To play or not to play....

The BR is fine the way it is. I don't understand why people complain so excessively about it.


Some people complain excessively about everything. Usually they are the problem though.

it's great long range, no doubt, but it's lacking in comparison in it's short game...

the BR is fine, and i think, is one of the top weapons in the game, yknow, like top ten, top eight

its got great long range
same with medium
and its a great combo weapon with short range weapons, like if you have a BR and an energy sword, youve basicly got it made with the weapons.

One must learn to master the BR, lest they be owned.


Poetry aside, the BR is one of my top picks for best weapon in videogame history. It works well at close, medium, far, and [i]really[i] far distances if you're good enough.

One memory I'll always cherish throughout my gaming days was a battle I emerged victorious from thanks to the BR. Out of nowhere a dude with a rocket launcher comes with killer intent. Unwilling to admit myself to defeat, I leaped up and dodged a rocket. While I whittled away his life the guy just couldn't get a hit on me. He quickly ran out of rockets and I finished him off.

I can out br everyone. tehe, its true!
add me on xbl my gamertag is: sSENSE
people like this are what takes up a good margin of this forum. No one cares really it just says you basicaly can't use any other weapon even somewhat well



and this is coming from a kid whose tod is a beatdown which most likely means you shoot and melee with the assrifle and shotgun
the ONLY guns that that kid prob sucks at is the hammer and glowstick
but i bet you anything that him and me could beat you with those too
just bc you suck with the br doesnt mean everyone else sucks at the guns you use
i have more brs kills than u moron......... wow horrid insult




wow are you serious? idk about everyone else but that right there makes me think you are completely retarded!
your tod is a beat down
mine is a br
you might have more br kills than me, (which btw you dont learn how to count)
but thats bc youve played 6000 games!
i have only played 1000
your br percentage is 15
mine is 48
idk if your smart enough to realize what that means so ill tell you so you dont have to strain your strain too much
if we both only had 100 kills 48 of mine are with a br and only 15 of yours are with a br
epic fail on trying to tear me down kid, keep trying tho, maybe one day youll make get me :]

He brings up great points. The only reason you are saying that is because you are one of those whiny little brats that he's talking about. The BR I've found to be the perfect tool of destruction. Deal with it.

I guess thats because it actually takes skill to use the magnum, more skill than the BR by far in fact. How many shots does it take with a BR to clean up a one shot who doesn't have their back turned? One or two even if some bullets don't register. With the magnum you don't have 3 bullets spreading out all auto-aiming the target per shot.

More and more I find myself stuck in Team BR or Slayer BR. When FORCED to play these game types I use the other weapons in the game exclusively. I do not like being told to only play with this one weapon or how did that eleven year old phrase it, oh yeah I'm a "Spray and Prayer." If I absolutely must play a team or slayer br game then I usually spend the majority of the map just lobbing nades randomly. Either that or I try to get as many assasinations as humanly possible.

Don't get me wrong the BR is a fine weapon, its just I'm tired of MY gameplay being chosen by some group of guys who don't play halo, they work it like I work my job. That's why I stay out of the mlg playlist, its just too stale in there. I personally prefer the carbine if I have to use a rifle but I usualy just love to use dual smgs blazing into the middle of their formation.

The BR is perfectly fine the way it is.People who want it changed back into the ultimate WMD of halo 2 should just play halo 2 again or stop complaining and practice with it. I didn't like the Sniper reticule but I practiced and learned to live with it. Do the same with the BR in custom games or something.

It does take a moderate amount of skill which cant be said for the sword which takes almost zero skill. You do have to aim fairly precisely however the bullets do auto aim a bit, there's certainly no way you can 4 shot someone without the centre of the reticle on their head/upper chest. In halo 2 the hitscan actually meant that you could aim 2 feet to one side and 4 shot someone.

You're misunderstanding the video completely, it shows the spread of the BR but only 1 perhaps 2 bullets hit at mid-long range when you aim that far to one side. The problem with this is that it doesn't penalise the lesser skilled players that much and they can still land several shots, especially when it comes to headshots it is not hard enough to finish opponents.

But you are sorely mistaken if you dont think the BR is one of the most skilled weapons in halo 3. The only other weapons that rival and probably surpass it are the carbine, magnum and sniper rifle.

EDIT: I assumed you were referring to a video linked on the first page I'm not sure how that update shows the BRs ease of use.
