Subject: Most underpowered weapon?

There are many threads about overpowered Reach weapons but think for a moment and tell me what weapon you think is MOST in need of a damage boost. I reckon the Focus Rifle would be more sought after a 15% damage boost. Which do you think?

Repeater, Spiker, and Plasma Rifle are defiantly the most underpowered weapons in the game.

For long range suppression it is underpowered. Perhaps not so underpowered at close/medium range. Actually quite a good weapon up close in free-for-all slayer.

But that is the point, it's a suppressive weapon at longer ranges. If it killed faster, the Focus Rifle might as a well been a Beam Rifle, which is just a carbon copy of the Sniper which can't reload.

A suppressive weapon at longer ranges that few use to be exact. I wouldn't ask for a major increase in damage (like over 30%) but people in multiplayer seem to be unable to detect weapons other than power weapons and the ones they spawn wielding.

Its not my actions that define me, but under what light I'm being looked upon.

I think the machine gun turret should be less weighty, the speed impairment and the poor range leave it as a useless weapon, bar falcon turrets.

Plasma Rifle. I wish they were as strong as they were in Halo 2.

How exactly is the ghost underpowered? It was pretty much made for splattering, which it is great at doing, but I assume you are talking about its plasma cannons?

In previous Halo's if you were good enough in a ghost, you could take out tougher vehicles and last an entire match in it.

In Reach, it's a moving splatter sled. Problem is, Armour Lock, it's piss poor defense just like most Covenant vehicles in Reach, and can barely kill anything other than a ghost due to the rigged rock paper scissors vehicle system.

Yes, they're probably talking about its plasma cannons. They are the ghost's main weapons. The original, Halo: Combat Evolved ghost had no player-activated boost. Fun fact :)

Yeah, but it had a much faster overall speed.

Yes you did, and like I said before, at least in Halo Wars you had a chance.

Here's an example of Reach. You're in a ghost. You're attacking an enemy warthog. The gunner is somewhat retarded and also has an 8 second dely in reaction time.

You'll still lose once he opens fire.

Yep. Aah the days of Halo: CE, splatters at 1mph. Good times. Damn, must not get trapped in nostalgia bubble again. Focus.

In general most weapons in this game that aren't overpowered, are underpowered.

Herp derp.

I'd say the ghost is more over-countered than underpowered, though.
