One thing I'm surprised I haven't read yet, someone may have mentioned it, but one of my biggest beefs is that it promotes shotguns in a way. They are annoying, but the worst part is how people who use shotguns get ammo after a lot of their kills due to it dropping after you die. If you are sniping you have to leave your position to get ammo, which is good, but ammo falling back into the chamber for those who use shotguns, not so much. They need to find a balance for that, otherwise shotguns are going to be dominant strategy. Bungie, you guys have a lot of work to do before I say this is balanced. I have fun don't get me wrong, but get to work on this, because this would be much more enjoyable if you could balance out the shotguns. I agree with someone else's statement on the maps as well. Bungie could do better. There are a few solid maps, but they could do so much better. Made so many memorable maps in Halo, try to do the same here. You can adjust your play style to accommodate to your advantage, but that can be easier said than done. When I'm warmed up I'm usually fine. I make sure I keep a certain amount of space between me and the opponent as possible but still engaging mid-range. Have had a few moments where I've been surprised by the range of them, but repping an Auto Rifle and a Sniper has worked well for me. Just playing smart can do wonders, but other games I've played it didn't matter due to the other teams aggression with a strat. Unfortunately I haven't figured out a way to counter that yet. I need a close range loadout, but I can't bring myself to use a shotgun lol. Not my style. Just putting in my opinion, not trying to come off whiny lol. I still enjoy it, but frustration gets the best of me sometimes. And since Cozmo asked. Forward Path, No Turning Back, Misfit, and Dreaded Venture are my weapons of choice usually. I use a lot of different weapons though. I'll add this in because I didn't really specify. This isn't bad in terms of balance. I feel like it could be slightly better in a few aspects, but this isn't bad. I just happen to run into the aspects I feel need work a lot.
