am i the only guy that misses AR battles? everything in matchmaking is long range now. Bungie made halo famous for its balance and now its all screwed up. Sure everyone has the same items in loadouts to choose from, but you are now forced to play the game more cautiously. Everyone has dmr and br making close quarters much more difficiult. The second your shields are down, you are dead. Theres no more pulling s**t out or ur ass when ur shields are down getting that double kill. melee kills and shotgun kills are much more rare. I would really like to see a classic playlist made where everyone has either the AR, SR, or supresser to start with. They should have made the dmr, br, etc. weapons to pick up on the map and then your additional ordinance drops with the power weapons. I still like the game a whole lot, but i think the gameplay balance has taken a turn for the worst
