Remove OP weapons

[Fox Martin]

In my opinion, the nornfang and prophets bane need to be removed from halo, there way to Over powered and take away from the competition of the game we all love. I mean really when did halo stoop down to COD status with one shot any where weapon why did they nerf the SMG a basic damn need in warzone In my opinion the norn fang and prophets bane are the soul reason halo fans are converting to other more difficult games like MA3, SMITE, LOL, WOW, and others. Im sorry but these weapons are even going against halolore it's self in the campaigne and in gameplay we have seenboth weapons in use neither grant explosive shells or invisibility in frank I am disgraced to even consider my self a halo fan. Might as well be a COD fan because with those so called halo weapons around who needs any thing else. Just ONE SHOT IN THE FOOT AND JUST LIKE COD YOU ******* DIE. I liked halo because it was better than COD because it added competition and real challenges. But now it seems halo has devolved to the status of COD. If this isn't fixed not like any one would care but I will leave this disgraced community and remember it as it was back in reach, 3, 2 , and pc where it was fun and a challenge.

The way I see it, if you're playing a game mode where you're spawning in REQs then you're not trying to play competitively. I mean I guess they're trying to make that work with Warzone Warlords but REQs just aren't competitive. A shotgun that can shoot from a mile away and reload 5 shells with one pump, a sword that makes you invisible, run faster, and have longer lunge range; a rocket launcher that makes you run faster, jump higher, and projectiles move as fast as a sniper bullet? These have been in from the beginning and taking them out would probably be counterproductive at this point in the game's lifespan. 

 

If we're talking automatic weapons in ranked playlists then I'm with you like the SMG that you said for example. Some kind of damage or red reticule range adjustment could work.

...wut?

 

So let me get this straight, people who like competitive first-person shooters and are seeking a greater challenge... are quitting to play MOBAs and MMOs?

 

I can agree that most of the stuff in the REQ system is really bad for competitive gameplay. But to say that they're the only reason why fans of the series are quitting, and that they're quitting in order to go and play completely different types of games on completely different hardware, is just ridiculous.

There's a reason that these weapons are only available in social "fun" playlists and Warzone. If you want competetive head on over to ranked matchmaking.

 

Also the necessary precautions have been taken with these powerhouse weapons as they're locked behind a pretty steep energy level blocking you from spawning them in over and over again (if you manage to get mutliple legendary level REQ weapons).

I think these "op" weapons add to the gameplay and it's like that one objective weapon or pick up that you want to get on every game. And if you find the counter, then they're really not that overpowered.
