SMG + BR is the ultimate combo, especially on Empire. My god.

it was a bug
Exactly. Some times I'd just teabag a smug sniper who could do nothing against an onslaught of nade spam where he was holed up just to piss him off. It's part of that psychological rage game. Some people get so upset they send you messages, last one I got I think I got called a BK because I teabagged someone from a kill in Action Sack Fiesta lol.
It's something that is so unique to Halo, even the Simpsons when they showed the game, had Homer teabagging someone. I hope at the very least killcams are removed from the final game. The game is much more fast paced than before, it makes much more sense to keep the camera on your body so you can see the action. Would provide an opportunity for teabagging to return as well.
The snipe outside is like a gimmie for its location, a good team will lock down the outside and have good lines of sight.
If a rocket spawned outside and the snipe was still inside, it would be an interesting tilt in balance. The snipe would have to EARN the outside essentially.
Two snipers on Empire is definitely too much. One of them needs to become a shotgun.
I like this idea. Put the interior weapon on the outside and the exterior weapon on the inside. This would probably help prevent a team from potentially camping one of the weapon respawn areas.

A leftover from halo 4?
Ayyy
Throw a shotty bottom mid with a camo powerup.
Rockets outside. Snipe inside at its original location.
Game. Set. Match.
Right. And knowing that rocket is outside, you're in an unfavorable position having the sniper in close quarters and closed off buildings. Would kind of force you to move your position and rotate with the snipe or try to gain the outside area.
I think a rocket launcher on that map might be a little too much. Depending on if the Halo 5 shotgun is worthless or not would probably influence what power weapon goes outside
Im gonna get on in just a few minutes, we'll dong on BKs

And got my first ground pound. It came at the cost of my third perfection in a row, but oh well. :lol

It's a pretty tight map so naturally the AR will shred through everything.
I dunno if I'm being insane or not, but the map just feels cheesy with ARs being so strong.

Me and Robbert are waiting in the lobby right now anyway.
TTK is good in this game, a rocket would might be nice. To me, there just needs to be more on the map to actually control...so far it's two snipers...
I know this is a beta, but I'm just hoping that's why it's so stale-like...because it's a beta.

Will join soon
So, if we were to tone down the AR...off spawn in CQC situations, you're going to basically have rifles spawn kill you, or you're going to have people rush at one another with ARs till they melee, which was what Halo 3 was.
There's also the magnum that's amazing in this game.
I honestly think we're just not used to a full-auto weapon actually being able to kill from mid to short distance.
Time will tell.
Question: Will there be a remix album for Halo 5 like there was for Halo 4? I really enjoyed the H4 remix album and would love another.

The AR on empire feels good to me. I akways go for a BR/SMG combo though. The AR is great for assisting teammates.
I'd say its because its a beta and because a huge chunk of the normal Halo weapons are missing in action. We haven't seen
-The shotty
-The rocket launcher
-Any of new human weapons
-Any of the Covenant weapons sans the Prophets Bane
-Any of the Promethean weapons

I see you, Vin!
Why the hell aren't we all in a 4 player group right now, lmao.
This will be interesting
Both maps need a heavy weapon to break up camping, IMO. This is mostly because of radar, but ya know.
It's amazing how much Halo has changed the past 3 games, but the radar is still the same ole shit. Destiny has a good radar if you must stick with motion, but I'd reduce the range on it greatly. I prefer a CoD/BF radar tied to gunfire personally, I know they're not removing it entirely. Too many people think crouch walking is some kinda integral part to the gameplay, lol.

Yup, seems a bit silly having two snipers as well. I don't think a rocket launcher would work though, bit too tight IMO. I think a shotgun would be pretty good.
Well one thing I personally don't want to happen is that a map get flooded with a bunch of crap.
Halo CE's weapon sandbox was amazing becaus each weapon had a situational use to it.
Pistol - everyone knows its use
AR - close range
Shotgun - close range
Sniper - long
Needler - well...it's a needler
Plasma Rifle - slowed down enemies when shot by it
Plasma pistol - popped shields if hit by a full charge
Rockets - insta kill weapon
It's no tighter than Dammy, Prisoner, and the Pit.

Robbert and I were waiting in the lobby a bit so I didn't accept at the time.
Yeah, I've run into this a ton too.
I dunno, I just really really don't like the AR. The accuracy gain when scoped has gotta go though.
I guess it depends on how different the shotgun is in H5 versus the old versions.
Maybe the Halo 5 shotgun is actually the shotgun from Black and it actually can wreck people from decent distance

I honestly feel like the AR would be balanced if you just couldn't scope in with it.
Right now the BR is the strongest gun in the game with the smg a hair behind it so I'm not sure where all this AR talk is coming from. When you start playing semi-pros and pros it's all they use.
The DMR is so inadequate I'm not sure what it is but it seems like it has recoil. Almost the same amount as a sniper.
Team-shot will destroy all.
This is why I think pistol needs to be a four-shot
Pistol has a faster rate of fire than the BR.
A radar that shows people when they shoot would almost make up for sprint and ADS. Really wish they'd replace the motion tracker with it already.
I think it comes down to personal preference, I opt for the DMR every time over the BR.
^ I know people are dead set against weapon customization, but if it meant I could add a silencer to my weapon and remove myself from radar, I'd be all for it, lol.

It does have recoil. Only time I use it as the better weapon is at very long distances.
I saw the 343 stream of it when they did the early beta. It is pretty basic and there is definitely some bugs with it. Still, awesome that it is finally a feature in Halo.

I want a "staydar" that only shows people crouching / stationary. It'd encourage people to stay on the move, at least.
Yeah it is cool.
I really like this game minus a few guns (AR). Has anyone else noticed a little beet when you get a red reticule when scoped in with the sniper?
People would just move around a tiny bit in a spot.
