Subject: Better question.... WHY SO MANY BR MATCHES!!

Why is almost every match BR or Snipers??? I suck at those matches.. Doesn't help I got used to Halo 3 and never played the new levels till the beta was over. Spawn points suck too.. im usually right next to people. Sorry bout all the complaining. Had to vent!

how do you expect to be the top 64 players if you cant even use a br or snipe
there in there cause they take skill and make it so you have a chance when you spawn

BR is everywhere unfortunately. I'm hoping 3 doesn't rely nearly as much on it as 2 does. Host is a pain in the rear, especially at a distance. Other than that, it is meh, sometimes frustrating when you get stuck spawning on the bottom repeatedly in tombstone.

why because it balances the -blam!- game. Get the -blam!- over it and stop complaining. just get better piece of -blam!-

The BR is so prevalent in Matchmaking because it is really the only other feasible option for a starting weapon excluding the SMG. Because the SMG is too weak to be an adequate starting weapon while the BR is too powerful (as can be noted from Bungie's rejection of both in favor of somewhat of a hybrid in Halo 3), Bungie had to pick the lesser of two negatives, and starting with a weapon that is too powerful will always be more balanced than starting with one that isn't strong enough.

While neither the SMG nor the BR are preferable spawn-weapons, there are no other suitable candidates, and it is more or less accepted as a fact that the battle rifle is by far the more balanced.

Agreed. I am so tired of the BR and Sniper rifle. I can snipe, I can use a BR, I just dont want to be forced to do so every damned game. I havent been able to play a regular game on ascension in months, almost a year I think. I love that map, I hate sniping on it, and using the BR.

BR won't be as annoying in H3, because anyone with a half decent shot can out-Carbine someone with a BR. The only reason BR is everywhere in H2 is because of the button glitches (I won't bring my opinion into this), making the BR pretty advantagous over many others.

Host will always be a problem with ANY Live game.

Tombstone & Desolation are both garbage IMO, particularly Desolation. Also, I agree- the spawn points are miserable.

It's fine that way. BR starts are better and more balanced anyways. If your not good with it, lower your sensitivity and practice with it. It equalizes the game well enough to where you can potentialy win the game back agaisnt people with battle rifles.

Plus, it helps with bad spawns. If your team has bad spawns and the opposing team gets all the weapons, the chances of you getting even are so slim, its ridiculous. And that's with playing against teams with EQUAL skill level.
