So I personally believe that the weapon tuning should have been a title update. Because without the title update it is fine in matchmaking but it breaks customs. You have to download versions of every map and gametype to make the 4sk br settings work. And to be frank for some people, they have not worked in customs. It is quite frustrating for some to think that the br will be 4sk and it ends up being 5sk. I imagine since spartan ops is online that the weapon tuning is in spartan ops as well. I haven't verified this bc i have no reason to play spartan ops. However, I would also venture to guess that since you can play campaign offline that the weapon tuning doesn't affect campaign. Correct me if I'm wrong, but different weapon rates of fire, weapon range, and weapon damage between matchmaking and campaign is an awful idea. With a title update the weapons would be as they are in matchmaking across the board without forcing people to redownload new gametypes. It also means that all the custom gametypes people have made in the past will still be usable instead of their current state of being obsolete. As a side rant 343 should have someone who understands how CTF works to come in and place the flag locations. Because the updated flag locations on maps are rather disappointing for the most part.

I took the time to messure the exact range aim assist kicks in for all precision rifles. The ranges where messured using the DMR's scope and are accurate to the first comma. The ranges before the June 3rd weapon tuning are in red, to put it into perspective (Unscoped/Scoped). The Sniper Rifle is also included, note the ridiculous unscoped RRR: BR: ( 30,71 / 61,16 ) ->> BR: ( 27,60m / 55,10m ) Carbine: ( 30,75 / 61,21 ) ->> Carbine: ( 27,20m / 55,00m ) LR: ( 30,70 / 91,58 ) ->> LR: ( 36,65m / 109,65m ) DMR: ( 38,57 / 114,64 ) ->> DMR: ( 36,80m / 109,70m ) SR: ( 38,20m / 152,20m / 342,80m ) Although I personally did notice it on the BR and Carbine a little bit but it could very well be a placebo with the difference being so miniscule...
