I've been playing halo and halo 2 ever since they first came out, and this term "BXR" is new to me. Can someone explain please.

Ah your referring to the "noob combo," the battle rifle and plasma pistol? I knew all about that, didn't know it was called BXR now.

It just means you melee someone with a BR, with a full clip, then press X to skip the delay there normally is, then fire at their head, and if you can pull it off, kills people in a fraction of a second

  • 07.07.2007 11:25 AM PDT

no, bxr is a button glitch where you press B to melee and then follow that with X to cancel the melee animation and then R to fire the weapon. Cancelling the melee animation speeds up the interval before you can fire your weapon but the melee will still hit and when you follow with an immediate burst from your battle rifle it is an instant kill if you are an accurate shot which isn't very difficult because the melee with lunge you towards your opponent and so the shot will be from point blank

and yes you need to do it with a full clip otherwise pressing X after the melee with throw you into the reload animation which will ruin the sequence by costing you valuable time and most likely your life as well

I was trying to hwlp you and s not funny but IA chating pal on matthcmaking

My last thread: Why Reach Sucks

<3 Foman

You hit B to smack, X to reload and cancel the animation, and then R to instantly shoot. It happens because if you goto smack and hit X, it will reload, but when there's a full clip it just cancels the animation. But yes it's a glitch and bungie looks at it as cheating. I personally think all the button combos add depth to the game, but I guess that's just me and the competetive players who care about a more intense gameplay.

It's not cheating if everyone can do it you just got to practise..And i agree it does give depth to the game kinda like in fighting i think they need more of this type stuff for when your close.

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

And anyone can Mod, Standbye and Bridge aslong as you practice.

The fact is exploiting glitches like BXR is against the Xbox Live Terms of Use and as such is cheating acoording to Bungie and Microsoft.

The combo and the energy sword is not a glitch, they are actual weapons, BXR is a glitch, something that was not meant to be in the game.

Your argument is very, very, very, very, very, very, very flawed.

if it was cheating, dont you think they would of took it off???? and noone has ever got banned for doing it, glitches arent cheating,


1. They can't remove it, unless if you want Bungie to order a massive Halo 2 disc recall.

2. KP was banned for a week for using button glitches.

3. Glitches are cheating.


From Achronos himself.

That's some absurd logic you have there... "external, not everyone can do it." Both modding and BXR are the same thing - a bug in the game allows you do things that are not supposed to happen in the context of the game's normal rules.

Again - our rule is simple: glitch exploiting is cheating. Modding is glitch exploiting. Superjumping is glitch explotiing. Animation interrupting is glitch exploiting. Etc.

You seem be trying to place some kind of relative ranking to how "serious" an exploit is, and that determines if it is cheating. If that is the case, then the only people who get to decide such a "ranking" are the people who run the sandbox you're playing in (us if your on Live, MLG if you're at a tournment of theirs, or you if you're on your own LAN). In that case, I'm right, and animation glitches like BXR are an exploit and are cheating.

Here's the fun part - if we're not going by "ranking the exploit" and instead apply a standard policy, I'm STILL right and BXRs and such are cheating, because we TOLD you this policy when you got an Xbox Live account (read the terms of use).

Now, I'm really sorry this seems sudden to you, but as you've already indicated... you don't play in our sandbox (Matchmaking), so it really doesn't matter that you don't like what we think about those glitches. In the hypothetical, though, you're going to need a better argument than the ones you've been presenting so far.

yea but it could be a glitch for certain maps cuz most times if someone has the sword they get the most kills and dominate so it depends on who spawns closer same with rockets now if you had sword and i have a br and i know you can easily kill me when i'm close so i need a defence for that.

If I sent in a video of me BXRing someone to Bungie, I would not get banned.

Again your logic is flawed, the sword is not a glitch, BXR is a glitch.

If you want to defend yourself from the Sword guy, walk away from him and shoot, don't cheat to kill him.

Congratulations on your discovery of Overlay.

DOES THIS MEAN HALO 3 IS MADE BY BUNGIE?!?

Wow, there are some sensible people here. They have stated that it's cheating, but they can't just just recode the Havok engine now. That was never their engine to begin with. You people depends on these glitches to play, and it's sad.

Bungie Ninjas has also stated that by fixing this glitch, they might cause more problems in the game.

lol walk away thats' funny i never said the sword was a glitch but having the sword on small maps is stupid because whoever spawn nears it dominates the game in my opinion that's a glitch lol,same with rockets now like i said don't you think you should have a better defence for when that guy with the rockets or sword happens to be waiting around the corner all because they spawned near it?Or give up and let him kill you

Dude, are you -blam!- serious? Did you really just compare Modding and Standbying to BxRing? Good -blam!- job.


Anybody can BxR at any given time without doing anything to there xbox at all. You have to be host to standby or mod (effectively) and you have to have ZoneAlarm and other programs to do it. BxR just requires you to press 3 simple buttons at anytime. No host or modifications required. Besides, its so wide spread that its basically a part of the game.

Its only cheating in MM or if the host says it is (witch none will). MLG is played on LAN so it makes it own rules because it is not effected by the XBL ToU.
