Feels so good! Feels so Good!

I know I haven't seen a lot of familiar names on the 343industries.org and HaloWaypoint forums, but I spent a LOT of time fighting for exactly these changes over there (Minus the Beam Rifle and Mantis adjustments, I hadn't commented on either one previously).
It's been exhausting, and I have no idea that any of my posts ever assisted any sort of progress, and these are "Proposed" changes, but the thrilling thing is that I've been saying exactly these things, even in these words, for a long time, and I finally feel vindicated that by some means 343 is considering them. Again I may be completely unrelated to the progress, but more than one person can have the same good idea at the same time without ever crossing each other's paths. I'm just glad that the good ideas are getting somewhere.
Except for the beam rifle which I know little about, I hope that every single one of these proposed changes becomes reality. The BR and Carbine suck, they've sucked since launch, this is exactly what they need. The Warthog Chaingun is EFFING HORRIBLE and PAINFUL to fire it's so weak, but finally it might get a buff, hopefully the buff it needs. I didn't actually feel the Mantis needed a lot of tweaking, I've long considered it the most balanced vehicle in the game, but it's chaingun WAS weak and I'll be happy to see it improved.
EDIT: I have no idea how to get the damn embedding to work, I've tried multiple things.
