Even though a lot of hardcore AND casual players all love precision weapons, I think I speak for most of us when I say Automatics have needed some justice served for them, and I think that’s exactly what I’ve seen in Halo 4 so far.
Ever since the BR was introduced, it became as if the only “good” weapons to use were precision, no one would ever pass up a BR/DMR for an automatic like the plasma rifle unless they REALLY knew how to use it. Even if they factually are the best weapons to use, do you guys feel sympathy for automatics? I think they really deserve the buffs they’re getting. keep it up, 343, and please dont screw this up
I think they’ll be really useful, actually. The AR is gonna be stronger, and there’s the SAW too, so I think autos will be a lot more useful. (I can’t wait to get my hands on the SAW!)
People who stick purely to PWs usually think they better then they really are. A good player knows how to be unexpected, so when you come around the corner expecting a DMR(BR) dual at close range and catch an AR to the face, its not that the player that killed you is a noob but better yet that player knew a better way to catch you off guard.
Yes and I see the SAW meeting alot of unexpected faces in the near future.
I would like the return of dual spikers and smgs to balance the precision weapons. There was nothing quite like the feeling of destroying someone using a br or sniper with them
Automatic weapons should definitely be useful and have a role to play in the sandbox, and they should be able to kill somebody without having to resort to a melee after taking out the other player’s shields.
Thankfully, that’s how Halo 4 seems to be turning out, so I’m happy!
i’m one of the few poeple who likes to use Reach’s AR, despite it’s underpowered nature
the AR in H4 looks useful, but i just hope that SOME skill is required to get a kill with it
because
A) it will become more powerful than PW’s (only slightly)
B) it gravely satisfies me when i get an AR kill in reach
