For over a decade Halo has been a force in the competitive shooter genre. Why? Well the simple answer is the one staring you in the face: THE GUNS!! The slightly longer answer: Halo's Guns are balanced based on the principles of the school yard game rock, paper, scissors, but with a special covenant kicker that gives the game a surprising strategic complexity. Do you think Bungie's intentions of perfect balance matched up with the realities of the game? Let us know.
