...bolt action like the gun its based off of in Halo 4? Presenting, the Mechem NTW-20 So, if 343i had made it bolt action, would you still feel like a badass? Or would people complain?

People would complain and say its "copying CoD."

You know, the usual.

It would feel odd and pointless.

That would pretty much make it a Spartan Laser in some regards.

Hanger one I just shredded with the SMGs until ammo was out and I just threw 'nades like a boss while BRing.

My experience playing Cairo Station on Legendary

Bolt Action? If it kept the same firing rate as before I'd have problem with it and I didn't have to zoom out every shot I'd be okay with it.

Dear tomorrow, Find some sensibility, Respond to emotion.
Dear Politician, Define sagacity,
All chances of survival are beginning to diminish.
Comedy is no excuse for our own blasphemies.
Mass media, Mass pessimism, Mass Denial.
My television tells me to panic, but I don't think I'll listen.
The apathetic force us to persevere, with their backwards priorities.

I would be upset that Bolt Action Rifles have some sort of superiority over other rifles due to the fact that Halo is set 500+ years in the future.

It would have to have a duel variant of that model of unsc sniper rifle, variant 1 bolt action, variant 2 same model as SRS-99.

If you're passionate about the thing you're talking about, I'll always lend an ear.

It they make it awesome, then I'm okay with it.

I hate to break it to you, but bolt action rifles have an accuracy advantage even after we've had viable semiautomatics for more than a century.

Did anyone else think of the Black Widow Sniper Rifle in Mass Effect when reading that post?
