowered.

So I guess I wouldn’t mind seeing it come back but just…not in matchmaking.

I thought I was using the saw with all the autos in the beta.

I really loved the SAW in Halo 4 but it was clearly really really powerful. I don’t mind if it returned in campaign for Halo 5 but I don’t know how you would make it balanced and fair in Halo 5 multiplayer.

The SAW should replace the HMG as a fixed turret/support weapon. Its the only way I can think to balance its absurd firepower. It would also diversify the Support weapons by having the Plasma Cannon be slow firing and powerful while the SAW would have a high rate of fire but lower damage per shot making it somewhat of the ‘MG42’ to the Plasma cannon’s ‘Browning’. You could even keep the reload when detached(but still giving it a fixed number of magazines) to give it even more differences between the Plasma Cannon.

Otherwise the SAW is just to ridiculous.
