It's especially fun in games with low populations where a lot of teams will likely be in a party. And you're just sitting there. Observing your teammates try and fail to understand the deep complexities of grabbing the flag.

I miss Halo 5. Such a ways away. Please let there be a second beta.

Would love a beta for last minute weapon tweaking. AR/Magnum starts could use another shot with the community before launch.

ı didn't like the BR in the beta too.It wasn't OP which is good but it felt like DMR..BR's 3 shot burst should be more viable imo..Also , ı wouldn't mind if AR and SMG get nerfs..They were a little OP in the beta..

MCC MM is real slow, is like no one playing anymore?
Edit: Slow but worth it, CTF Zanzibar finally. It is so gud.

Annoyingly you're avatar is already the max size so I couldn't just put the ribbon on top like with Gnome's, so I made a few so you can decide which you prefer:

I'm afraid I disagree on all points.
I felt like the BR was a bit more forgiving at close to mid range than the DMR, making it my weapon of choice throughout the beta.
I love the role of the SMG as a close-range powerhouse. It's much better than its previous role of "that gun that stays on the ground for the entire match", and it's utility is so limited to close range encounters that it doesn't feel OP.
And the AR should be a solid contender at close and close-mid range to avoid another wimpy H3 AR scenario where it was useless unless paired with a melee.
My opinion of the weapons in the beta was that if you imagine a continuum of ranges at which you might attack another player, each weapon had its own segment that overlapped somewhat with the neighboring weapon's segment. This gave each weapon its own role in the game and picking up certain weapon actually encouraged players to adapt their strategy to best utilize it. It's a smart way to build a weapon sandbox IMO, and it makes it fun to strategically pick up and use various weapons throughout the match rather than always using the pistol or BR in every scenario.
Yup, the beta was a really nice change from the typical "BR is best at every range" gameplay which Halo had kinda fallen into.

I'd love to play in parties too, but since I started Halo around late H3/Reach I'm scared I such just as much. Although I'm really enjoying Halo 2 online, especially when I'm lucky enough to find a game where my teammates don't actually suck.
Btw could someone explain to me all this "Cystic Fibrosis" avatar tag thing going around (referring to the actual disorder or?).
Even jem wants AR+BR starts. Do it 343.
Ram started it really, explained here: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=162407119&postcount=607
Heh, honestly, I enjoyed AR + Pistol starts as well. Although if they do actually decide to go with AR/pistol starts they'd have to buff the pistol a bit. BR/pistol starts weren't so good though, there was no point to using the pistol.

AR/BR was the most fun. I liked it more than BR/Pistol for some reason.

I have to admit that the Lightrifle in the H5 Beta was awesome. I always picked one up to support my team^^
It finally had a role.
I wonder how the Covenant Carbine is going to act now.

Throw a little DoT on that bad boy. Discourages sprinting away.

I usually have the guests on my team, hell there can be multiple guests and somehow they all end up on my team. I wish matchmaking would balance guests.
UGH. No. I hate weapons like that.
I've been playing a bit of Destiny and they have a weapon called "Thorn" that does DoT. It's incredibly frustrating being forced to take cover for 30 seconds because someone randomly got a shot off at you from across the map.

Just another reason why Destiny PvP is a joke.
Damage over Time
IMO DoT would be great gimmick for the carbine. Maybe just 2-3s of damage?
Nah the best "Gimmick" for Carbine is to just leave its RoF uncapped and have it become the destroyer of worlds.
One reason why I love H2 Classic in MCC, its uncapped there.

Maybe instead of Damage over Time it could reset your shield recharge meter for an extra 2-3 seconds. I mean hey, if it's there, why not make use of it?
Alternatively, if you want to play up the radiation angle, maybe headshots could do the same amount of damage as regular shots, but divided between shields and health concurrently. That way you could still balance it out as being an effective precision weapon in the player's hands (7-shot kill maybe), but in PvE the enemies would seldom be able to land consistent headshots on you.

Lore-wise it doesn't make any sense as the Carbine is a projectile weapon.

Don't you dare insult my Thorn. I worked hard to get that.
Use the subscription feature.
Because it doesn't work great. Uncapped firerate is a bad idea because the gun has to be really bad or it's gonna be OP.
I'm pretty sure it wasn't fixed when I played H2C last time. Not sure about the latest patch

Those modded controllers though
Nerf the damage a bit then. Its an on map weapon so it at least should have something going for it.
Thats a pretty valid concern
Can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not.
I had a friend in high school die due to complications with the disease :/
If someone would do it to my original Avatar too it would be appreciated.

Goodness, thanks so much Jem. Will update when back home later today.
Yeah leave carbine like that, don't need that damage over time stuff for it.
Decided to boot up Halo MCC for some H2A online, but the framerate drops frequently. I don't remember this happening around Christmas, did the patches do this, or maybe because I am in the preview dashboard? Kind of bummed me out, the framerate fluctuations are terrible to me.
I kind of hope we get a performance patch after the online stuff is fixed, its unbearable to play H2A on splitscreen.
