BALANCE? No, not havin ballance is what makes games fun. Every time i see forums, there has to be a human counterpart to this; a covenan equivelant to that. Its just annoying. In real life, nothing is equal.

Well this is a game, not real life.

Games are meant to be fun, whereas real life isn't nearly as fun.

Since there are people on both sides in a game playing, it's good to have a balance between both sides to keep it fun and fair for both sides. Otherwise it'll be just one sided.

Don’t get mad if I flame you because you cannot spell, or because my three year old has better grammar and etiquette than you.

How would they balance a rocket launcher and pistol anyhow?

I do agree you have to get the better weapons first, its a war, not a flag football game.

There don't have to be Covenant counterparts to Human weapons and Human counterparts to Covenant weapons, but there should be balance in the gameplay.

It takes away from the originality of game wen there is a same type of weapon and vehicle on each side.

There doesn't have to be the same types of weapons and vehicles in different parts of the maps, but the gameplay should be somehow fair. Spawn points shouldn't determine who wins the battles.

I too am getting tired of reading people begging for a human sword or a covenant shotgun. I don't think Bungie needs to make any radical changes. Maybe give the sword a battery life like in campaign (so it's more like a temporary power play), fewer rocket ammo on the level so its emphasis will be primarily anti-vehicle (people would probably wait to use it on a vehicle instead of a single person if it's hard to get more rockets), and finally make dual wielding a more close range tactic by reducing its mid-range accuracy. This way if you spawn and someone is running in the room from the other side, your single gun will be more accurate than their two guns...that way you could worry a little less about getting spawn killed. Although that wouldn't stop it completely.
