This old beta thread shows us exactly what problems the MA37 has.
It is too weak with a too low rate of fire.
The current number of rounds to kill is 18-20. That, along with the slow ROF and new melee system, makes the AR an unviable choice for CQB (Close Quarters Battle- meaning short range). You'd be better off meleeing with the DMR and getting the insta-kill headshot.
This can be remedied somewhat, by increasing the damage of each single round, putting it at 16 to kill. That way the AR could get 2 perfect kills without reloading, which never happens anyway, but would help increase it's offensive power and balance it with other weapons. It would still be the underdog, but skilled players who know how to burst fire, and feather the AR would once again feel like god's own anti-SOBs.
EDIT: It already kills with 18 rounds- and it feels like it shoots hot popcorn. If it gets upgraded to 16 rounds to kill it would be perfect.
The AR ALWAYS MISSES AT LEAST ONE BULLET. So it would be very hard to kill 2 guys, and if someone does that, they damn well deserve it (Since they would have to hit each and every round).
By putting it down to 16, you would just upgrade the effectiveness of bursts, rewarding skill with an iconic Halo weapon.
Even in campaign on higher dificulties it is very weak.
Do you agree with this change?
wouldnt that make it basicly an automatic br?
