Hey l3ackdraft - thank you for speaking up and sharing your opinion!

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:

1. Replace the Battle Rifle with Battle Rifle (Stabilization Jets) to reduce recoil
2. Replace the Battle Rifle with the Pistol, which has also been a fairly common request

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!

I am down for Stabilization BR starts over magnum. We already have enough magnum-starting playlists

I think the best way of going about this BR is to do the stabilization jets where:

A: There is no vertical recoil
B: It's not affective long range as the old Halo 5 BR was.
C: Perfect for close to mid range battles.

Our issue with this current BR is that the vertical recoil causes a kick back that makes registration a bit questionable and changes the franchise of Halo.
This is more of a reason to go with stabilization jets BR for Warzone, BTB, and Arena (if needed for Arena).

I'd be curious to test out magnum starts, but the stabilization jets BR seems like the one that would transition best with the general population and it would have less issues to worry about on the map.

Stabilization Jets would be better than nothing. I think it would salvage the BTB experience. Tactical Magnums might also be considered. The only problem with having Pistols is that it makes Vehicles way too powerful, so Stabilization Jet BR is really the only option.

Yes! Please the Battle Rifle (Stablization Jets) to reduce recoil.

doesn’t anyone else worry that a stabilization jet br is just a little to OP for btb rifle needs. That br has more range than a h2 br. It may be a little much.

Replacing the battle rifle with stabilization jets ! I’ve been saying this since the last tuning update!!!!!

Imo. The stabilization jets BR sounds like a good option. However, I do not think the “random” recoil (which is vertical I don’t understand why people say it’s random) brings a little skill gap. You have to control the recoil and your aiming in longer ranges. What I do is aim below the chest in longer ranges to get a more effective kill. I think the best solution is use a Long Barrel BR.
I’ve talked about this before. In ARENA, the LONG BARREL BR will have a higher hip fire range/scope range than the Magnum. But will still not be as powerful as the other rifles.
In BTB, you will have the OG BR range but you have to be better at aiming because of the recoil. I’ve tested it on custom games and it works really well.

Stabilisation Jets for the BR would be much better than the current BR!
