Fear the pink mist...

I think people will get used to it. It'll be fine for this game and it doesn't effect the play that much.

More exclamation points = much better thread title. Also, it evens the playing field for people who work and can't play all day. I can almost bet that the cap wil be gone in later months. Also... who cares about the experience? Your stats and skill still improve, and lets be honest, the game is fun. Just enjoy it!

Nope. It's powerful but not overpowered. It's the same as finding a strong weapon like the rocket launcher. It serves a purpose as a power vehicle, but it's not invincible. I've done really well with the Mantis by hanging back and trying to focus on picking off vehicles more than players on the ground. If you rush up with that thing, you get two or three kills, then you're toast, you've wasted a great vehicle, and your team hates you. Also, Banshees can make really quick work of those things.

Yeah, I do tend to agree, although in past Halo games (excluding Reach) it's been the BR all the way (obviously) and people never did judge that too harshly. It seems like the DMR has greater range than the BR and people need to try and take advantage of it.

I prefer scoping out, but all in all it is becoming the same thing. You get shot, you flinch, but you still zoom out and take cover. It's more or less the same mechanic in my eyes.

I definitely tend to agree with you zexi. Automatic weapons absolutely take less skill to use. That being said though, people can still be pretty effective with them if they play the the right way.

I wouldn't call myself bad, but if you believe what all of the fourteen year old kids say on Xbox Live, I'm definitely a noob. Hit me up, I'm always down to play with people!

I tend to use precision weapons most of the time, but that's because I've been playing Halo for a long time. In all honesty, precision weapons will beat automatic weapons the majority of the time. That being said, people who complain about how much the assault rifle and other automatic weapons suck are blindly running into rooms spraying. If you pick your engagements well and you keep it CQC, automatic weapons will outdo precision weapons. Just because they shoot a lot of bullets doesn't mean they take no skill. Also, I've found that people who use auto weapons tend to use their grenades and armor abilities much better than someone who takes more of a distance.

Pick your engagements if it's that big of a deal. If you, for some reason, think that the DMR is killing you so quickly, grab an assault rifle or suppressor and plan your engagements closer in. The AR will beat the DMR at close range. Posting threads in all caps while you are on the community forums won't get you anywhere. And I'm sure that this issue has been brought to the attention of 343. Balance will come soon. Until then, you might have to adjust your playstyle. Or, if you can't do that, just use the DMR for the time being.

When I first experienced this in Halo 4, I was actually really excited! The fact that drop-in/out wasn't in the other Halo games was becoming a bigger issue (at least to me). I agree with you completely on this. I also get the feeling that it's going to take a period of time for a lot of the people who don't like the game to quit/stop complaining, and then many people who love the game will come in. What people don't realize is that this game has been out for fifteen days, made by a company who has never released a game before! I've heard lots of people saying that they are "off to Gamestop to trade it in". I feel sorry for those people. 343 will get the hang of managing multiplayer very soon, and when they do, I know that this game is going to explode!

I could see a Scarab or something like that, but just deciding to "create" a massive Elite just seems strange and out of place. This game most definitely is not Lost Planet.

It'll get solved in time. I would bet that there will be some sort of distribution of XP based on kills, headshots, things like that.

This is exactly right.

I haven't run into this problem as of yet. BTB can be a lag-fest though.

I would actually like a ranking system, but that being said, a vast portion of people are casual gamers. Also, using periods is a good thing.

I feel like for me personally, I wouldn't ever want to see his face, but if they were to do it, it would have to absolutely end the Halo franchise for good.

Pretty good! What do you use to capture?

I'm also a big fan of wired controllers. I have much fewer problems with them.

I'm a BR fan. Promethean Vision can help you get the drop on someone and land the first couple shots. You should be able to win that 1v1 most of the time.

And both of you aren't getting double xp?

Halo 4 for sure.

It's a CoD game. I shot people. I leveled up. No big deal. Though I am confused as to how the current version of zombies is way worse than the first one. The first one was just a single building... I'm not sure how a bigger, more expansive experience is worse.
