I dont know how many of you actually notice this, but the reason everyone "whines" about the H3 BR is because the random spread causes dropped shots. Everyone can deal with the random spread, it's the fact that when you're shooting someone and your bullets dont register on the opponent, it becomes very frustrating. This allows for online warriors with a slightly lower ping to turn around and kill you when you have 3 shots in his back and the next 4 dont register on his head. No one is asking for a change in the BR, just for a shooter to allow its players to "SHOOT". Yes, even on a LAN the shots do not register EVERY time like they should. I'm sure a lot of you have even noticed that sometimes your rockets or sniper don't register when you clearly shoot someone. I think more than anything, people who complain about the BR just want a game that is 100% functional. Next time you notice the opponents shields not flaring up when you are shooting them, look at your clip and watch as the bullets go back in.

Yea this is true. But the BR does function differently than in H2. The non registering shots isnt the only reason people complain about the BR. BUt you do have a point

You do have a better chance of taking down your enemys shield if you aim first of all for the torso and finnish off with a headshot. Easy as pie. ='D

How about its a game. B.R. what ever is a part of the game. Since its a game who cares? Grow up or ask your mom to buy you a new game. Like COD what ever where shots miss and don't register. Or any online game.

The BR is the best weapon in halo 3.Not the best like that. But better than AR if you no how to use it.

I think the BR is awesome i dont see y u need to change it just cause a few ppl aren't good enough to get headshots with it

Well, that is not always the case. Halo 2 fans often complain about the changes that were made to this weapon in Halo 3.
The other ones usually complains about how unfair it is to be killed by an enemy that manages to take out the shield with only 4 bursts, whilst he himself is weilding the Battle Rifle and hits nothing but air. Hence, I do agree with you my good sir. These people need more practice. Or another tactic.

Apparently you don't understand the competitive side of gaming. If someone wants to play to win, they are required to use the weapons that will get them a win. In this game, it is near impossible to get any respectable rank without using the BR. People have every right to complain about the game design if they feel that something is wrong. When games are made and updates are released by the makers, then it an obligation to voice opinions based on what they feel the game should be like. I use the BR, I have a very good BR, and I still let Bungie know what I think the BR should be like. And another thing, which pretty much trumps what you said. A Bungie employee made this thread to see what the community thinks, so as far as I am concerned, statements like yours are simply trolling seeing that the objective of this thread is to hear opinions.

And if you read my large post on page 157 you might understand why I feel the way I do. To simplify, A person with perfect aim can lose a BR duel to a person without perfect aim.

Off topic-ish: Okay, this is a thread about the BR, not a thread about MLG vs Bnet. It's sad that every time someone mentions anything to do with the BR, MLG is suddenly brought into the discussion. It's completely irrelevant. Get over it.

Back on Topic: On LAN, I can't complain too much about the BR. It's still a beastly weapon, but not too overpowering. However, the BR over XBL is usually dissapointing to use. It feels very mushy and inconsistent. This "mushy" feeling can be corrected by playing with 110% damage, but that's not very practical.

As far as the BR's spread goes, I don't have a solid opinion. I'm a person who likes symmetry and balance, so by default I'm not always so fond of the random spread, but it's nothing to complain about. The only reason I don't like it is because some BR battles can end literally because one player got an unlucky spread. When it comes to serious competition, this can be a problem. I almost wish Bungie would have tightened the spread just a little bit. But again, it's not that big of an issue for me.

Conclusion: The BR is far from perfect, but it's going to have flaws no matter what you do to it.

Sometimes when I look at the moon at night, my mind embraces the thought of a love so vivid and true that I almost believe it is real. Then, due to my delusions, I am forced back into reality and begin to indulge myself in real life vices such as chocolates and German board games to get that once natural high.

No, this thread was to place all comments about BRs into one thread.
