I think that they should make it starting weapon random. That makes for interesting games. You could be loosing by several points and then spawn with a rocket launcher and the entire game could change. It is quite fun.

I have to say that after only a few weeks of xbox live I am bored with the SMG and the Battle Rifle. I want there to be something new.

I sort of agree with this guy. The Battle Rifle is a very cheap weapon in some cases, and so is the Carbine, but the Battle Rifle is cheaper. The Battle Rifle is also a great weapon too. If you think the SMG is the best weapon stop drinking to much.

Tmarsvolta must be really stupid, but u know what? if he thinks that the BR is cheap, the SMG is the best weapon, and the rockets and swords are fair weapons, then please, play someone 1v1 without BR's on the map, but CARBINES on the map, and u can have the smg, we'll see how good you'll do against a real pro, i would take you on myself, but unfortunately, i dont have live anymore, so ill have someone else do this for me.

They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

This is so old, why are we even talking about this anymore? The BR has its place, and has fullfilled its role very well. If we were to take out weapons because we thought that they were cheap, we would only play with magnums (and even then.....).

  • 06.30.2007 7:19 PM PDT

Greatest of all time

i hate people who complain about the br.....

1. bxb can be used with any weapon

2. dodging a bxr is easier then actually doing it

3. it is almost impossible to kill a moving target with a double shot, only person i have seen do it is shockwav3 from carbon

I agree the BR is two accurate and powerful. Its not cheap but i does take the fun out of alot of match making games. I am god with it to but it gets old two be double shooted from behind.

I would have to agree that the BR is the cheapest weapon in the game. I'm up for taking it out of matchmaking entirely and maybe even the game cause the weapon is so darn screwed up like me being killed in 2 shots which I don't think is possible without glitching. I've had so many issues with the game its become annoying like i shoot someone ten times with it in the head or near it and they don't die which is really frustrating to someone who likes to have a fair game. Everyone seems to be able to kill me with it either I'm doing something wrong or its a really glitchy gun. I hope to see it removed from the matchmaking system.

Br is boring. Its not cheap unless you're host, but it does make games pretty boring.

Ranged Sentinel beam kills take skill. The thing shoots perfectly straight with no deviation, so you have to aim perfectly to land hits, otherwise the fire 'hits' them for no damage.

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!


People like you complaining alot is the reason why the Pistol was nerfed.

i don't like dual weapons they change the whole game thats why i like that bungie is bringing back the assault rifle for halo 3. even though it now has a much more shallow clip it packs a huge punch bungie reported that you are guaranteed a kill if you could keep the bullets on your opponent. and still like have 13 bullets left in the clip and if things get to close you could still melee your enemies a thing that you cant do with dual wields. and im glad the battle rifle is staying for halo 3 im glad that all guns from halo 2 are coming back and that bungie is introducing new(and awesome)weapons. and any ways learn to use the br in h2 and maybe you will like it

i like the br, except wen everyone has it. so i dont like games like mlg. but i think the br should have the same size clip, but takes like 6 shots to kill someone. in fact the reason why i stopped playing hardcore is that most games are team slayer BR. and if everyone has a br then its not fun at all. personally i love games with all random weapons.

1. The br is a fun gun that takes alot of skill to master. I wouldn't mind playing a whole game with just brs on the map
2. Your right the br is overpowering, but there are ways to take it out (smg+plasma rifle Snipers and swords).
3. I agree that it does need to be toned down because it does take balance away from the game, even without button glitches
