Halo 3 is way to unbalanced.

I think all the weapons are fine and balanced, I use all weapons but still usually stick with the assualt rifle. Bigger weapons equal more power, just learn to use grenades and just load into them, then melee them. If I went up against someone with the turrent, sparten laser or shot gun I would probably win with the assualt rifle or other various weapons.

I am a casual player on Halo 3 and stopped play Halo 2 for a long time a few games here and there but look at my stats on Halo 3, 2 5ths and 1 3rd the rest are 1st and second.

Turret: thats why when people carry it, they're slow which makes it easy to sneak up from behind

Spartan Laser: The 5 second delay, and laser line balances it out so it can't come out of no where as a surprise. If you're dumb enough not to try and find cover when that red beam is pointing at you, that's your own fault

Shotgun: its strong at close range like always, thats the point of a shotgun, at close range they can blow your limbs off in real life. But at far range, they suck.

Needler: they increased the power but made it non dual weildable and have a shorter clip, it's balanced

THE END

wow im really shocked. The warhog turrent just is the most powerful weapon and really if you can control your driving and have the sparten laser then you are 99% chance that you will win.

The shotgun is way to powerfull and if you pick it up u bascally win.raylewisnfl52

So what happens if I have the shotty and you have the warthog and spartan laser? Will the universe explode? Quite your f'in whining and man up...skills pay the bills sucka

i havent played the h3 beta but from my experience with H2 and H1 i can almost bet that there is a little imbalance, but you gotta know how to use each weapon. If you are overpowered, throw a grenade and then shoot them once in the head wtf is the problem. Any newb can shoot a rocket, but once you get skilled, anything is lethal. Just keep playing and get good with each combo. Im sure that i could beat someone who has sword/sniper with a grenade and a fist. BTW GoW has the most balanced weapons *in warzone* ...besides the shotgun they **** with in the patchuLoSe24

THe rocket to me seems the hardest to master now. Its more like the boom shot where the shot needs to be directly on them.

wow im really shocked. The warhog turrent just is the most powerful weapon and really if you can control your driving and have the sparten laser then you are 99% chance that you will win. What is the needler omg its like way to powerful. It is way to easy to use the spartenlaser. The shotgun is way to powerfull and if you pick it up u bascally win. Sorry I love Halo 3 and I even have preorder the Legendary Eddition and loved Halo 1. Halo 2 was ok. If you think about it then you can see how unbalenced the game is right now. I hope they fix it.raylewisnfl52

look then its just you the turret may be strong but its to easy to kill because of the characters speed. I managed to kill a lvl 34 with and assult rilfe when he had the turret, and on the other side the game is amazingly banacned you just cant tell from playing too much halo 2 *caugh* BR *caugh*, just like bungie said the ar rips apart an br from short to med range. neddler has not many bullets, spartan lazer take 3 seconds to chage now for  a experianced player like my-self I would be able to kill him in 3 seconds. shotty is only good at short dictances, you should of seen someone try to kill me from long range witha shotty...did..not...even...hit...me!!!

you should look at halo 2 and say its unbalacned, not halo 3

Sorry, Can't really agree. The age is way, way balanced. I would still like to see some changes but hey, it's good right now.

Wait... you just named 4 weapons that were "I win" buttons. Maybe if you learned to use the other 4 weapons, you'd see that it is pretty damned balanced.

 If anyone is too stupid to not move when seeing the targeting laser on the spartan laser, they deserve to get insta-gibbed. I've never been killed by it.

All the people who like it (The good or at least decent players) will say its balanced, others will not.

The game DOES NOT have balanced weapons thats not how halo works. The guy who said he uses the machine gun is smart because its the only sure kill weapon that you could actually call Overpowers (Same with the WH turret). Halo balances through the players ability to dodge everything thrown at them (hence the reason the instant hit weapons are so great) sure the needler beats almost everything but a good player (Or one with experience with the needler) will void it and kill you with there instant hit weapon.

If your going to call something OP lets talk about the Sniper Rifle, its literally an all purpose weapon. Want to argue and say "But it shoots slow" why do you think Counter Strike is such a unoobfriendly game? Oh hey thats right people got good with the sniper (Notice the "Got good").

Melee weapons can also be bad but a player should no the way around this one. Just to top this off though you could argue that if someone got as good with the needler they'd be as good as a sniper, not true because as i said above (I know people would just remove this fact if not repeated) ITS A 100% SKILL BASED DODGEABLE WEAPON NO MATTER HOW GOOD THE USER IS.

In the end whats this mean. Halo is by no means balanced as far as weapons are concered, its balanced through that fact that every player can learn to dodge your shots unless using the instant hits (Mainly the human guns) then its like CoD on EasyCore.
