They should weaken up the AR and the ARs auto-aim angle and projectile spread should still be decreased. The people with ARs and jetpack ruin the game IMO.
The Storm Rifle and Suppressor could still maintain their buff to make it stronger (with decreased projectile spread, and auto-aim angle) as well as the Vehicles buff. The Warthog chaingun took too long to kill where it should be like in Halo 3 where if a chaingun was shooting at you, chances are you're going to be absolute or dead..
