Pulse rifles have turned me away from pvp

There is no weapon blance in PVP any more. Pulse rifles kill from the longest distance with low range stats. Hand Cannons and auto rifle have about the same distance max damage as shotguns now days and its just not fun anymore. Does anyone else feel this way? I am a day one player.

      All fate and spare change were what I used year one. I use nerwins now, not because it's a crutch but rather it's a re skinned all fate. I've used pulse rifles since day one because they are natural coming from halo. Some are better but I use what fits for me. Sorry.

      • If ur really a day one player then you should know this meta is no where near as bad as pre 2.0. You don't just have to use pulses. Last night saw a guy get 30kills with a scout. HC still work in closer maps.

        • I've used pulse rifles and scout rifles since day one, I'm happy for the buff but as so many people play just the meta they are going to get needed to complete utter shit

          • I've been using pulse rifles since launch even though they sucked back then. I just liked the way they feel because of halo. I almost wish they didn't get so powerful because now everybody uses them. It used to be only a small percentage...

            • We are now in the pulse rifle meta. Auto rifles were first, next were hand cannons, currently it's pulse. I'll bet money scouts will be the next one. Luke Smith has said in an interview that this is intentional to give each weapon type their time to be the best in PvP. It's their way of keeping crucible fresh... Flawed theory but it's their intention to have one weapon class that is obviously better than every other at a given time.

            • IMO just take away full auto on pulse rifles. Like they did with shot package replace em with one of three good perks. I think this perk alone took away some of the appeal of autos rifles and gave users too many options with pulse rifles.

                • Hand cannons were literally broken. Nothing even close to how pulse rifles are atm.

                      It's funny how Bungie said that if a gun is overused by the majority of players they gonna nerf it. That's what happened to hand cannons and fusion rifles, for example - they were nerfed to oblivion. Then they buffed pulse rifles cuz they were weak and no one was using them in PvP. And now look, everyone is using pulse rifles in PvP. Do you see other primaries in PvP? I sure don't. Time for another round of nerfs, Bungie? This cycle will never end...

                        • I agree w. You, but Hawkmoon is still on top on smaller maps when you're running 3s. Granted it's awful for 6s in my opinion. I've been using it all weekend for Trials & smoking people with it dude. But to me, this isn't worse than the previous meta. Red Death, Messenger, Thorn, Hopscotch, Last Word. Those weapons reigned supreme. Now, you CAN do well w. Any weapon type. Save for most auto rifles. Although if I must admit, Doctrine of Passing is extremely powerful in close quarters. That thing honestly shreds ... But anyways, I'd take this meta over the prior any day. There's still some tweaking that needs to be done, but I feel the Crucible is a much better state than it was most of Y1. They need to bring range + damage falloff up on auto rifles. & they need to bring range + [b][i][u]accuracy[/u][/i][/b] back up on Hand cannons. Because now you miss shots that are point blank on somebody's forehead. & hip fire from even hugging distance is atrocious. Accuracy is all a HC has, it needs to be pinpoint. I wouldn't mind a slight buff to fusion rifles either. I guess accuracy & projectile travel time, that'd be good. Only a tiny bit though. If those things happened, Crucible would be perfect to me.

                            • They should make the range for hC, PR and AR all the same and scouts better than all three and call it a day. It's clear they can't figure it out this way at least all are useable.

                              You'll be much happier if you just use whatever Bungie assigns to be "best". Whether you like it or not, whatever it is will soon enough be nerfed and something else will take over.
