I've said this once and I'll say this again; keep your personal inability to use the BR out of this discussion.Yeah, Nokterne. Learn how to snipe with the BR. MOOdapiller can do it. Why can't you?
I guess I just don't have what it takes. :(

the BR is the most balanced gun but it's only good if you aim straight at the head

the BR is probably the most skillful gun next to the sniper but the BR is really effective when aim straight at the head ppl complain because they're not using it right

I just realized how awesome wrecking the enemy team with a Focus Rifle from atop the Spire is. It's magical. It's like Concussion Rifle vs Sword/Shotgun.

I killed 2 guys with a BR because the first guy had a rocket launcher and the other had a needler and i killed both guys easily that proves how good it is

Just because you got a double kill does not make it perfect. And Needler vs BR? *Slow Sarcastic Clap* Way to kill that major threat.

I love BR! It's my favorite weapon in Halo 3.

Right after the game came out I complained about this gun sooooo much but now that I can lead shots I like it more :D

I see that Bungie has no intention of bringing back the BR back to its former glory
Watch this video as it pertains and is funny to this thread :D

http://gameroom.mlgpro.com/view/awC5cUtgbOc.html

it's sad because everyone i personally know has just stopped playing halo 3
because of all the changes it brought along, especially the BR, the oversized maps, the horrible spawns, the leading your shots thing, the fact they made EVERYTHING in it slower
spikers suck period, and the list goes on and on

Of all the people on my xbox live "friend's list," most of them have either:
completely stopped playing Halo 3 or have STILL remained playing Halo 2
The remaining few who DO play Halo 3 don't play it as much as they played Halo 2
and i asked everyone one of them which game they preferred...all of them said instantly
Halo 2 without a doubt...we still have some FFA's on Halo 2 on those rare occasions

i remember,
i bought my old original Xbox and got Xbox Live because of Halo 2
it's sad but i found it to be that good of a game

i look at Halo 3 today and i just shake my head...
in my opinion bungie just ruined everything good in Halo

i wont go so far as to say "omg F*%& bungie etc" like that
Dan91 guy but i will just stop playing and purchasing any Halo related
merchandise

i gave Halo 3 a chance because maybe it's an acquired taste you know...but after leveling to 50 i find it was a breeze to do.Any monkey can level to 50 in this game it's just ridiculously easy to do and because it's so simple to do the levels in this game are just meaningless all of those ranks those EXP. points completely meaningless because it doesn't show any skill it just shows how long you've played it and not how good you are.

haha back in halo 2 getting to level 40 was kinda hard and 45+ well you were a beast if you could but then all those cheaters came and the game became ruined

but still FFA's were where it was at...nothing beats the satisfaction you get from Double shotting and opponent twice in succession, BXR, RRX YY RRX, good little glitches that made the game all the more fun and they were hard to master at first but it was just fun to do

i look at Halo 3 today and it's just a letdown no Doubleshot anymore no BXR the battle rifle as weak as it is now...it is STILL the most preffered gun to have it's either that or an Assault rifle honestly thats a no-brainer

bungie i dont mean to say you guys suck and im not saying ^*^* you or anything it's just well you guys let me down and all of the old Halo 2 guys down i shake my head at you guys

halo 3 was for so much more but what it is now its just not my type of game anymore
watch the video and you may just as well understand my frustration with this game abit more
because alot of people have had that done and the BR is destined to be a shadow of it's former self and for me personally well after you've tried silk, cotton simply won't do
(fable quote) :D

halo 3 is just needlesly slow for my taste, everything in it is slowed down from the speed of which the master chief walks to the time it take to shot and shot again everything is just slower

so with that i will just walk out the door (figuratively speaking of course) :D
and i will no longer play halo 3 anymore perhaps some Halo 2 but as for halo 3 its just not fun anymore why play a game thats set in an unrealistic world with unrealistic enemies and then have the gun shots be realistic lol

read the post up above mine by quoted by "Captain_Keyes557"
it basically sets it all in perspective

  • 04.22.2009 11:23 PM PDT

that was actually beautiful.

but in response to the topic, i'm a fan of the br because it's fairly simple to use at long range when you first start playing but once you get to higher skill levels you really need to learn to lead or atleast land enough hits that your teamate can take the person down.
AR rushing just gets you 4-shotted

people who think they have skill with their BR also seem to have skill with rockets, energy swords, banshees, random 'nades and the all mighty needler.

Face it the br takes a bit more skill than most, but not much lucky hit with a nade and then random spray over there head and your dead, or your teammate takes out there shield.

Hmm...
I've been wondering, why AR starts(Team Slayer) have no BR on secondary weapon, and on Team BRs you have AR secondary weapon. It doesn't make any sense. Please remove it from Team BRs. Put Magnum for secondary.

