Sandbox Update Wish List?

All I want is for overheating on turrets in vehicles to not exist. Scorpions, wraiths, regular warthogs. It's so infuriating to have to constantly stop yourself right before you do enough damage to get a kill and wait for it to cooldown over and over. Especially in firefight. It takes more than one full overheat of a turret to kill even a soldier or elite. And these turrets are completely useless against bosses.

Thanks for the feedback folks - keep it coming!

Sniper - Reduce magnetism as is far to forgiving still. You should feel satisfied when you land a snipe.

BR - The recent update has made it pretty useless in sandbox. People normally dont even bother picking it up anymore.

Have you tried the latest BR that was released after the Overtime update? Because that one only has a slight vertical recoil that only interferes when shooting an enemy outside of RRR.

Yea I have and I still dont pick it up. It just seems like the Pistol is far superior in every way.

Whether you have the aiming button on the opponents or not bullets are having issues of hitting opponents. Grenades and melees are not registering on opponents. If you fire blindly and melee walls you hit your opponents.

Get rid of the insane inaccuracy on the carbine and counter that buff with a slightly longer ttk or something.

Br, dmr and carbine are no longer worth using since the nerf. The reason why is because the magnum is too strong. I like how you guys are trying to slow Halo down a bit like the classic Halo gameplay. If you are doing this then you need to nerf magnum as well

Alrightly Ske7ch. Here is my feedback on some issues I have with the Precision and Automatic weapons. As the weapon tuning update has yet to accomplish the goals you guys set out ( reduce or remove weapon redunancy, reign in problematic aspects, highlight the roles of each weapon, allow certain weapons to return in competitive play)

Issues with the Automatic weapons:

• Storm Rifle and Plasma Rifle are too strong and completely overpower the AR and SMG at their roles. Both of them need to be regined in but not nerfed to the point of uselessness
• SMG base and crit damage too low to warrant a good reason to pick it up. Accuracy is too low as well. Completely made redundant by all other Automatics and is often the loser when engaging other kinds of weapons at its own niche
• AR still needs a couple tweaks, decreased the headshot damage, increase the base bullet damage and lower the Rof by a smig. The AR as it stands is too skewered towards finishing off an opponent with 1 or 2 headshots while it is easily bested by the magnum at its range. Headshots should be rewarded, but not at the cost of making it a bad idea to attack another user who's not carrying a Plasma Rifle, Storm Rifle, BR, Carbine etc, who's a full shields and health.
• Wasn't the changes to the SMG and AR made to make them viable and allowable in competitive play? Except for the brief test settings with some new maps for oddball, we haven't seen how these weapons preform and their gameplay with pros

Issues with Precision weapons:

• The Magnum is both easier to use and more effective than most of the longer ranged rifles
• The Carbine's accuracy is a big issue with shots not hitting were they are supposed to (as seen with this recent video!)
• The light Rifle is now a bit too strong with the other rifles nerfed
• DMR a bit awkward up close
• BR should be the starting weapon

Those are my concerns now

Grenades need to be reverted to their old style of damage with the new radius. They already work as information gathering tools, and since the update players are rewarded with information and massive damage if they land a grenade. If hitmarkers stay then the 'just nicked' damage should be the way it works.

"The Radar" And by the radar I mean there is 3 radars in this game 1. the 18m radar in most playlists, 2. the 25m in btb/warzone, and 3 the 24m in competitive which only shows people when they do certain game commands such as sprint. the inconsistency is annoying. I prefer the 25m radar that shows everything but i'm open to the others. I would like to see some consistency across the the game it almost feels like i'm playing 3 different games when i change playlists. The 25m worked in other halos in btb and with smaller mapped playlists. Also competitive obviously cant have a 25m radar that shows everything but the difference in btb 25m to slayer 18m is so annoying. I have friends who play this game only a few games a week if that and I have to explain to them the way the radar works so they don't get confused. All that rampbling aside i suggest a 25m in all playlists/gametypes that shows everything in all playlists except the "HCS" designated playlist. In the "HCS" I suggest the radar be 25m the way it is now in competivtive or no radar at all. One last feature that would be nice is if it shows in the playlist description what kind of radar you are getting in this playlist. I hope that these thoughts will be read and considered. Thanks from a lifelong Halo fan!!!
