Subject: The Only BR Thread

i don't think the problem is with the br. the reason why i get mad over it is because the bullets from the br are pretty much the same as in the ar. they hurt just as bed but the ar is way faster. the br is a slowed down more accurate version of the ar. and sence it is an all around weapon it should be a big stronger. not alot like 3 shot stronger. but just a little big stronger. other than that it's perfect

Unfreakenbelievable!!

ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY PAGES!!!!!!

Just thought I would jump in to make it on this page.

For those who have seen certain posts of mine will know that I ALWAYS put some effort in contributing to the topic at hand. This time? Nope. Particular Bungie staff members, new and old, have given me a good 7+ years of wonderful times. Now, I don't give a -blam!- about this company or their latest product. Recent Weekly Updates will give a clue as to why. But, I have always had problems with certain gameplay aspects of Halo 3.

Ah, holy hell. I'll say one thing about the BR. "It is fine the way it is." Sorry, I couldn't help myself. That overlyused comment always brings a smile to my face.

Once I close this tab on my browser, which has been up since eternity, Bungie and their website will just be a memory. Have fun, for anyone who actually sees something good with this company and game. The one string that was keeping me on here was the M6G Magnum, but I guess it wasn't strong enough to hold under the forces that arose with Bungie's new directions. /finalbungienetrant

That phrase seems to be the mantra of casual and passive gamers. Where would gaming be if everyone followed that line of thinking?

And good post, I definitely echo some of those feelings. Here's hoping we see a few changes in the way Bungie does things now that they have split from Microsoft.

I like the BR just the way it is.

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

I feel the same way


agree

Uniform stagnant filth, subculture with no remorse or guilt. Feeding the frenzy of fears, it feeds on it's young for years...

no more spawning with the br. it's too poweful to give it to everyone right off the bat. if you find one, great. startting with the assault rifle is just fine.

  • 05.29.2009 10:29 AM PDT

i think the BR should stay the same way it is now.

although i do think the BR should be the default weapon !

It's just that some people either:
-Don't think the BR spread is that big of a problem.
or
-Feel that changing it would be detrimental with gameplay.

It is fine the way it is, and I don't say that because I don't care, I say it because I do care, and I feel that tightening it's spread and/or increasing BR starts would be detrimental.

That being said, at least it is working as it was intended. That means it is not broken, some people just disagree with the way it was designed.

So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

The difference between you and me is that you are content with things being "fine" or "as it was intended" and I am never content with things being "fine". I use my very detail-oriented nature and perfectionism to look toward making improvements. That is what I intend to do with my life; I'm not just gonna sit back and agree with everything that comes my way.

If you did care, then you would find that there are obvious problems with the BR's design. Even some of the biggest Bungie supporters dislike certain design aspects of that weapon. "Fine" is a word used by someone who is indifferent or has an attitude of the "whatever" variety. "Fine" does indeed mean you don't care. With that feeling, there is no way to progress. Those who complain are much more helpful to society than those who always say things are fine.

The future is very important to me, and I am not going to let someone like yourself tell me that saying something is "fine" is ok; it is not. Push foward to tomorrow and quit being content with today.

Unfortunately for me and others, in my eyes, Halo has gone backwards in terms of gameplay design. Problems that weren't present in Halo:CE became present in the later installments. I believe you should improve on what you have; not create more problems like what Bungie did with the latter. That is what Bungie did when Halo 2 came out. Then, with Halo 3 they tried to fix these issues which then created other problems. They didn't really move foward as far as gameplay, IMO.

The only element in Halo 3 that I would even come close to considering it as "fine" would be the Sniper, and that is because the bullet trajectories and whether a bullet connects on the target are all controlled by the players (in good connectivity conditions); not some in code random number generator.

I believe that Bungie's map design team had some of this "fine" attitude. It was like they just threw something on paper and then created it; forgetting about what makes a map well designed. But, I bet they were saying "Oh how pretty". Unfortunately, prettiness isn't what makes a map fun; and in some cases, graphical detail can deter from the gameplay.

And, the job that Shishka and his team does is another problem altogether.

There are poor choices of design with Halo 3; alot actually, no doubt. I just wish people like you and anyone who has ever posted "it is fine" or "suck it up" in a thread would realize that there a ways to make improvements and look into the future. I have even seen Employees with this attitude and it makes me sick.

Sorry, for my lecture. Just be glad I was nice enough to apologize; I'm not in a really good state with Bungie and their community. Be careful with your wording if you reply; I may get really offensive. (I'll try not to, but there are no guarantees. ;)

Lol until 2/3 of the bullets MISS on LAN. That is why this topic exists.

I dont see how anyone can say the BR takes skill to use all you need to do is aim at the guys head and shoot, its really not that hard, it even tells you when you are looking at his melon. stop whining about it, its barely a power weapon, and the new changes to it dont even matter that much.
