343i Working on Halo 4 Weapon Tweaks
In 343's bulletin last week, they said they have been looking into tweaking the weapons in Halo 4. Their reasoning was that it was basically a one gun game with the DMR. They didn't go into much detail last week, though. But this week, they gave a quick overview of what they're working on. NOTE: THESE ARE NOT FINAL, STILL A WORK IN PROGRESS.
DMR
They are leaving the DMR untouched.
Battle Rifle
They are looking to buff the BR from a 5 shot kill to a 4 shot kill and also reduce the rate of fire.
Light Rifle
They said all they've done is increase the range at which the reticle turns red. I'm not sure what that changes, maybe increased Aim Assist for longer ranges?
Covenant Carbine
They have buffed Carbine to now have a 7 shot kill instead of a 8 shot kill.
Assault Rifle, Storn Rifle, Suppressor
They said they have given these weapons a damage buff but also decreased the aim assist.
Beam Rifle
Looking into possibly nerfing the Beam Rifle's Aim Assist
Vehicles
Looking to buff Mantis and Warthog Chainguns.
So what are your thoughts on these possible changes? Would they help balance the game?

Re: 343i Working on Halo 4 Weapon Tweaks
i wish they would leave my BR alone...
Re: 343i Working on Halo 4 Weapon Tweaks
MUHAAHAHA My AR is now more fearsome then ever!
Re: 343i Working on Halo 4 Weapon Tweaks
YES! NOW I WILL GO FROM UNBEATABLE TO INVINCIBLE WITH THIS CARBINE IMPROVEMENT! PS I love the Carbine rifle
Re: 343i Working on Halo 4 Weapon Tweaks
Meh.
Just slow down the rate of fire for DMR and it would be fine.
Re: 343i Working on Halo 4 Weapon Tweaks
4sk BR?
I just got hard...
EDIT: After reading the update, "Halo 4 Infinity Challenge War Games winner StrongSide"... I was not privy to this information before now. But, then again, I could have guessed who it'd be.
Re: 343i Working on Halo 4 Weapon Tweaks
Good. Now maybe I'll actually find BR ammo on the battlefield.

Re: 343i Working on Halo 4 Weapon Tweaks
Oh, I forgot to include a few things.
They are looking into nerfing the Beam Rifle's Aim Assist.
Also looking to buff the Mantis and Warthog Chaingun. (Post updated to reflect that)
Re: 343i Working on Halo 4 Weapon Tweaks
They were also probably going to bump up the damage done by Warthog-turrets and the Mantis-chainguns and decreasing the aimassist on beam rifles.
(Sorry Gunny, didn´t notice that you posted that)
