The Assault Rifle has been very well balanced I think.
The Needler is WAY to overpowered, they went overboard with that one. Only a few shots is really needed to kill someone.
The Spartan Laser isn't as unfair as most people think, it has a fair bit of time that it needs to charge up first.
The SMG's...well, I didn't even touch those.
The human sniper is a lot better, you can't shoot 4 times in a row within a second anymore, you have to wait a short time before taking the next shot, a lot better than Halo 2.
The Battle Rifle is still nice and damaging, but you have to wait a fraction longer to shoot again than Halo 2.
I didn't even find a pistol...or magnum...
Those are my takes so far. Oh and Joe K, sorry about last night, my connection was lost and I couldn't get it back. 🙁
Oh, some others too:
The Brute Spiker is neat, use only dual weilded though.
The covenant carbine is very powerful, killing quickly, I could be ok if it were a little less powerful.
I cannot comment on any of the grenades due to my constant lag in grenade throwing, pretty annoying...
The turrets are fun to use, the third person view is a nice change, the turret walk is slower (obviously) and it kills people relatively fast, just don't take on more than one person at a time with this.
And the mongoose is awesome!
I think that about covers it, in my opinion of course, others may see it all differently. 😄
The mine is pretty much useless, but the bubble shield is very good.
I must agree with the Needler being extremely overpowered. I mean...it's just devastating. You're running around with your killing frenzy sniping people in High Ground and all of a sudden you explode from a needler that shot you in 1.5 seconds before you saw him. But at least it works now so I'm fine with it.
Also the Sniper has been toned down a bit and SMGs no longer have recoil.
Over all I believe the game is very balanced. You can pretty much kill anyone with any weapon given the circunstances.
Favorite Map?
Mine's High Ground.
PS - The Mongoose is awesome.
Four player co-op?

That would be... godly.
The power drainer has it's uses:
For example I have used it to completely drain a VIP's overshield in order to finish him quick in a VIP game.
In another instance I used it in a CTF offense round by throwing it in a room I knew 2 guys were camping and then shooting a Rocket inside. Since they had no shield it did not matter where the rocket hit the explosion would finish them off.
The grav lift is sweet as well. I was playing on High Ground and I had it. I had Rocks as well. I was inside the bunker crouching and I used the Grav. Lift to get out through the hatch players use to get in and Rocket'd 2 unlucky fellas.
PS - Spartan Laser is quickly becoming a must have weapon.
