um since "balance" is a relevant term (in this case the BR's power relative to the power of other weapons) yes actually changing other weapons will balance or unbalance the BR. It would be alot more work to overhaul the entire game based on one weapon. If you want the game to be really competitive this would probably be the best option... but who said Halo needed to be highly competitive. I like the idea of having an MLG playlist with the current BR and having other playlists with the new more balanced one. Perhaps a custom game matchmaking system would be appropriate?
Um no it wouldn't be any work at all to change weapon traits pre release. It is as simple as changing a few values and maybe altering the reticule. I doubt it but I watched a modder at work in H2. Changing weapon traits took a minute. Then a week of testing by gamers...NOT their staff. Considering all of 1 of them even has a 50 in Halo.
Dude, right here, this is what is wrong with your views. You feel that someone that has a high MM rank has a more relevant opinion of the game and how it should function. Are you really so ignorant to realize that the high ranking people are going to want more of what makes it easier for them to achieve a high rank. The BR's popularity is based on it's utility and simplicity, and no balance is not realative in this situation.
If you look at every weapon, every weapon in the game (currently) you can clear identify limitations, each weapon has it's "sandbox" if you will. The BR does not, it can be used consistently and efficiently at all ranges aside from extreme short, or extreme long. This is a balance issue, plain and simple.
The game needs to be balanced by people who understand what balance actually is, not people who will do what they can to retain the rank that they want. Anyone with intelligence will agree that the "competitive gamer" is not part of the majority, same goes for the self-proclaimed "good" or "elite".
