This is false. We can't search together because of MMR. Had a hard time finding games last night with only 3 of us searching. Back to the topic, however; when we mention random spread/ recoil, we are referring to the fact that if you have your reticle on the enemy player's head while battling them, you will most likely have to shoot 5 times to kill them even if you are on target every shot. This is due to the spread of the BR and not the full burst hitting the enemy. This is not Halo 3 where we have to lead shots, frankly it would be impossible to lead shots with the randomness of thrust in this game. I understand that 343 wants the pistol to be the main gun in arena, but in BTB the BR is (supposedly) the main weapon, and we just want headshots to kill people when they are one shot instead of having to shoot 2 when they are one shot in the head.qlimm wrote:Dude you guys are almost always a full 8.

My BTB mode stats that I posted are what's reflected within HaloTracker. It's possible they may be off by a little bit from what can be viewed here on Waypoint. I didn't bother to verify between the two. I only posted them because l3ackdraft's comments regarding my stats were meant to devalue my responses on this topic. I did not post them because I felt they would bring any additional merit or weight to what I said previously (they don't).Plasmacy wrote:In regards to your stats (no matter how bad they may be), you're not posting the right numbers. I looked thru your profile and saw that you have under 80 games played in each of the BTB gametypes. l3ackdraft has over 100 games played in each gametype AT LEAST. Not only that, he is one of the top 5 players in BTB this season alone, as shown here by Josh Menke.eLantern wrote:...
So while the statistics that you post show the actual changed numbers, you can't put how a weapon feels into numbers. This is the problem with the argument that you are presenting. l3ackdraft plays high-level BTB, and while it is a social playlist, it can still be played competitively. I'm guessing that you play BTB to have a social/casual time, not a competitive time (correct me if I'm wrong). Those who play competitively notice the inconsistency in every match whereas those who are playing socially/casually tend to focus more on having a good time than winning.
Now yes, the current BR is better than what it used to be after the patch, but just because something works, doesn't mean you should not improve it! While most, if not all, of the competitive BTB community is asking for longer RRR and reduced recoil, I propose that all that is needed is a simple recoil or aim assist buff. That gets the best of both BRs
I would pick the the first option: Battle Rifle (Stabilization Jets) 100%.Unyshek wrote:Hey l3ackdraft - thank you for speaking up and sharing your opinion!l3ackdraft wrote:Hello Unyshek, community leaders, and 343.

Weapon tuning changes like the A, B, C, & D options you mentioned above would require a content update, which requires a lot of different key teams from the studio to build out, test, and implement. Since all of these teams have shifted focus towards Halo Infinite, there are no currently plans to release any additional content updates for Halo 5. While I never say never, unfortunately this means that any additional weapon tuning is not currently in our plans.
However, your plea has not fallen on deaf ears. After a quick chat with H5's Sustain Team to see if there were any other options we could consider, we wanted to ask you and the community to consider some other options:While I can't promise anything, I can reassure you that we are listening and looking forward to hearing your thoughts. Thank you again for reaching out, and please let us know what you think!
- Replace the Battle Rifle with Battle Rifle (Stabilization Jets) to reduce recoil
- Replace the Battle Rifle with the Pistol, which has also been a fairly common request
Option #3: Long Barrel. Replace the Battle Rifle with the Battle Rifle (Long Barrel) to specifically increase its hip-fire RRR (it would also increase its ADS RRR) while maintaining the effective drop-off outside of those ranges.Unyshek wrote:Hey l3ackdraft - thank you for speaking up and sharing your opinion!l3ackdraft wrote:Hello Unyshek, community leaders, and 343.
