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.

No, I'm saying that that is the general outcome of all AR battles. Don't get me wrong, the AR is a great weapon, it just doesn't take as much skill. To kill with the BR effectively you have to aim and be able to get head shots. With the AR you just have to point it at somebody and hold down the trigger.

With the BR battles sure, that's exactly what happens when neither player knows how to use them. You always see people jumping around in circles firing the BR. It isn't a good close range weapon, so you don't use it at close range.

The same applies to sword battles when both people can't use them. The trick is to use melee instead of just lunging at everything. It's faster and more effective. I though that was obvious...

Also, why the hell did you bring my stats into this? We aren't talking about stats so who cares. I've been playing online for a month. A lot of that wasn't on Halo as well. Get over yourself man. I haven't played for over a year and a half like you have. Why is this relevant? This is a BR thread.
It brings into the discussion about what you take your perception of skill to be, oh and 3 body shots and 1 head shot? you only aim for the head once, carbines alot harder to use than the br, as is the magnum

Battle rifle obsessed -blam!-, nuff said, really kid? get a better argument, carbine kills faster than a battle rifle at all ranges a single magnum is about the same and dual magnums is 4 shots which can be fired faster than the battle rifle, theres 2 alternative mid range weapons that beat the battlerifle magnum somewhat shorter range albeit

I agree in some fashion with that, like guardian, the maps mid range and there are 2 mid range weapons one carbine and one br, i do believe maps like that should only come up with the team br's gametype the magnum spawn helped this but when you spawn and get shot you dont have tie to switch weapons and shot him 5 times

Then it would just be an ar with head shot capabilities

Magnum is not 4 shots, its 4 body 1 head or 7 body. Also when dual wielded the damage out put of the Magnums is decreased (when you dual wield anything the damage of each weapon is decreased, the way Bungie balances Dual wielding). The Magnum also has a slower rate of fire, not that much slower but it is slower. The range is also quite limited like you stated.

You cant ask for recon

recon asks for you

B.R. is easily the best gun in the whole game
br starts should be required for all gametypes

  • 07.18.2009 4:09 PM PDT

MaJoR for life. You mess with one major, you mess with them all.
MaJoR Stealth MaJoR RamPaGe MaJoR KI11JoY
MaJoR Beast MaJoR Puff1993 MaJoR S1aYeR
MaJoR D1abLo MaJoR Fr3nZy

The good times you use BR

It's really simple. long range, great.
medium range, good.
close range, good luck.
all BR map, good. Not all BR map, beastly.
can't use one? learn or use something else.
its a GUN. in a VIDEO GAME. don't cry about it.

  • 07.18.2009 4:51 PM PDT

tottaly!
but it could use the automatic feature on the br.
other than that the br is the gun i love to use considering i only play team swat!

If you want to complain and play a casual game since you can't keep up, there's always CoD which takes no skill.

I like the BR, but can you fix the spread?

Glad that Halo 3 garbage is dead, thanks to Reach.
Unfreakenbelievable!!

I see that this thread is pretty much dead to the more intelligent people.

...oh and 3 body shots and 1 head shot? you only aim for the head once, carbines alot harder to use than the br, as is the magnum
But, really, I'm getting kind of weary of your constant egocentrical, nonsensical BS you have been splurging into this thread.

If you haven't noticed, in order to achieve a 4-shot you must be much more precise with your aiming than with the Carbine and Magnum. The spread of the widest BR bullet is much more inaccurate as the single bullets from the other mid-ranged weapons, which means a 4-shot requires more precision. HOWEVER, that is the limitations programmed by Bungie to limit the range and is not due to the players' ability.

Now...if you are talking about using the BR against injured players, where only a headshot is required, then the headshot is one of the easiest things to perform. HOWEVER, the Carbine's rapid RoF allows headshots to come easily as well. The Carbine really isn't that much harder to use, though is still more of a precision weapon due to its single-bulllet functionality even with the randomness nature of the weapon.

The M6G Magnum is really the only weapon of these three that one can say is much harder to use. HOWEVER, the randomness limits how good someone can be with it, which rewards the more range advantageous weapons. Also, the difference between the BR's RoF and the M6G's RoF is actuallly quite small; it has been tested that those weapons have similar RoFs.

In conclusion, their spreads is what determines the difficulty, not the user's ability. You can have more precise shots with the BR than the Carbine and still lose, because the Carbine only needs to be precise for one shot: the headshot. And, the same goes for the Magnum actually. But, with assists where only the headshot is needed, the BR is probably the easiest with the Carbine a close second and the M6G being the hardest.

Hope this clears up some biased misconceptions that people seem to have about these weapons.

I still think its horrible

  • 07.19.2009 4:08 AM PDT

The BR has its good and bad days. When everyone else has one, its okay, when theres only about 5 on the map and everyone else has AR's is really good but you need to have a good, steady aim whilst moving and a quick trigger finger. Compared to the carbine its a lot less effort as there is not the need to repetatively tap the trigger as with the carbine.

master pwnage

i think the BR is 'ok' not outstanding its not consistent i find, maybe a small tweak to help it be more consistent but thats my opinion. i dont like the assault rifle its too powerful, i hate it when you get team br's and people just use the assault rifle because its powerful its stupid, if you get team br's then you shouldnt get assault rifles either with spawn or on the map, the spawns are slightly stupid in the sense of you out br someone an then as you run away to heal he spawns close an cleans you up, or you spawn with the enemy an end up 2v or 3v

  • 07.19.2009 5:44 AM PDT

Just want to point out that the BR in Halo 3 has a longer barrel then the one in Halo 2 but it's less accurate. Makes no sense. Great job bungie.

  • 07.19.2009 10:38 AM PDT

I like the battle rifle, I just don't understand how people can get the four shot from across the entire map. don't get me wrong, i am not a noob.