Just so this is clear...Having a BR as a starting weapon PERIOD changes the gameplay to what AR start advocates don't like. This idea only really pleases people who prefer Team BRs. There is no difference whether the BR is primary or secondary; it is still BR starts. It makes more sense to have the more effective weapon as primary, anyway; though, for some reason that doesn't apply to the M6G in AR/M6G starts.

And, as for the M6G secondary in BR starts...THAT would make no sense. Starting with two mid-ranged, headshot capable weapons is actually quite pointless. Though, I would have no problem with it; I would be able to use the M6G without having to go pick it up first. But, a starting duo where both weapons have nearly the same use and effectiveness would in no way improve gameplay. How many times do you see someone use a Carbine in MLG? Rarely, because carrying two similar effective weapons means that one with not be used (in this case, the Carbine since it lacks anti-Sniper effectiveness and the plasma bullets give away your position more).

halo 3 is mediocre at best.

Reach is hot garbage.

People that spend their time wishing for some kind of BR tweak that will make it feel like the Halo 2 BR need to wake up and face reality. The weapon is fine as it is. Yes, it doesn't always register when you shoot someone at a distance but everyone forgets that even at mid-range the Halo 2 BR (and netcode) put you at a disadvantage against the host 100% of the time.

I don't mind the spread itself just the fact it's random and not being player-controlled.

But I won't whine about it even though I wouldn't feel unhappy taking a look into it more properly.

so it is agreed that the Br is the best weapon? right!

so i suggest to you, that it is not a "PRO" weapon because a "PRO" does not need the best weapon to kill, a true pro can snipe with a pistol, point blank with a sniper (not two piece)
collateral with a grenade (not whore the grenades but use the surrounding such as fusion coils and airborne targets off an edge.)
a real "PRO" can use any weapon effectively within its respectable limits (I.E. a plasma pistol to board a vehicle instead of killing or to drain an over-shield, or a rocket to clear enemy territory, not camp in a corner)

if anyone can show me a video where a rocket kills a BR at cross level range (both know of each others position), ill show you a pro. if you can show me someone who can kill a pistol with a Br from across the level, i will show you a coward.

the Br eliminates skill, because it is no longer a players ability to better another but a players capability. a shotgun will never snipe a BR across the map, because the shotgun is incapable of that, therefore the kill is not the players skill., but the player just had a better weapon. although a BR can kill a shotgun at close range, although it is highly unlikly, it is possible. (i have done it my self.)

what happened to the day where people would gloat about humiliating the other team by winning with outlandish conditions? like pistoling someone across the map, or running a victory lap for your last flag capture (driving around the map just to gloat the win.) or playing a game with only beat downs or a handy cap? what happened to showmanship? all i ever hear now is "get four shot!" i question that because isn't it easier to win a fight if you 4 shot? wouldn't it sound better if u said "GET 12 SHOT, i gave you 12 shots worth of time to kill me and u couldn't pull it off!"

personally "get four shot" sounds to me like "HA I'm so insecure of my skill to give you a chance to fight me so i killed you from far away as fast as possible so u couldn't possibly beat me!" id rather hear "id let u empty your first clip before i shot 1 round and i still killed u!"

and I'm tired of hearing "I owned you!" after you get double or more teamed. id rather hear "u double teamed me and i still killed both of you!.

and that last thin thats annoying is weapon control wins. may i allude to "Arby and the Cheif"

"awww man i gatta' get the sword! if the sword isn't there im gana be pissed! YES! i got sword! now for rockets! yes i got rockets! im now i just gata camp here... aww man im soo good, im MLG im a pro, im soo damn good, i cant get over it, aww yeah, im soo good!"

i apologize if i got that quote wrong, its been a while since i seen that show.



I respectfully disagree. Some weapons are better for some situations than others, no arguments there, but it is knowing how and when to utilize a particular weapon that defines skill. For example, mindlessly tossing grenades down a hallway is not skill, but timing a perfect grenade BR is. The tools are important to the game, but it's the mind behind the tools that is important.

You are armed with a splazer and sticky grenades. A Warthog is speeding towards you, very close, the gunner just beginning to rotate in your direction. The splaser could absolutely decimate the 'hog, but you know that the gunner would be fully turned around by the time it charged up, or the warthog would hit and splatter you. The skillful player would opt to tag it with a sticky grenade, as it would be faster. It might not destroy the warthog, but at the very least it would flip the vehicle. You would then have time to charge up the splaser to finish it off without the risk of a turret shredding you.

Know what weapon is best for the job at hand and how best to use it, and you're on your way to becoming skilled.
But if you hit the grenade and his sheild goes down theres a pretty big time to hit him in the head with your random bullet spray across his head, and half the time the grenades thrown are also random.
