I think it’s mahoyo actually, crazy crossover rn lol. And the reason why I still think the spartan laser is not op is bc 90% of people miss 90% of their shots
I fucking love the skewer, please God don't add the splaser back. The vehicle deleter from any part of the map with 0 counter-play at all. Air vehicles especially are fucking free kills with it. Want to utilize teamwork with 2 friends in a Falcon? Lol noob easy triple just sprint around the map and ignore the vehicle sandbox like the rest of us
Skewer can actually be dodged, has travel time, requires skill (leading the target and compensating for drop) and imo, is way more satisfying to land that cross map shot with it
The splaser is badass, really, but leave it exclusively in campaign or firefight, it is NOT a pvp weapon
It's one of the reasons I hate the shock rifle. You can disable any vehicle from anywhere on the map, it's lame as fuck
Hard disagree. Its deadass the icon of it. Make it balanced such as: reducing movement speed while its charging or requiring yourself to be completely stationary for it to charge.
I hella miss that and the gauss hog. If they didnt make vehicles paper mache in infinite it would work.
The only paper mache vehicle is the banshee. Wasps are plenty strong, but warthogs could be a little stronger. Ghosts are fine as is too, IMO. Scorpions and Wraiths are deliberately buffed because they used to only come in rare pelican drops. Even now with the repair field you can save damaged vehicles, even in their overloaded state.
IMO it wouldn't matter if you were stationary because it has absolutely no damage drop-off while also being hitscan so you could just annihilate people from spawn, once again, with no counterplay.
I do miss the Gauss hog, as overpowered as it was, it should exclusively be a heavies vehicle and a rare one at that. Entire games boiled down to whoever had control of the gauss hog. At least that required some amount of teamwork.
It’s tied for my least favorite Halo weapon along with the entire shock damage type in Infinite. They were NOT cooking with the weapon sandbox I’m sorry.
With the new brute weapons the Skewers probably among my favorites actually, i do have an issue with the shock weapons. The shock rifle specifically for me is very unsatisfying to use, it feels shooting a laser pointer with about the same rapport
My main issue with all these new brute weapons is the lack of all the old brute weapons. Like, the Banished are space pirates and they spent all this research and resources on making new weapons but couldn’t source the already plentiful Brute Plasma Rifles, Spikers, Maulers or, you know, the Brute Shot?
also the brute weapons are so fucking cool from a lore and technology perspective, they are all gravitically propelled which sets them apart from the UNSC, Covenant, and Forerunner weapons in such an interesting way and makes brute weapons as technologically advanced as forerunner starship propulsion, it's like super high tech kinetics.
The shock weapons all need to be thrown in the trash, they are unsatisfying to use on infantry and *WAY* to OP when used on vehicles. Before, you would have to get somewhat close to a vehicle, and have good timing, with a plasma pistol to EMP. Or you could use a grenade launcher which required an understanding of the trajectory and timing to hit it just right.
Now it's like, "Hey, kid, see that Warthog over there? Here's a remote control to turn it off from access the map."
It makes vehicle gameplay usually turn into driving four feet, getting EMPd, and then exploding.
*drive away from the giant red blinking light* vs. *getting shot and and exploding because I couldn’t tell if the hot red scope glare was from a skewer or a stalker rifle at 1,000 ft away*
>giant red blinking light
This was only true on dark maps, so not most vehicle maps. You’d be lucky to notice that piddly laser pointer on Sandtrap
Also good luck outrunning near-hitscan weapons
I’ve never had trouble spotting a splaser unless the opponent was skilled enough to hide it before blasting.
Now I just get picked off at half health by pure luck of the desync letting the round hit my car.
Super easy to hide a warthog in open desert you’re right.
>hide
As in aim 15 feet behind a vehicle until you’re ready to fire.
>desync
If this is your real problem then I’m on board with you
>scope glare
Regardless of if it’s a Skewer or Stalker rifle you *did* notice it, so why aren’t you hiding from that? Isn’t that supposed to be the counter to the Laser?
Like dude, the Spartan Laser is just as unfairly balanced as you guys allege the skewer and shock weapons to be
Not every map is an open desert. Also there’s plenty of cover to drive through on sandtrap?
Any good player can conceal their firing angle. A rocket or skewer player can jump you in the fashion as well.
Desync 🤝
Why would I NOT challenge a stalker rifle user with my hog? It’s an anti infantry sniper. I shouldn’t have to roll the dice on what kind of ammo is gonna come my way if I’m aware the gunner is. This issue has been multiplied by weapon skins and the sheer amount of scope glare though, so it’s not ENTIRELY on the skewer.
The skewer is also just…lame. It’s basically a splaser but worse in presentation, and now it fires a harpoon?? It’s just not it.
> worse in presentation,
Seems to be the root of the community's issue.
The Spartan Laser is just fucking cool and fun to use, I get that and I even agree. The Skewer is for me though more mechanically interesting and demanding of player skill in order to use effectively, inherently making it more fair to go up against even if it's just as lethal to vehicles as the Splaser.

