The Battle Riffle aka BR is the cheapest weapon in Halo 2 and should be taken out of matchmaking. It is the most glitchiest weapon ever, making it the cheapest. We all know the BR takes the fun out of Halo 2 Online, so let's get the SMG back to starting weapon and take out the BR completely. Remember the good ol' days with SMG start, best med. range weapon ever. LET'S DO IT FOR THE SMG!

My last thread: Why Reach Sucks

<3 Foman

Do you play glitch games and do sword matches in customs too? The BR is versatile and many times more skillful than smg's. It has it's uses, you obviously don't know how to use all the weapons if you think everyone gets dominated by the BR, and most of its glitches are definately not fool proof, especially if you just BXB with any weapon you have and don't run in straight lines. If you would like lessons on anything, let me know. I've taught a lot of people, and i'm sorry if i've come across as a bit biased, but people who are anti-BR are usually the lower echolon of players.

sword and rockets aren't cheap. their probaly the most fair of them all.

because it's not true? The SMG is a spray weapon where it takes very little skill to kill someone with it. The carbine, IMO, is the weapon that takes the most skill to kill someone with..

Rockets are cheapppppp believe me how would you like it if you were just about to get a killamonjaro and someone blasts you with a rocket Ok well thats one time but every map theres a sword everyone grabs in to use the game I personally think it should be toned down at least a bit...

I for one think the BR makes Halo 2 matchmaking fun. That's my opinion. You have your own opinion, and I respect that. However, it's not like Bungie's going to take out the BR entirely, because that would be pretty stupid. So, you're gonna have to deal with it. Besides, BR starts aren't all that common anyways.

I'm not going to agree with the BR being cheap, but I will agree that it should be taken out of matchmaking entirely or toned down a LOT.

Duals take far more skill than people seem to realize.

The Battle Rifle really makes Halo2 a one-dimensional game. Host becomes much more of a crutch when the Battle Rifle is in play. Duals almost entirely lose their usefulness. BRs become almost the only thing you CAN use unless they're REALLY rare.

Honestly, if you took the BR out, Snipers would be unfair, so my suggestion is to make BRs less common by a LOT except on the very large levels, or make the BR far less accurate. But if you do that, you have to make sniper rifles less accurate.
Changing the physics of the whole game is the only way to make the game 3-dimensional and still fair at the same time.

A lot of the comments in this topic are really biased, ignorant, and to an extent, stupid. But that's only to be expected.

I have absolutely no problem with the batltle rifle. I can always make something happen with my trusty br.

↨↨↨Im the TedyBearOfDeath you should be scared.↨↨↨

Just because people who have skill with a BR can own you doesnt mean its cheap. even if there were no BXRs or doube shots the BR would still be a strong weapon. if u think the BR is cheap because it is strong then the Rockets, Sword, and Sniper are all cheap by your standards. What i think is that u need to stop complaining and learn to use all the weapons on the map and you should be able to beat people with any weapon.

No Weapon is Cheap

in my opinion, i do think the br is sorta cheap because its really no fun, in game of br only if ur walking and someone sees u first and they start shooting you ur dead, but with the smg and dual-wields it requires more skill, and the only reason everyone likes the br is the fact that the br is the easest way to kill someone, thank god that bungie has changed all that crap in halo 3.

Yes, lets take out the br, infact lets take out every weapon except for the needler, and then change it so the needler shoots flowers at each other and who ever spreads the most loving sprees wins the game.

Yeah this guy has to be joking. I mean, a 23 in Hardcore isn't ........."great" (it's good though, but not great heck I'm a 24) but he has played more than enough Hardcore games to not mean what he's saying.

Good joke though, definitely had me until I went back and saw FK's post.

I love how everyone here thinks this guy is a joke.

The lack of intelligent response to his original post is why this is the laughing stock of all Halo 2 discussions.

I'm great with the BR, and I still adhere to what I posted earlier in this thread.
I'm good at the game in general. And after more than 10,000 games, I can safely say that I hate the Battle rifle and the carbine. I think they put an element in the game that does not belong. They should still be there, but not nearly as powerful or accurate. Or their clips should be much more limited.

People immediately assume that this guy hates the BR because he's bad.
So narrow-minded.
