If you want to rebalance things, go right ahead but please dont make it random.

Il never understand why you thought making the BR random was the way to fix it but by god it was a horrid idea. the narrows spawns are not fixed, theyre random. CQC in halo 3 is not casual or pick up and play or new user freindly, its random. Same goes for all those spray weapons youve made.

Please, you can make a casual pick up and play game that can also be played competitvely, hell you already have it was called halo combat evolved. If you dont make it random it can be as good as HCE and please everyone.

You most likely want it to be dynamic, not random.

Why would anyone want to play something that is not even under their control? It ceases to be interactive entertaimnet at that point.

Narrows spawns are random in the exact same way a sniper bounce amongst good players or a sniper headshot amongst terrible players is. There's no random variable in the determination, but player's just aren't good enough to know what is going to happen.

you mean theres no way to know unless you sit there with a computer and figure it out. To the naked eye it might aswell be completly random.

Sure if you want to argue semantics nothing in a game is random because it was desinged. But you could also argue that about Rl aswell."Random" is all relative but I feel astho in this case it is called for.

So how do you suggest that Bungie balances weapons so that they only work best at a certain range without randomizing the bullet trajectories?

a consistent 5 shot BR would do wonders. eventho I hate this idea of halo turning into everyother FPS with one dimensional weapons. HCE was great because weapons were mulit faceted and could work in all kinds of situations. It made the game very dynamic.

Maybe instead of trying to balance the game by nerfing the BR and making it only mid range they could return some of the usefulness to other weapons in the game.
