There are two big problems with the BR, weapon glitches and its too accurate. On host you can kill someone from half map on coag with the BR. Also weapon glitches which make the game unfair, this is the biggest problem. Many people call these glitches "skills". They are not skills they are cheating, read the xbox live terms or ask bungie. And in halo 3 these so called "skills" will not be available, so these people who exploit the glitches will be useless.

what are you gonna do in halo 3? you'll have no skill. you will try to BxR and get screwed. The shotgun takes more skill then pressing 2 buttons and pulling the right trigger.

Most people depend on button combo. Once they go onto halo 3 whats going to happen? RRX doesn't do a thing! They will get kill more then they used to. Thus it will take More skill to Play halo 3. I don't mean to make enemies, I am just trying to state a point. I have little against button combos. I'm sure most people use them they can do as they wish. Well, goodbye.

Even if people didn't use button combos, they would still beat you. Stop talking.

Hey, I never said I was good, did I? I never said i would beat anyone. You simply dodged the main point, which is in this case, don't rely on button combos.

First of all, just because people use them doesn't mean they rely on them. Second, your point about H3 taking more skill because there will be no button combos is horrible, because you have never played the final version of H3, and you dont know what other glitches could be in there, and there will be most likely be more glitches in H3 that will be exploited.

I would have to agree with you there. There probably will be more glitches exploited, etc, but they may not (and probably WILL not) be glitches that increase the firing rate of the Battle Rifle. Bungie (obviously) knows about the BXRing and RRXing and whatever the heck the glitches are and they are probably going to eliminate the glitches and make sure they don't come back because they have already been a problem.

Another thing to note is that the Battle Rifle WILL take more skill not because there may not be button glitches anymore, but because they are toning the auto aim down. Bungie themselves said that they WILL be toning it down to make it take more skill to use (or something close to that). So there's something to talk about, too. =]

Flagra why are you playing on coag in the first place? Do you think host BR would have it harder when you spawn with an smg? No they would kill you over and over without giving you the chance a BR start would. And most who complain about weapon glitches choose not to learn them or do not have the skill to do them. Bungie was the one who allowed button glitches.

In Halo 2, the weaksauce SMG in most gametypes is spawning weapon. This is both good and bad. Good because at the start of the game, before you get to all the power weapons, everyone has a SMG you are all equal. Bad, because once people get their hands on a power weapon... lets see who will win... a BR or an SMG? SMG's have no long range potential whatsoever. A BR will win most likely and, when you compare the SMG to all the other power weapons (i.e Brute Shots, Rockets, Plasma pistols+ SMG combo) an SMG by itself is no good. When you have a BR, things change. The game will be somewhat balanced but with a catch. 3 people BR the guy with a sword, brute shot, etc. the guy will get pwned as sure as a rooster crows in the morning. However, if he brings other friends, THATS a problem and also, getting BR'ed by 3 other people is also instant death for you. With BR's, its a numbers game. Maybe if your pro with it, then numbers won't be a problem for you.

Incorrect. I'd know from experience, the lack of button glitching in Halo 3 was pretty nice, but it didn't hinder my playing style at all. Granted, my playing style doesn't revolve around glitches, but whos does?

People get BxR's maybe three or four times a game. Team work and strategies are much more important. A BxR isn't going to do anything when you have 3 people shooting at you at the same time.

Thus it will take More skill to Play halo 3. .

Halo 3 will take a bit more skill to play. But that's not because there aren't any button glitches.

About the topic, I agree the SMG is a terrible spawning weapon. People don't realize this until they face teams who know how to set up and you can do nothing but complain about the pea-shooter you spawn with while you're getting four shotted off the spawn LOL.

I think the BR is a much better starting weapon, but it is a bit too powerful off the spawn. But it's the best weapon to spawn with in this game. Though the Carbine could really be a better weapon for spawning, seeing as how it has less aim assist and is a bit less dominant. But for now, BR starts are the best way of playing balanced Halo 2.

Halo 3's AR forces balance in its own way, and it nails it. I just wish it wasn't such a "spray" weapon (though pumping it works well.)

MLG games are made for one purpose, promoting skill. It takes skill to four shot somebody. It takes no skill to kill somebody with an SMG across the map with a sniper rifle. I'm with you all the way, BR spawn games are just better.
