I prefer the BR because it have alot more ammo, and are alot more accurate. I often find myself expending my all of my M9D ammo at one guy and it still didn't kill him. However with the BR, I can kill him with only two fifths of ammo.

What's an 'M9D'?

You mean the M6D? There kind of the same in my opinion, but I perfer the Battle Rifle. It feels more like a long range rifle than a pistol does; allowing a better feel when it comes to sniping.

WTF? The BR doesn't have more ammo.

Like you I often find myself missing way more shots with the pistol compared to the BR. The single shots, smaller hitboxes, faster movement and especially the bullet lag that forces me to lead every shot makes it pretty frustrating. I've emptied on occasion an entire clip without landing a single shot because the target was dancing side to side so damn fast.

You really are stupid aren't you? If you would take your head out of your ass, you would see you're basically copying every thread in the forum. We need a machine that stabs people in the face over the internet.

Anyways, M6D>BR.

You're more accurate with the BR because it takes less skill to use than the pistol, due to the mass Aim-Assist in halo 2.

If you want to see the MC die, play Legendary. If you want to see MC finish the fight, play Halo 3. If you want to see MC finish the fight by dieing, why did you waste six years when you could have done it yourself right now?

You can only tell what you see. BR takes 3 shots if all bullets hit, but they usually don't, same goes for the M6D. What you don't keep in mind is the fact that armor was intensely upgraded storywise too. The BR might be twice as powerful as an M6D.

I prefer the M6D (or whatever it is) because I don't like the BR.

  • 03.27.2007 5:23 PM PDT

i liked the M6D better, it felt that u owned someone with a pistol instead of this big 'ole rifle(BR55). but i like the pistol more because u dont expense all of ur ammo as quick as the BR55. . .

The BR55 holds 36 rounds, which is not divisible by five. >_>

As for the topic- the BR55 and M6D are essentially the same, relative to the game they are in. But I prefer the M6D.

BR takes 4 full shots not 3.

It seems too many people don't remember or never knew that's how it often went, when you're playing against anyone remotely capable that is.

I've seen it! You have to get every single bullet dead on! It's near impossible, but none-the-less, possible. Maybe not on XBL but it's posslble.

You're dead wrong bansheeownz. Believe me I've done it on split screen with a second controller and fired point blank on a standing target with no chance that a bullet could miss. It takes EXACTLY four bursts every single time. Three burst doesn't even break the shield let alone kill.

I think that the only reason we believe the pistol to be "overpowered" is because of it's skin. If it was skinned as a rifle, it wouldn't be as bad. Look at the rounds it fires. 12.7mm semi-armor piercing high explosive rounds compared to the br's 9.5mm. if you break it down, the pistol is alot stronger than the B.R. but most people only complain because its a pistol. If the BR shot rounds like that, we wouldn't be complaining. The pistols TSK is only because of it's ammo.

BR definitly sun

More acurate, good for med. range sniping, and good for close up

The BR is more accurate because there's a big ass magnet on it that attracts it to the other guys head. Learn to aim. The Pistol is just as accurate, and way more deadly since it is more powerful. When you think about it, the BR holds the same amount of ammo. Divide 36 by 3 and you get 12. The Pistol holds more ammo too since it has 120 total rounds compared to the BR's 108.

I think you mean M6D.

M6D, right here. I like putting out less rounds and conserving ammunition, especially when the battle rifle can only hold 108 rounds max.
This is pretty much on every map, save for Battle Creek. I don't have the quick reaction to snap off three shots when some guy jumps at me.
In that case, plasma pistol and AR (and grenades) for the win!

From the ashes

I like the M6D since it has power and it's the only handgun that has had a scope on it so far. I'll have to go with the BR though, I find it useful when facing my friends or taking out the flood.

The scope is intergrated into MC's suit, not on the pistol.
