The BR is probably the most broken weapon I have ever seen in any FPS/TPS/RPG.
That's counting Knights of the Rounds from Final Fantasy 7.
That includes the crossbow in Bioshock.
That extends to Rail Gun in Red Faction.
Any weapon that takes that little of skill to use and can take someone from half shields to dead needs to be removed.
It ruined SWAT, SWAT brs is a joke.
Bungie, the Battle Rifle ruined online. I realize other weapons would be whored just as much.
Remove it, if only for a week or two. Let's see who's good, and who's nothing but a whore.

I don't have any problems with the rifle. But sometimes when I get my opponent down to no shields, and i have like half shields, and i whip out my BR, and somehow i lose. It looks like im shooting him straight in the head, but I end up losing.

The BR should no be edited because it's perfect the way it is and the BR is my second favourite weapon right after the sword

If people haven't noticed it's mostly the high level players who dislike the random factor of the BR and the lower level players who love the assault rifle and hate the BR. The lower level players should practice more with the precision weapons in the game and they will improve drastically and maybe come to understand the reasons for players feeling unhappy about the current situation. It is the assault rifle which has limited their rank because better players can overcome it however they choose to stick with it because Bungie made it too easy to use.

The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

I haven't noticed that because there is no fact to prove that.

i don't want the BR changed but it's mostly because there are so many suggestion's from so many people it's a fifferent story all the time.

If the arguments were more "consistent" and less random maybe i would change my mind.

I like the BR just the way it is.

I really don't see what's wrong with it.

Well actually, my original post listed the AR as short range, BR as medium range and Sniper as long range. I changed it for my post because that is what I believe it to be. To see my original post, check the top of page 12.


The BR works fine at Medium distance.

Not broken? How ignorant can you be! You say that the BR's intended range is 18-20WU's away, but then say that it works perfectly in that distance? Berserka, may I ask how often you actually pick up a BR? You've hardly played Halo over the last few months, so I begin to wonder whether your argument stems from actual gameplay and experience, or are you merely following Bungie. The BR does not work in its intended range, and if you decided to play in the MLG playlist, you would notice this. The spread of the AR doesn't need to be changed, it works perfectly in its intended range. The spread of the Sniper doesn't need to be changed, it works perfectly in its intended range. The Battle Rifle does not work at its intended range, which is, as you keep saying, 18-20WU's.

Really? The BR doesn't work at this range? That's really weird since I seem to consistently get kills at this "medium" distance. I pick up the BR consistently. I use it all the time. This isn't my only Gamertag. I use a lot of them. I made it to a 30 in the MLG playlist the week after it was released and decided that it was boring, monotone, and pointless. So I've seen the BR in pretty much every situation so far and still don't see a problem with it.

I'm sorry BakedPotato. You're wrong. I've shown you why you're wrong. The problem comes down to the point that your perception of the weapon is wrong. *You* are broken.

I'm sorry Berserka, the weapon is broken, and maybe if you actually played Halo and used the Battle Rifle you would notice this.

Yeah, the 10,000 kills I have with the BR in Halo 3 means I have no idea how the BR works. It means that since I've used it so much I understand why it IS NOT broken. Here's a tip. Try to actually put something of worth if you reply to me instead of resorting to ad hominems about how you *think* I haven't played Halo 3 or used the BR. You're the type of person who thinks their opinion is worth more than others. And you certainly haven't given me a single reason why to think your opinion is worth anything.

You know, if people could just aim for the head better, the Carbine becomes more powerful than the BR...

Edited for typo.

Yes, I'm a furry. And yes, I like men. So what?

If you look at my S.R., my ultimate tool of destruction is the Battle Rifle. Bungie made it PERFECT. It helped me rank up from recruit to sergeant in less than two days. Good job, guys.

  • 07.04.2008 4:57 PM PDT

The Assault Rifle? Close quarters with an opponent who has a very weak shield/ no shield only for me. I had to learn that the hard way.

-I go so fast, mother nature is like "slow down!" and I'm like "-blam!- you!" and kick her in the face with my ENERGY LEGS!!!
-Like custom games, join the Universal Gametypes Group, where all games are for all maps.
-I am lawless and stealthy, I live by the sword and above the law. I am a pirateninja.

When I first started playing halo 3, I did immediately notice a difference in the BR. But really, I didn't care. I just continued using it as it was, and very quickly became completely used to it. I know it's not exactly the same, but honestly, do you really care? Just use the damn gun. If you don't like it, use a different gun. Just don't complain. Bungie has explained why things are the way they are.

I am flatterd that you botherd to look at my signature.

it's not unfair when every body has one..and it's like every other weapon....every weapon is over powerd when used correctly

Any good player would adapt to the BR, not whine and complain about it.
