The vast majority of these people that are saying they like the BR as it is probably don't play the game as much as they sit on this forum. They don't enjoy MLG settings because a greater skill and team talk is envolved. They are social gamers, gamers that pick the game up and play for about 4-6hours a week. Sure there is nothing wrong with that, after all they did buy your game and their voice should be heard.
I like the BR. however, I'm not part of this vast majority. I love the MLG settings and I really want more emphasis on BR starts in all the gametypes, but both you and I know that isn't going to happen.
Don't judge me by my service record, I only recently discovered the joys of MLG gaming and the challenges it has to offer. The BR has always worked fine for me, and I have no complaints about the way it works.
The thing is say its a short to medium battle when I've been beat in a 1v1 I don't want to think that last shot he got on me on his screen was a miss but because of the horrible spread one of his bullets clipped my head. And where as if I'm aiming at the center of his head I don't want a nasty spread where my bullets go past his ears.
If I remember correctly, in a short to mid range BR battle (meaning snipe 2 to under glass, about that range being mid) the weekly update states that at that range or shorter, your bullets can only have a maximum margin of error than less than one foot, meaning that if you are leading shots correctly or aiming at the center of your opponent's head while both of you are stationary, the BR WILL kill your opponent with four headshots, every single time. The first bullet in the packet is enough to kill your opponent. therefore, as long as your aim is true, you won't have a terrible spread that will make bullets fly past ears. all your bullets will connect
In your update you talked about what has changed from halo 2, I don't see anyone complaining about you having to lead your shots that makes sense. I'm sorry but in your update your chat was like a weasling way out. People don't want a sniper for a BR they just want the gun to work consistently at medium to short range. We're not looking for a 4 shot from Narrows cannon to cannon.
You could meet the fans half way. Make a patch for th BR but only include it in the MLG and SWAT playlist. This wouldn't effect your view of balance for the other gametypes. And a patch that could be turned on for customs.
your solution is a lot simpler than my projected one. To do this to the BR, bungie programmers would have to make the BR packet spread reasonably tight to mid range, and than make it spread randomly after [x] amount of world units. [x] being anything more than however many world units are considered mid range. if that doesn't make sense to you, i can explain it a little more in a PM or something. this is basically saying that up to mid range, the BR will be pretty darn accurate. anything after that, the bullets start to fly crazily. talk about programming complications. This would allow the BR to function nicely at mid range or shorter, but there is no way it could be used as a sniper.
Personally, though, i see no problems with the BR when i play MLG...But thats just my take on it.
DAMN that was long. hahaha.
AND YES, DON'T FORGET!!!
personal opinion plays a big part on whether or not you say you like the BR.
