perfectly balanced.....
Halo 4 being very unbalanced was one of the key things that really destroyed its community from the start. Lets face it for a long time the DMR was the best precision loadout weapon. Not until a patch that came out long after launch finally made the Br , lightrife , Carbine into weapons that were finally its true equal.
( Also #NEVERFORGETHEBOLTSHOT
When Halo 5 launches all weapons must be very balanced and if they are not, it needs to be one of 343I topic priorities.
