Was referring to the automatics there myself. ADS is supposed to be zoom, it's not supposed to give you any ridiculous accuracy or tighten your bullet spread,eespecially in Halo was what I meant. Classic zoom worked in conjunction with hipfire. Both worked the same. It was essentially just zoom to see at greater distances,and guns that didn't allow you to scope shoot allowed you to zoom and see. Here, ADS is essentially a negative for precision weapons.

It is. Again its what Halo 4 should have been.

They should leave the autos as they are. Are they a bit OP, yeah ,but that is so that people who are not good with precision weapons have a fighting chance. You can still four shot the guy and win.
This just encourages the BR/DMR people to get better. I know thats the way I look at it. 343 wants the COD crowd. You guys have to remember the COD crowd is use to being spoon fed and easy kills. Halo has always been hard for them. The way the Auto weapons are now, give them a fighting chance. I don't mind because I can still wreck them.

I think you are missing the point. Others have said it earlier. Halo is seen by many as too difficult, or they play matchmaking and get destroyed by the "pros" paid or unpaid. Having a means of keeping the different skill levels apart could help keep the population healthy.
Another way is to give them weapons that are viable (powerful ARs, SMGs etc), so they can win some encounters.
Speaking as a European, another big problem with halos of the past is the hosting. The game gives host automatically to NA players, and it puts off euro players. That's why I said about open region ranked and region filtered social.
Microsoft could have a potential "secret weapon" with their cloud. No I aint talking sci-fi stories of the cloud making every xbone 3 x more powerful, I'm talking putting more games 3rd party as well (I am sure that they could make a deal with Activision for cod and destiny to be on azure) and then region filter the games and advertise the fuck out of it. I am certain that would be potentially massive in the EU ANZ. Even the states. Anyway, that is off topic. Sorry about that.

"There was an unexpected issue with the Halo servers.
Please try again soon."
I thought it didn't go offline until tonight?

I am fine with how powerful the autos are right now. The issues I have is the range of the AR. I have killed people at mid range that had a BR. BR should always win at mid to long range. I would like it to have a little less range. I don't want it nerfed all to hell. I am having fun with the AR for the first time in 10 years.

So is everyone going to argue amongst themselves and not address the fact that the game server seems to be down again?

I have nothing against clamber because logically a super soldier should be able to climb. Sometimes I forget about it though. Its quite convenient when you accidentally fall off a ledge.

Maintenance is the reason. Should be up by now.
If you are in close, yes. You started with an AR, if you get in close, you should swap to it. Actually makes the BR not a one stop shop for all things.

Servers still down? Can't connect
If you read, you'd see its scheduled maintainance

If a BR/DMR is your go to weapon shouldn't you be able to do that with ease after some point? Also you can kill in 5 before you die. so really just depends on you, and your skill with the weapon. Use your abilities to your advantage. Start thinking for how to approach the situation. I know most likely the person has an AR out so I approach with caution by either throwing a grenade , using the AR myself, or make sure I'm a good distance. If you randomly run into an AR user strafe, jump , and thrust . You should be able to kill the person.

Maintainance that's supposed to have concluded.
This a video game forum, you don't need to act condescending. Nobody will respect you more for it.

Agreed. If you're in close, the SMG or AR should have the advantage. BR is for the mid range and giving the autos power up close is a good thing.
Just have to tune the range of the power.
I disagree completely and think this is ridiculous. The BR should always win vs the AR no matter what circumstance. It's a more skillful weapon. The AR is spraying, the BR you have to precise your shots, which is harder especially when getting shot.
You said everyone was arguing amongst themselves. Condescending?
You said again. They were down on purpose and weren't down and then up, and down again. They're not up yet.

Is the BR still a 4 shot?

Just got a match. Servers appear to be coming back online.
Yes. A 4 shot has a medal called 'perfect kill'

This is why 1-50 is needed. I stayed on Halo because if it. Reach and Halo 4 would have benefited from it even if the multiplayer was flawed.

No just descope.
I believe it does, but your reticle doesn't change. It's merely only screen shake. I'll have to look again harder and pay attention. Descope is back though
Yes it has. If you get hit when not using the smart scope there is a small flich. It's horrible in BR fights and they need to remove it ASAP
I wasn't aware that because I prefer to use a precision weapon that I should only land 4 shots on people. This must mean ce players routinely get tsk's.

That's horrendous. That idea needs to die in Halo. Flinch sucks no matter how you implement it.

if you lose to an AR user from a medium distance to long range you just suck. Only at close range is it a bit more difficult. At that point 4 shot or use your abilities to you help you get the kill.
It's really, really small but it exists

Are you sure ? I never felt my shot go off from it when i got hit. now i'm going to have to really look for it. 343 said no flinch.
I'm 99% sure. There is 1% change it's just really bad screenshake and my subconscius over-reacting to it. Either way, it sucks.

I only really doubt it because when I use the DMR my shot never changes. That takes more precision than the BR so since I never felt like my aim was off I'm going to take it its the screen shaking that got you feeling this way.
I find it adds to immersion. It made no sense for me as a Spartan to be hit with multiple bullets and not attempt to dodge them or it affect my vision. If anything, having the screen remain static just seems boring and unsatisfying. It gives a real consequence to how I engage enemies knowing that each bullet I let hit me, affects my vision and visual stability.
Takes more skill to be situationally aware. AR vs AR will also be won by the best shot and most mobile.
