the balance is only perfect to someone who doesn't like how Halo used to work.. Oh the old way where one weapon dominated.... yeah real balanced... also there storm rifle isn't balanced as it over heats quickly. The weapon balance of H5 is the best it's ever been in Halo. there are different styles of gameplay and balance for games..HCE-3 worked because they had a utility weapon and it was a different style of game then H5.

saying traditional Halo wasn't balanced because it used a utility weapon system is like saying football is unfair because you can touch the ball with your hands and that's not allowed in soccer...

And if you really think SR is balanced because it overheats "quickly" but the former Halos utility weapons are unbalanced then I think it is useless to try to have a discussion here..



















I'd find the concept more livable if it didn't negate 3/4 of the sandbox that aren't power weapons.The comparison between the SR and the "Utility Weapons" doesn't work, For one,the SR doesn't win a lot of encounters out of close range, (AKA: balance) and can be easily combated with a precision weapon outside of close range. the H3 Battle Rifle is a precision weapon that basically trumped many non-power weapons in its own sandbox. Same with H2's BR. And for CE... I'm hoping you're not trying to advocate that the Storm Rifle is more overpowering than the Pistol, because then I would find it useless to have a dicussion here.The balance is perfect in this case for anyone who can actually understand the concept as a whole. As in, no weapon particularly overpowering another, and every weapon having a use at different ranges/roles. The precision weapons in HCE-3 worked in pretty much every range with correct use, and it was pretty redundant to use any lower-tier weapon unless it was AR starts.People are only saying that automatic weapons are overpowering because they have better precision in smart scope, but anyone with a clue would shoot him out of his scope before he could capitalize.
