343i Working on Halo 4 Weapon Tweaks

[KillerGUNNY132]

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?

i wish they would leave my BR alone...

[Zeta Crossfire]

MUHAAHAHA My AR is now more fearsome then ever!

[Asseroya]

YES! NOW I WILL GO FROM UNBEATABLE TO INVINCIBLE WITH THIS CARBINE IMPROVEMENT! PS I love the Carbine rifle

[Yehsus]

Meh.

Just slow down the rate of fire for DMR and it would be fine.

[Jam Cliché]

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.

[VerbotenDonkey]

Good. Now maybe I'll actually find BR ammo on the battlefield.

[Silko]

Dmr will still rape face

[KillerGUNNY132]

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)

[Asseroya]

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)
