Everyone can spawn with a boltshot so it's balanced, ADAPT!
Someone said that on here before, can't remember who. Sigh...
*throws up a little*
While we're at it, let's make speed boost a perk as well

IMO, because we're further back in time it means we'll live longer.
You describe my nightmares.

Halo 5 featuring Juggernaut and Stopping Power perks.
I have many gripes with H4, but the sandbox was done really well. The pistol being a shining example (no spread, no recoil, insane range):

^Needs to say RIP in peace.
Incinerator Cannon and Shotgun are just fine, did you mean the Scattershot when you said "inconsistent shotgun"?
The scope is the least of the DMR's issues. The Aim Assist ranges is what makes that gun so much better than the other precision rifles.
In Halo 4, I feel like every weapon is worth having. I couldn't say that about the sandboxes of H2/H3/Reach. Guns like the Magnum, Plasma Repeater, H3 Spiker, H2 Plasma Rifle, H3 Plasma Pistol, etc. were very forgettable.

Really?
You think we need FOUR rifles, THREE sniper rifles, TWO rocket launches (one of which doesn't require aiming), TWO shotguns (plus the sword, which is basically a shotgun in purpose), etc?
This sandbox has so much damn overlap, it's ridiculous.
Compare that to Reach, where the Needle Rifle and DMR had distinct strengths and weaknesses. Hell, one of them you could choose to go for a headshot, or just hammer the trigger for a combine.
Just go back a few OT's - I'm pretty sure he posted a few times.
I never saw him playing it on my list.

There's three rocket launchers if you count the fuel rod cannon.
I'm really surprised at how little Halo I've played so far during the holidays. I guess some of it can be because of other games ie AC3 (Finished, complete crap of a game), Forza Horizon (Amazing game), but of course the game has its fair share of issues. Let's hope 343 has some stuff prepared for us in the new year.
Have a happy new year guys. I'll just be chilling with my dog and possibly watch Return of the King Extended Edition (read a few pages back that its 4 hours.....holy shit).

It's annoying but that's what happens when you have unlocks and loadouts, you start cloning weapons to serve the customization.
I remember a BTB game, where I got killed from each of those weapons within ~15 seconds. InbaRageQuit...
I really like all the different starting weapon choices. However, I wish they were balanced. That would really make things more interesting.
In an ideal classic mode world, BR/Carbine/AR (with pistol back) starts with DMRs on the map as pickups would be pretty solid.
I was playing SWAT on that one map that's outside (can't remember the name Complex) and got salty after I was picked off from well across the map. So I switched to the DMR.
It feels like a sniper rifle @_@ I had no trouble taking people out from across the map, but I'm not as good up close with it (since I'm so used to the BR)

I have to agree with you, Tashi. The differences in each of the weapons should be a bit more balanced so that there's less of a clear cut winner in the DMR. Whether that means buffing the other ones, or nerfing the DMR remains to be seen.
But I do like having the choice.
I think an interesting way of giving the carbine a role might be in giving it an even larger clip size and/or maybe some sort of plasma stun ala HaloCE. Keep that longer kill time, but buff it in a different manner.
