They need to make Halo 4 mlg, not halo 3 mlg.

Oh yah because the 5shot faster shooting more accurate DMR is = the 5 shot less accurate slower firing rate BR and is = the 10-shot Carbine.Yes, I see your logic

Halo 4 is fun, but right now, it cant be competitive.

The point isnt the kill rate. The DMR OWNS at long range and is the same at midrange, same at short range.

Halo 3

I, like other people, have read the previous halo novels and would like to read another. Will there be one in the near future?

How do I dislike this post? The BR: worse DMR Carbine: sucks light rifle: OK ( DMR still better ) see the problem?

I certainly hope that isnt so.

I kind of agree. I also disagree. Halo 4 is an AMAZING game! Its super fun, really fast gameplay, and a very good campaign. The multiplayer , as fun as it is , is imballanced. BR: good at close- medium range. DMR: good everywhere. Boltshot, 1 shot secondary. Ordnance, random. Right now, if the game stays the same, MLG wont work. Luck based ordnance is really bad. One side is getting stickys, the other, energy swords. On the other hand, Armour abilities are fantastically balanced. The only one in question is the regeneration field (maybe). I remember being excited when I first heard the BR return. But I found out the return of the 4-shot BR didn't happen. I don't know what the designers had against the mighty 4-shot. In Halo: REACH, Bungie outright removed the fan-favorite weapon. WHY? to get rid of its 4-shot. 343 just gave us the weapon design, and made it a worse DMR. Another thing (this is personal) the lack of snipers on the map. In almost all halo maps. The sniper was somewhere on it. You couldn't miss it. Why couldn't you miss it? Because its the hardest , but the best , powerweapon to use. MLG teams would recruit a player based on their skill with the sniper. You would even see them on CQB maps like Halo 3's Guardian. Now with the random ordnance, you might not get the chance to use the super skill weapon. This can be fixed simply by including snipers on almost all maps. A good thing is its fast paced multiplayer. You also cant get away with being completely awful . Sadly, this is the only thing keeping it going. The boltshot brings back COD memories. If you played MW2, you probably complained about people running around with shot guns , and just using shot guns in general. People didn't get on COD (back then) to run around with the shotgun very often. It wasn't the point of the game. The point of the game (sadly) was to run around with GUNS! Not shotguns! And if you can have easy access to this kind of weaponry, it brings an unwanted element to the game! The sprint mechanic is actually, one of the best additions to the game. This brings it more fast paced, more combat, more teamwork, more... EVERYTHING! Lastly perks. 100% unnecesary, the game would probably be better without them. In COD, this was almost your forced perk choice. Sleight of Hand, stopping power, commando. You would find yourself at a large disadvantage. Same thing in Halo 4. Your mid distance dueling someone with an assault riffle. Both stop to reload. You dont have dexterity, you have the ammo perk. He has dexterity. He reloads faster BOOM! instant fight winning advantage. The best thing to do is ( I would think as 343) is to take into account of what I'm saying , and make some more balanced COMPETITIVE playlists. Sometimes, it is fun to abuse the imbalanced things about this game, and the right to abuse these things could still remain. With the seperation of competitive and non competitive playlists, everyone will be happy.

Obviously, we have been complaining a lot. Some good, some bad. I think it's important for 343 to read these balance forums. I would like a confirmation that they're listening.

yah

Ok, Whenever you see someone on radar stay away from them ALWAYS. What if your using an assault riffle? DOESNT MATTER! What if its close combat anyway? DOESN'T MATTER! What if i have a shot gun? DOESN'T MATTER!! What if you don't see them on the radar? DOESN'T MATTER!

Alright, you just got 75 points in infinity slayer. "Ordanance Ready" you see your options... You see a speed boost, frag grenades , and a sticky. Meanwhile, across the map on the enemy team, someone else got an ordanance. His options, Railgun , scattershot, damage boost. Seem fair??

Regicide would be fine... If there was also Lone Wolves.

Assault would be nice to see again.

Sounds like an RPG.

I must agree. The DMR is even at close range to the Br. More powerful at mid range, and rediculous ( I dont care about spelling ) at long range. Perhaps bringing back the BR 4 shot might help?

Another thing with Elites. I hope they bring invasion back at some point

I've been playing Halo since halo 3, and I have to say, 343 has done a very good job with this game. I'm here to address common issues regarding balance and all that. I have already made a thread about the bolt shot if you wish to check it out!

If you have played halo 4 yet. You might have noticed getting one-hit by a secondary. Although, you cant just sit there with it fully charged,the ability to one shot with a secondary is kind of odd. It is easy to blame the weapon in the middle of a game but is it truly over - powered? If so, how would you fix it? Other than this and the DMR being better than the battle rifle and the random ordanince drops, 343 has done very well with this game! I hope to see 343 respond to these type of threads and keep a strong relationship with the community. Edit: It is very annoying getting killed by an 8-year-old spamming the bolt shot all game. It probably should be fixed