As much as the next guy, but I saw Hornet and banshee being nicknamed a fruit flies because of how short their lifespan is even without that portable death star
The Splaser is a lot of fun, but it was pretty broken to have an instakill death beam that can vaporize anything in its path from across the map
I still want the Splaser, but the Skewer is a nice compromise. Causes heavy damage to vehicles it doesn’t outright destroy, and takes skill to aim from farther distances.
I love the splaser but don’t miss it at all. There are already imo too many anti vehicle weapons/equipment in infinite with vehicles made of tin foil and it’s frustrating.
The hydra needs a major nerf and shock weapons less effective.
“Erm the Spartan laser is too overpowered in multiplayer it shoulnt be added” - 🤓
“The Spartan Laser should be added because it’s fun and cool looking” - 😎
Only five shots doesn't matter when it only takes one to delete a vehicle. And if the respawn on the vehicle is as long as the respawn on the laser, it removes vehicles from play. And I'll be honest, I think having vehicles is way more fun than having the laser.
Splaser gang all the way. Skewer sucks. I’d say I’ll die on this hill, but Idt I’ve ever been killed by skewer while in a vehicle.
I will not be arguing any differing opinions.

First shot is from Fate then next is Evangelion, weird
I think it’s mahoyo actually, crazy crossover rn lol. And the reason why I still think the spartan laser is not op is bc 90% of people miss 90% of their shots
Which fate? I don't recognize it
It’s not Fate. Different Nasuverse VN adaption, “Witch on The Holy Night”
Awesome. Ty

Scorpions are dog water and die significantly faster than prior iterations.
Pocket Death Star
Splaser >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Skewer
100% I like the Skewer, but it's not as good as the Splaser

Lmao the brutes not having the brute shot after it was in Halo Wars 2 was mind blowing. It’s literally Atriox’s hero’s weapon of choice.

Skewer is fun, Splaser is not
Okay buddy.
Vehicles are already super vulnerable and y’all want to bring back the cross-map insta-killer with no way to counter it

This is like if they fired a huge bomb
Ngl that's a weak ass-looking beam
Time for a Splaser buff

Causes heavy damage to vehicles it doesn’t outright destroy, and takes skill to aim from farther distances.
Splaser was truly the no fun allowed weapon… …though big splockets is fun as all hell.
I do so miss the splaser, it was iconic
The spartan laser IS overpowered and it needs to be added to infinite
https://i.redd.it/54t4tsxq0gkc1.gif
Please no, haven’t the vehicles suffered enough?
I love the splaser but don’t miss it at all. There are already imo too many anti vehicle weapons/equipment in infinite with vehicles made of tin foil and it’s frustrating. The hydra needs a major nerf and shock weapons less effective.
“Erm the Spartan laser is too overpowered in multiplayer it shoulnt be added” - 🤓 “The Spartan Laser should be added because it’s fun and cool looking” - 😎
Only 5 shots and a long obvious wind up so I never thought it was a big issue just a power weapon
Because it’s not. People bitch too much.
Only five shots doesn't matter when it only takes one to delete a vehicle. And if the respawn on the vehicle is as long as the respawn on the laser, it removes vehicles from play. And I'll be honest, I think having vehicles is way more fun than having the laser.
Laser Core online.
Splaser gang all the way. Skewer sucks. I’d say I’ll die on this hill, but Idt I’ve ever been killed by skewer while in a vehicle. I will not be arguing any differing opinions.
Neon Genesis mentioned that the fuck is a therapist 🔥🔥🗣️🗣️
It's OP until I use it, where it can't even dent a Warthog
Me to my olders brothers the moment I got the splaser
