the reason i prefer the ar is that it is more specialised.
i prefer it when guns exel at a certain range but hav problems at other ranges.
examples
the ar- decent mag size and fire rate, decent damage.
the downside is that it does not have a very high range.
the sniper. high damage, insane range. low clip size, ineffective at close range.
shotgun- high damage, medium clip size, fairly accurate. slow reload speed, very low range.
splaser- insane damage, insane range, very accurate. takes time to fire, very low ammo.
needler- good range, very powerful overcombine, fast reload. innefective at long as shots can be dodged, ineffective at lose range as needles cannot track.
brute shot- fairly high damage, can flip vehicles, enables shot jumping. slow bullets, low clip size.
spiker- high mag size, dual weildable. slow bullets mediocre damage.
smg- high mag, fast shooting, dual wieldable. low range low damage, drifts upwards
mauler- high damage, dual wieldable. low mag size, low range
plasma pistol- overcharge, stuns vehicles, dual wieldable. low health damage, hard to fire rapidly.
plasma rifle- high charge, high fire rate, high shield damage, dual wieldable. low health damage, fast overheat.
magnum- medium clip, medium fire rate, headshot weapon.
very low power compared to other weapons.
beam rifle- high damage, high range, lack of reloading.
low fire rate due to insane heat buildup, low ammo count.
carbine- good range, good fire rate, medium reload speed.
medioctre damage, occasionally a shot will land nowhere near where it is supposed to.
missile pod- high damage, lock on to vehicles. ineffective against infantry.
mg turret. high damage, high ammo.
slows, innacurate, spin-up delay.
hammer- high damage aoe damage.
low range
sword- high damage, lunge.
low range.
these are the weapons that i have seen in MM other than the BR.
as you can see, they all have advantages and disadvantages.
now i shall analyse the br in the sam way.
BR-scoped, medium damage, large clip, accurate, 4 shot capability, effective at all ranges.
none.
can you see that it has no real disadvantags in this system. this means that it can beat any weapon. that is precisely what i hate about it. it can be used in any situation and causes people to rush towards it rather than other weapons. ii would prefer a system where every un had a disadvantage.
there is no real counterpart to it so it is invariably used in any situation rather than a gun specialised fo that situation.
owing to this effectiveness, it has spawned a culture of overly serious, BR crazy "pros" who forget that games are for fun and accuse people who are not a 50 or use any gun other than the Br for being "N00B5 AnD sh0uld n0t play hal0"
thats exactly what makes the br overpowered. its a power weapon with basic weapon spawns. it removes any skill that comes from handling situations and from counter attacking. atleast the other weapons have a balance.
and because of this, i have never played a halo game the way it was designed to be played. (with a veriety of weapons.)
all i ever see is BR BR BR! its demoralizing, i miss the warthog barreling over people while rockets chase them, and SMGs firing consistently, while a banshe zooms past. i miss plasma weapons. i miss personality.
