So I'm just starting out with reach and really enjoying it. I feel the AA in the game are a bit overpowered like many people. What made the equipment balanced in H3 was the fact that you had to actually aquire them. I actually really like how the loadouts are dealt with in reach and the only real flaw is aa recharge on there own. I would have rather had one or two uses on spawn and have to pick up recharge packs.
