No random group invites please.

-Grenades feel bit too powerful but maybe because of lack of speed to runaway from the nades.

-Camo is somewhat fun, but when it jams enemy/your radar, you can easily just go to a corner and just wait for the camo guy to pop out of somewhere.--> Element of suprise is lost with with radar jamming<---
Also maybe the camo is bit too long, considering it can be recharged.

-AR might need a little buff, it's nice gun, but usually I see people tap Y as soon as they spawn, because pistol is much more powerful.

I will post more later on or add to this

every weapon that isn't a power weapon (exception of needler and plasma pistol), as in rockets, focus rifle, sniper... etc
needs a slight power upgrade, they just don't kill fast enough, especially the AR, i think the pistol is ok though. DMR should have less bloom, and so should NR. loadouts are good but camo needs tweaking, basically just keep it the same as halo 3's camo.

grenades and rockets damage radius need to be toned down

i think that the magnum could have a few more bullets per clip.
i also think that the bloom for the DMR should be reduced.
I also agree with spawning with one grenade.

Formerly the righteous I Ross H I before the unfortunate e-mail change event

AR is underpowered, DMR needs to have bloom reduced to be effective.

I also think loadouts should vary a little more, the only difference is AAs for the mostpart.

The needle rifle's rate of of fire needs a boost.

Pistol reticule needs to be darker
Nade damage either reduced or the radius
Sniper seems too esy to use..when i get the chance that is
I really dont think the AA work to be honest. Sprint is fine but the rest should be pick ups on the map, each with a usage cap of 3 times before expiring. I'd like to see a way to stop sprint being used with hammer/sword, its extremely cheap.

I hated this game to begin with but im starting to love it, just needs to be tweaked.

XD Nice going with the BR DMR thing.

I can't wait for invasion. Keeping this post reserved until then.

One of the last ~300 Halo 2 players ever.

The Hayabusa makes us more aerodynamic! We're going SUPER FAST!

Average Joe

I really like Evade, because it makes me feel badass when I use it to pound another Elite to death while he's wondering what the hell just happened. Jetpacks are sweet, althout take a bit of effort to get you moving at first without jumping. Sprint seems fine, but I rarely use it. Armour Lock is badassery in a can.

Weapon-wise, I love the Needle Rifle to bits. I'm not a fan of the DMR. Given the choice, I'd drop the DMR for a Needle Rifle any day. The Pistol is pretty sweet. The Assault Rifle is a tad odd: seems to have a pretty long range on airborne targets. Maybe that's just the spray clipping me as I fly away. Rockets seem to have an annoying auto-aim. I was aiming for a plaer, and they ran around a corner so I aimed at the base of the doorway, and the rocket came out and hit where the player was as he rounded the corner instead. Odd. The other weapons seem to work well.

Grenades are fine as they are, the way I use them at least.

Can't wait to try the vehicle side of things tomorrow.

The Reticule Bloom on the DMR needs to be decreased.

Camo's radar jammer can hamper the entire enemy team at the same time, which makes it extraordinarily powerful if playing as a team.

EDIT: Nevermind. Official AA thread created right after I posted this.

~BEZ~

Weapons seem balanced no all purpose weapon this time around id a plus. I liked the BR but the DMR is way more balanced.

The maps could use a few more weapons. I rarely ever have an opportunity to swap weapons.

Combining a one-shot kill long range weapon like the Plasma Launcher or Sniper with the Active Camo AA, you can pick everyone of from a ledge or catwalk in Sword Base without really exposing yourself to the enemy (since you're stationary with perfect camo). I think the Plasma Launcher is pretty overpowered to begin with

I use MLG as a warm-up before I play Social BTB. The funny part is that you think I'm joking.

AR needs a large buff, DMR needs a teeny tiny buff, pistol needs a small nerf.
Make the sniper harder to noscope. It's a sniper, not a shotgun.

Armour lock needs to put off people standing next to you waiting to kill you, and should encourage people to back off and attack with weapons/grenades, seen far to many people just run around and beatdown, with little EMP blast damage.

Headshots in SWAT seem to be out of line. I feel if i aim high (above the head) i cant miss, yet a shot i'd consider to be in the head does nothing??????

The deafing when grenades go off is just plain annoying, same goes for when in active camo, i'd prefare to see the radar disappear for the cloaked person instead of scrambling it for everyone in radius, as all it does is alert everyone that camo is in the room!

I want my spartan lazer back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it reely helps against banshees

In the first batch of low quality pics that were leaked for the game (showing the menu screen, the DMR that everyone thought was a redesigned BR, etc.) there was a pic of what looked like a spartan laser. It was silver and had a little screen on it, remember? Will that be in the game? Are there more weapons to be unveiled?

Don't like that you can melee a sword lunge.

I agree about lock-on with the plasma launcher when you are in active camo, shouldn't happen. I also feel needles shouldn't track you when you have active camo engaged.

So far having really good fun, though some little issues in my opinion are:-

Hammer has mega lunge, Halo 3 was too small, maybe inbetween would be better?

Focus Rifle is too good everywhere, and maybe armour lock is pointless against it as they can wait you out. Maybe a longer cooldown, or less ammo until it overheats? Perhaps I was just facing guys who were good with it :P

Grenades as everyone else has said, I think if they had a longer "fuse" they would be perfectly fine.

However I think Plasma Repeater is a great new addition and the shotgun finally packs a punch. :D

Bloom has to go, or be seriously reduced.

I agree to an extent...Bloom is a little annoying, but I think with the HUD opacity increased, we will then be able to see it, and therefore bloom may not actually be as big a deal as people make it out to be.

I love the concept of bloom, but I think some of the weapons just a little too much, and take a little too long to return to normal.

Level This Baby!!!!

I catch myself resorting to grenades way too much. And as stated in the main topic, yes they are powerful... so maybe a spawn with just one would be a good idea or even only be able to hold a total of three (two of one and one of the other??) Just an idea
