Oh yes, let's make the BR EVEN MORE powerful.
Hell, let's make it a one shot kill, fully automatic hit scan weapon.
The BR is the ONLY weapon that get's used in Multiplayer, and it's on every damn map, and completely dominates every other weapon. Don't say it doesn't, it does.
Did I say I wanted a fully automatic 1 shot kill hitscan weapon? No, I didn't. I would like the pistol from Halo CE back, but that probably won't happen.
Hyperbole is a logical fallacy, let's try to avoid that shall we?
The BR dominates every weapon? Really?
It dominates rockets? Negative
It dominates sniper? Negative
It dominates shotgun? Negative
It dominates sword? Negative
It dominates hammer? Negative
The only range that the BR "dominates" is medium range, it gets beaten at long range by sniper, medium range by rockets, carbine, and the AR even has a decent chance. At close range it gets destroyed by the AR, Plasma Rifle, Spiker, SMG, Hammer, Sword, and Mauler.
Yea, I can really see that it dominates, good point. It's really funny, because it doesn't even dominate at medium range. As I said, rockets will beat it every time, but weapons like the sniper, carbine, and even the AR have a good chance at beating it.
It doesn't dominate at medium range? Come on, at least be honest. It stops AR's in their track, destroys Spartan Lasers, and dual wielding is basically painting a huge target on you're face, while the Carbine doesn't have much ammo, and does less damage then the BR. The Sniper Rifle can stop the BR at long range, sure. Except, there's a pile of BR's on every map, and only a couple Sniper Rifles.
At close range, you'd think it would get it's ass handed to it, but no, it doesn't.
A single grenade, followed by a headshot kills anyone. But here's the best part; you get three bullets that spread out, so you can just "paint" the cross hairs over the targets head, and be guaranteed a kill. The same for a melee.
The Carbine has less ammo, takes more shots to kill, has a smaller clip, and usually has little ammo on the map.
I can't believe you even mention the Spiker, SMG, and Plasma Rifle. Dual wielding was nerfed.
Only a few weapons can stop a BR consistently; and even then only with specific circumstances. The Sniper Rifle at long range, the Spartan Laser at long range, the Shotgun/mauler/sword at point blank around a corner, and grenade spamming.
Yeah, I exaggerated in my original post, but the BR is still more powerful then the majority of the weapons in the game, and extremely abundant on most maps.
