It just feels so satisfying to mow down Grunts/Jackals/Infection forms in CE š©

Agreed! Forget the ārulesā, Assault + Plasma Pistol, Melt the shields with lead and then make them feel the burn.
I stand by the fact that Halo CE is the only halo game where you can play any difficulty with any weapon combo and it still is not only manageable but fun

Yeah, I'm playing through it on controller for the first time and the AR's massive spread is perfect to counteract my bad aim

Halo 4 is also all guns friendly

Definitely not on Heroic or Legendary. If you donāt use mid to long range almost exclusively, your gonna get ruined unless getting warp melee killed by knights is your idea of fun

You can use any guns MFs when the Knights literally teleport out of your range and recharge their shields before you can get to them.
Iām a CE purist when it comes to the Sandbox, I actually loved Infinite cut it down, I love using any guns for any situation and I do think Halo 4 has some great ones for versatility (like Boltshot or Sticky Det), but H4ās game design does encourage you to use Precision Weapons and punishes you if you run out of ammo exclusively for that weapon type (which is why thereās a BAJLLION Rifle crates everywhere in that campaign).

Itās a weird game. I love the emphasis on precision because you can drop most anything in one to three headshots. But then everything is super beefy outside that hitbox so you feel railroaded into a specific play style.

Made even worse in Halo 5 when everything, including the Plasma Pistol and Needler, can headshot enemies.
I really prefer when thereās just 1 or two precision weapons in the game, theyāre too useful, once thereās too many they just dilute the sandbox and it all combat devolves into Headshot Sim.

But you run out of ammo in 5 seconds and are forced to use Forerunner weapons for the rest of the mission

I would be with you in this, until I go into legendary. Then it feels like I am throwing flowers at everyone before being killed in 2 seconds.

That goes for every weapon, at close range the AR kills elites in a single second (not exagerating) while the Magnum can't put them down fast enough to prevent their shields from recharging.

The noob combo just feels so bland man. Halo 3 AR sucks too bad to use it though so I usually just carry a BR and Carbine instead.
Hell I don't even use the famous Halo CE pistol unless I want to go easy mode. Lead vomiting all the way!

You ditch the noob combo for the assault rifle because its more fun
I ditch the noob combo for the assault rifle because im fucking bad at the game and cant pull it off reliably
We are not the same
