    Yeah, the sentinel beam is ridiculously powerful, probably why they took it out of MM, since it's like a shotugn useable at ALL range.

    Yeah, that's probably why. But most people underestimate it. I wish they would put it on one of those weekend playlist things, with double XP.

    Well, I liked it in Halo 2 as well. The melee is also a super killer.

    I've been trying to use them all the time in my maps, but it's really best for medium-far to medium-short range, so it's still kinda OP for my close combat maps.

    Yeah, same. I put it in one of my newer maps, TriBridge. The good thing is that no weapon can be overpowered because they are constantly falling off the edge of the map and the better weapons have longer spawn times.

    Yeah I try doing that too- making it the power weapon on the map.

    I usually have the rocket launcher. Not really an "equivalent" but still just as powerful.

    i was thinking that but the map is a bit small for a rocket launcher but i will probably use it since it's the logical option

    Well if it's small then maybe a sword or shotgun with full ammo? Or possibly even Fuel Rod Cannon since the shot bounces at first. It'll ensure it goes far enough so it doesn't kill the user.

    Ok. But if they're near each other then as soon as someone picks up the gun then they'll get the ammo for second one.
