Subject: The Only BR Thread

I've seen my family fade away, You've taken my whole life left me nothing to say. Sitting in silence with heaven above me i prayed every night by their graves. I search for closure i feel it no longer i can't turn my face away. I stand before you Ive seen what I've had to but now i leave your sight to avenge my family, I've taken my whole life there's nothing left to say.

I like the BR spread of Halo 2 better. The Halo 3 BR spread is not as accurate, but I'd take it over an AR any day.
If you even prefer the br at close range then you my good sir are a -blam!-tard

Majority of people who play halo use the BR! every time I play my team is always fighting for it if we don't start with it! It's my tool of destruction as well. I approve of the BR it's personally one of my favorite weapons!! Like that other person said if you don't like it...DON'T USE IT!!

Problem is you can;t just not use it, its the only mid range weapon available on almost every map, you can't use the if you don't like it don't use it argument, if the only mid range weapon you have available!!!!!!!

You have a completely different opinion o what mid range is, there are only 3 mid range weapons in this game that are intended for that purpose and are most effective the battle rifle the carbine and the needler(somewhat) the problem i have with the battle rifle is every one's obsessed with constantly says im a beast with the br or get domed you scrub, which the funny thing is people with over 45% percent of their kills with it are -blam!- obsessed and need to lear to use everything else because without the -blam!- rifle your pretty much -blam!- at this game.

Meh Mostly also the fact everyone says it takes skill which it doesn't really a bit more than some weapons but a lot easier to use compared to the carbine or magnum, its level of skill is the same as a sword duel.

i agree. there are alot of weapons out there that dont get the respect they deserve. I also love the Cabine as well as i do the Br! all it takes is a shot(s) to the head....(the same rule applys to majority of the weapons) so like i said... i pretty much agree.

I would like to remove the fact that it does damage to People while fully coated in the plating of a vehicle.I mean I understand the Mongoose and the Warthog.As well as the open parts of the Ghost and Chopper. But the Banshee , if you shot the Front you get hurt.The Side you get get hurt.I am pretty sure this goes for the Hornet too.

I've noticed that to, another thing is how can a 3 burst shot from a battle rifle cause a 2 ton vehicle to flip? When even a sniper rifle shot can't do it or a fully automatic assault rifle? Make the bullet damage on the vehicle driver less unless its a direct hit on him

yeah the BR damage is a bit extreme... Plus the sniper is gassed powered so that would make some what sense.

The shields supposed to take more damage than the body but with the battle rifle its opposite which is -blam!-tarded

I pretty much dropped the damn thing and own people obsessed with it by using a carbine or a magnum

  • 07.15.2009 10:36 PM PDT

BR Is of the powerful weapons in the game if really know how to use it. It shows skill to not use automatic weapons like the AR.. Thats all i got to say

br is effective close mid and long range if you cant use it learn ha

  • 07.16.2009 9:28 AM PDT

I will never comprehend what the problem is. In the entirety of the Halo series, Halo 3 is the only one that has a mid-range intended weapon work primarily in mid-range.
Halo CE had the pistol which was deadly accurate and powerful at all ranges.
Halo 2 had a BR that had almost no spread and was deadly at all ranges due to the button combos.
Halo 3 ensured that the BR is only deadly in mid-range by making it less accurate and less powerful, and it worked. The BR now dominates mid-range but fails at all others.

Why is it so important to have a weapon perfect for all situations? Does that not defeat the purpose of having only 2 weapons? Isn't holding one perfect weapon the same as holding all the weapons for every situation, just like in "magic pocket" shooters?

Learn how to use it well, and there won't be any problems
