The Cobalt Colonel, Anthony Apocalypse.

Am I crazy or do several of the weapons feel less powerful than they used to? I know this game has a strange coding system & terrible lag, but I've been playing for a long time & this is the first time I've come back to the ole mistress and felt like somethin's a bit off. Namely the Assualt rifle & the submachine gun..I know they're both very weak as it is, but have any of you noticed them being even weaker?

Blah blah blah, there was a bio here. Yadda yadda casual gamer, yadda yadda hate messages yadda yadda tea kettle yadda yadda english and everything with those tea and scones make me sound like Alan Rickman.

the guns do feel underpowered compared to other games but take into interest that there are energy shields.

other games such as the CoD franchise make games where guns can be a 1 hit kill or a 4 hit kill.

bungie tried their best to balance the game. the smg and assault rifle havent been weakened, its normally the melee that gets the quick kill.

Im not talking about compaired to other games, believe me, I know if you compair halo to cods weapons, well there isnt a compairison. I mean in general, not even compaired to reach....just in Halo 3, the guns feel weaker than they used to..

it could be the way people play. like i said previously the melee is the main damage dealt when used with the AR or SMG. People have learned to move/jump a lot when getting shot and to be honest, the accuracy of those guns arent exactly pinpoint lol.
I do seem to find that the AR and SMG are left behind and swapped for BRs and Snipers. Thats why I like using Spiker/SMG combo :)

Onyx pre-season! That's all that matters.

Not going to lie, since Halo 2 many "little kids" that complained about some guns being overpowered whined to Bungie and Bungie listened to "The Community" so they nerf'd quite a few. Since then the "little kids" continued and we are at where we are now.

For example, the Halo: Combat Evolved Warthog took 6 shots to kill a Spartan and the Halo 3 Warthog takes 12+ (12 if all headshots).

But I mean NOW. I know they were never good weapons since the game was launched, but at best they were usable....I'm talkin within just the past week or so, did bungie impliment another "update" of sorts....nerfing these guns...?

No, just more shenanigans are happening in Halo 3 since Bungie is focused on getting the Halo: Reach servers operational.

Adapt or move on. Simple as that.


There's no need for a discussion about it.

He wasn't complaining like most people do, he was just asking if there was a reason behind them feeling weaker.

Alright well, I knew the thread would eventually go to s*** like they all do thanks to fools like typh butting in where theyre not welcome. So thanks to anyone who gave legitimate imput. Don't bother even trying to explain anything to him Exodia, he's probably just trying to get everyone riled up. So thanks & bye bye!
