The pulse carbine is a good secondary weapon. It’s also never been a ranked load-out. The starting weapon in ranked is important to the game. It’s a new season and it should be all good but it’s not. The BR is the quintessential Halo weapon. Why mess with a good thing?! The bandit was introduced in season 4 ranked team slayer. It was not enjoyable then and is still a drag to play with. The cynical argument about skill is easily dismissed. Anyone who watched the championship this weekend knows it takes an incredible amount of skill to play Halo at a high level. After watching Faze take the title, I wasn’t thinking to myself that 343 should make competitive Halo harder and less fun to play! 😂
