Wow, I actually had fun with the new balance!

Games Other Halo
1

Other than the fact that the storm rifle and suppressor still suck pretty hard, I find that I can do equally well in any match using the DMR, BR, Carbine, Light Rifle, and AR. I no longer feel handicapped for not using the DMR. It’s pretty cool.

I just wish the autoaim was adjusted on the rifles as well. We all know there is too much bullet magnetism (especially on the DMR). If we tone that down, we might actually have some real balance in this game.

Edit: Okay yeah, I got a huge dose of the placebo effect. Go ahead, laugh at my idiocy.

When I read the update on ign, I thought it said the update came out on 4/17 (rather than just being a blog update about the update), and I swear my Light Rifle was zoomed in way more than normal and I was 4sk with the BR.

In retrospect, I was just getting lucky to find matches where the DMR didn’t dominate. After playing a few more matches today (while much more alert) I realize that it is the same old broken weapon.

I don’t think the updates have been implemented yet…

read the bulletin. They were “letting us behind the curtain.” The weapon balancing isn’t even finished let alone implemented. We don’t even know if anything they said will even be similar to the final product.

They said it was being implemented with the MM update on MONDAY … i.e. April 22nd
I actually tested BR, LR, and Carbine in customs with a guest today and they were the same as always.
but have fun with your “update” lol

This reminds me of those “blind test” commercials where they try two different samples of something. The brand of the 1st is known, the 2nd is not visible.

“Oh I like the 2nd one better.”

…and they’re the same brand.

No, the changes are not live yet, you have been sampling the same brand of Halo 4 good sir.

You are also incorrect. They have yet to announce when the update for the weapons will occur.

Placebo effect.

> Placebo effect.

My thoughts exactly. This is why i get worried when people judge weapons because some will think that a weapon has been changed and “notice” a difference.

The auto aim is annoying it keeps messing with where I’m trying to shoot.

First off the update was NOT implemented yet. And second of all THE STORM RIFLE AND SUPPRESSOR DO NOT SUCK PRETTY HARD! I used them plenty of times and they’re really effective at close range especially the Suppressor.

15

This thread is hilarious. But yeah, the updates do look promising. If only they would add a visible rank.

16

This speaks to how ignorant the community is to ANYTHING in the game. This is why any and all changes should always be put through the competitive community first, as we actually understand game mechanics etc.

god this makes me so sad this thread

it’s silly to project the actions of a single individual onto an entire group.

You guys seem to be easily trolled. At least I hope that is what the OP is doing…

I wouldnt say he’s projecting that single persons actions on any group, rather excluding a wide group of “non-competitive.” Can’t say I fully disagree.
Either way, his point still stands, changes should be tested by players that are intimately familiar with general mechanics and what not. But many “non-competitive” players are up to speed on many of the ins and outs of the game, would also suffice.

He is Bravo guys…Move along…
