Having OP weapons in the hands of PVT's or even Innies is just not fair for the covies, I am on the covie side but I also want to make it very apparent that shotguns can 2 shot an Elite General and have a pretty decent range on them, while a single shot from a sniper rifle can actually insta kill an Elite General if their shields are gone. The weapons being overpowered is fine; however they shouldnt be available for as many people as there are currently, a marine PVT had one of the OP shotguns and killed me as an Ultra within 2 shots consistently, If the covies had a buff to their weapons and the randomness to obtaining better weapons were added/removed then I believe it would be a much more enjoyable experience for both sides. Having guns being given randomly almost removes all sense of RP, as a Marine PVT could be better armed than a Spartan, which doesn't make much sense now does it? I propose we back to how it was before where you gained more weapons per your rank/species rather than having it all based on luck.

Thank you for the suggestion this will be getting looked into

I like the idea of a marine being able to hold his own against anyone. thats why its in here, so its more fair for lower class shit

I understand that you like the idea of a marine being able to hold their own against anyone but it doesn’t work from a gameplay standpoint; however I will say though that in Halo a marine definitely had a chance albeit small but a chance to kill an Elite especially in numbers, but when you need both sides to have enjoyable gameplay experience  you cannot allow the very lowest rank to accomplish that feat almost without trying, it removes all sense of accomplishment of becoming an ODST or a Spartan even. If you went back to old system where it was at the very least equal and both sides had a fighting chance then I believe more people would become covenant because as of right now it’s just not fun, walking out of spawn and fighting marines that pull a shotgun that oneshots any non brutes/elites that’s being held by someone who got lucky on an unbox, not someone who was skilled is just plain aggravating and annoying. If a marine is skilled enough in combat to kill an Elite then they did something outstanding but that’s as long as they weren’t lucky and simply got a 2 shot sniper or shotgun. I guarantee if a decent amount of covenant had an OP sniper or shotgun and absolutely destroyed Spartans there’d be a massive push to remove the weapon. I understand that Spartans in lore would demolish Brutes and Elites but you can’t have that in a TDM server, both sides need to be as EQUAL as possible or one side will demolish the other and it will only end up being enjoyable by one side and will be complete agony for the other side trying to have some fun.

you just somewhat agreed with me right now. marines having a fighting chance is equal, elites, spartans, odst, brutes and all that just have a better fighting chance. Just because you got elite general doesn't mean you should be able to rape everyone.

weapon nerfs on the other hand are a solid probably
