Bungie has great wepon balance (SR=Beam Rifle, Battle Rifle=Carbine, Fragmantaition=Plasma Gernade, Magnum=PP, SMG=PR, Rocket Launcher=FR, SG=Energy Sword, the Gauss Cannon=BS. The needler and the LAAG don't balance)
But the vehicals not as good.( The LRV warthog = the Spectre, Scorpian =the Wraith.) The rest of the vehicles have no balance. Bungie need to add a few more vehicles to counter each other. Bungie threw out a few vehicles and I found them on line. There was a vehical called the 'Farret'. It is a motercycle with two machin gun turret. It's fast so it could counter the ghosts speed.(the warthog is much slower the a ghost boosting.)there is a vehical that is the human version of the Banshee called the 'Hornet'. It has two machin gun turets and rockets. I had an ida about a specter with a fuel rod turret to counter the Guass warthog. What do you think about this?

SG is a shotgun. The Bs is Brute Shot not the brown stuff that comes out a bulls ass.

Ugh... balance is NOT replicating weapons and ending up with redundant human and alien versions of the same thing.

Can you write full words, you lost with with Rocket Launcher = FR, what is FR? I thought for the game the rocket launcher was the Brute Shot equivalent. And I think there is enough vehicles. The warthog and ghosts are different, but are not unbalanced, if there is a combat between a wathog (with gunner) and a ghost they are pretty equivalent. The ghost can go faster with its boost but the warthog can carry more people. And your "Hornet" would be more unbalanced than anything in this game.

EDIT: Oh I see FR=Fuel Rod, but they took it out of MP for a balance reason, so no, they won't put it in MP because it's unbalanced, at least not that version.

Very true. Balance is about putting any weapon up against another and having a somewhat equal chance of killing your opponent, no matter what gun they have.

Fr is the Fuel rod. The bruet shot balances the Guase cannon. Actualy i thought of somthing, the LAAG is ballanced by the spectre turret. The needler is the only unbalanced wepon. And why would the hornet be unbalanced it takes one driver and one gunner. It would be a little bit slower then the Banshee but be armored more. Two/three rockets are needed to take it out. Banshees take one/ two shots to take out.

How the hell does that make them balanced? They have a vaguely related covenant counterpart ... so?

"Plasma grenades are balanced because there are frag grenades"

Idiot.
