How bout they beef up all non power weapons to have about a one second kill time like in halo ce, because most weapons have a 2-2.5 sec avg kill time which is wayyy to long even for halo. Right now usually the only way I die is from team shotting or nades, and neither take much skill. I think the ar dmr and pistol should all be made much more powerful


That would make Halo Call of Duty in Space, and doesn't appeal to me at all. The point of this thread is that we need to give the MA37 a small buff for damage to bring it up to the point where people can actually use it effectively more of the time. I have had a few moments where I shredded the other team with an AR, but that was mostly me generating a bubble of luck and saving the day in BTB just after launch. Now, I wouldn't be able to pull that kind of thing because everyone now knows how to fire the DMR in CQC.

Side note: I take it you betray your teammates with the Shotgun, am I right Dick?

Edit: Grammar and spelling.


This.

And yes, it is preety good for a thread that's a bit over a month old :)

Lets keep trying.

ah what i meant t say before is i agree with the making the weapon's bloom slower to open, but say once you get over 5 shots it opens fully because that player is obviously just spraying. no damage increases would be really necessary if the player controlling it can used the short bursts to their advantage. I would also advocate for the clip to be a tad larger (NOT much, only like 2-6 shots larger)

I Retired Gears of War 2, Sold it to buy Halo 3. And I have not had this much fun playing Video Games in a long time :)
Now that Halo Reach is out. My life has never been better.
Thanks Bungie.

The AR is fine the way it is.

I hope they implement the change, but knowing Bungie, and seeing how they aren't responding to the complaints (valid or otherwise) thay might not give a damn.

But this is different from all the Bloom threads.

This is an easy to implement tweak, that can only be beneficial :)


Do you know for a fact that it's easy to implement?

(BTW, thanks for your comment on my vid in my File Share! :D)
Increase damage in custom options to 110%, it would make the AR a 15-shot kill.

I think a larger magasine would promote spraying.

With a more limited ammount of shots, you have to really pay attention, burst fire and make every shot count, promoting aiming.

Marksmanship would be even more rewarding with a higher damage round- as the single, well aimed rounds wouldn't be hopelessly weak and useless against the enemy.

Basically yes. Maybe bring back the 60bullet clip as well for fun :D

60 rounds? Only good for campaign.

Otherwise with the new accuracy of the AR it would be the most powerfull weapon in the game. Just pull the trigger and lay back.

Damage boost only imo.

Grammar edit.

Any other way to draw attention to a thread that isn't active plainly because of the flood of Noble Six and the Rookie threads?

I would appreciate it more if you posted on-topic.

I agree the AR is my worst weapon. I've tried to like it but it's just not powerful enough.

110 % is just to test this out. No one said that every weapon needs a buff (well, some on the forums did :P).

Which means it might as well not be there at all, right?

RC Clone is the anti-thesis of a lurker.

"Make the AR more powerful."

Everyone says, "Now I'm picking the AR."

"All right let's make it less powerful."

Play the game like it is real; use cover, use teamwork and you will survive.

I really want this in the game :'(

  • 12.22.2010 7:42 PM PDT

How about they change it to 24 to kill?

  • 12.22.2010 7:48 PM PDT

I only use the AR if I have the female spartan selected.
