Only if the other non PWs are also beefed up.

I don't want a spray fest game.

BAM! Said the lady.

Clip size is fine, but moar power would truly make my AR an AWESOME RIFLE!

You not cookin'?

The assault rifle is a close quarters combat weapon. It has appeared on Halo : CE , Halo 3, and now here. 3 games already. Don't you think Bungie would've tried balancing it? It is balanced.

They may have tried, but they didn't succeed.

It wouldn't be a spray fest. Only bursting would get beefed up this way, and the other aspects of the game would be nearly intact.

  • 11.22.2010 12:05 PM PDT

yeah, i believe the damage should be increased. However, increasing clip size would just make it a given for being able to kill someone easily. It's better to still have a little challenge in getting the kill with it.

We cant have it too powerful though, then everyone would spawn with a power weapon that kills easy. I'd like it too have a few more rounds but I doubt that will happen.


Um... Do you remember the Halo 3 BR?


I don't get the comment. The BR wasn't OP, nor was it a starting weapon.


Team BRs.
Team SWAT.
CTF BRs.

...lol play H3 matchmaking sometime no?

I am a penguin. Every day I boogie on down to the water, and eat fish. Once, while fishing in the deepest depths, I saw great Cthulhu... And he said to me "Shine, to thine own self be true. They can't tell you what to do once you've gone guru." Also, I should tell you, "slide".

A slight increase in power or mag size will make it possible to kill more than two or three people without reloading, so I like.

i has teh signature!!!

I wouldn't mind having 16 shots to kill.

Actually, I was fooling around in forge while my friend was AFK, and I found out I had 15 rounds left n the magazine and he was lying at my feet, dead. lag, or something else?

I do not want the MA37 to become more powerful or have a larger magazine. What I do want is for the MA37 to become much more accurate. If you look at the max spread of the bloom (I like bloom) it is almost bigger than the original assault rifle and the cadence for the burst fire to keep it accurate enough to engage someone using the pistol is only 2-3 rounds in very tight trigger pulls.

To me (Who likes the MA37 more than the DMR) the fix is not making it more powerful or have more rounds but just simply making it more accurate so It can actually be used past 10 yards. I know it sounds crazy but I would think that a fully automatic assault rifle should be more effective than a pistol.

It is the most accurate AR yet. It just shows the bloom in comparison to the MA5C (Halo 3 AR)

I'd just like to have the damage per round buffed to increase the effectiveness of bursts.

For anything longer than mid-range you'd either have to be playing against noobs or just be plain stupid to use the AR, no? So I'd rather see the rounds have greater damage than even greater accuracy.

This. Also, if you're reaching the max bloom for the AR, you're very much doing it wrong. Generally, the best rule is nothing longer than a 3-5 round burst. Longer, if you're closer, obviously, only go full auto in that "may as well have a shotgun" range.

I just read a thread about how reach is not fast paced and how people want it to be faster paced.
bottom line is that yes it should be less shots to kill.

That too. It would make the game more balanced, more skilled AND faster paced!

That's exactly what I'm saying! Although I would define the 'full-auto' range as just before shotgun range :P

This is a very good change, and I see most of us agree the AR needs tweaking. Even friends I have talked with about this, that don't have B.net accounts agree!
