Subject: The Only BR Thread

There's No Problem That Can't Be Solved With An Abundance Of Weed and A Jetpack.

BR needs to be tweaked down. It makes most other weapons useless. Halo isn't supposed to be a game where one weapon out shines all the others to the point where just to live people have to use the BR because your enemy is.

me too, while i was playing some social slayer I owned poeple with the br I love the way it is theres no problem. Like others I dont know why people think the new br sucks more than the halo2 br

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.

It's t3h best weapon in halo 3... nuff said

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


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.

Yes thats what i said, single magnum is 5 shots, read my post k? dual magnums is 4shots from each one that should have been common sense but evidently i needed to point that out too.

Its just my opinion but I think the BR should be a little weaker because if you cant BR you cant play halo...period

ok... guys
dont get me wrong here... i totally respect you all for having opinions on the br and sharing it with the world and letting people know about your love(or hate) to bungie. in fact anyone on this thread, please do NOT feel offended by this.
but isn't it rather downright stupid to be on bungie's website arguing our BLAMs off over a weapon? all of us have stated the opinion we have
"BRs need a boost"
"BRs suck"
"Bungie fails" (on a side note if you said that... why are you saying it here?)
"anyone who uses BRs is a dumb BLAM"

but really aren't we being EXTREMELY overreactive over this? like pointing out other peoples fault and getting frustrated at each other?
how about... we all just hop on out xboxs... and just PLAY THE GAME
is it THAT hard? like... seriously i go and check on this thread and all i see is people BSing each other about BRs... carbines... magnums... and ARs.

like seriously. let's just stop internet screaming at each other and just play
thats what im doint...

JR - AKA ' CHEW5TER '

Im reading the forum and im just still laughing @ what was posted. the BR, i think its the greatest weapon in the game. only followed by the AR, which make short & long range sweet for online targets.. if you dont like the BR dont use iT...! LOL

you know, i find the problem with this game not to be BRs (well, not really) but the fact that ARs really just suck. i tried to play in ways with the AR that would make it more effective since its supposed to be an iconic weapon to master chief and spartans and the unsc. but Bungie unfortunately caused the AR to have almost no punch. it simply is not powerful enough. i guess Bungie didnt want people to have overpowered starting weapons, but while they stopped people from getting gunned down almost instantly by automatic rifles (this happens in many other FPS games) they started making people have to shoot FOREVER to kill someone.
maybe if other weapons also killed slower it'd be fine, cause when using the AR against another AR if you play it right skill can win over others (strafe backpedal fake and other stuff) but when the AR is against almost ANY other weapon other than magnums and sometimes BRs and carbines at close distance, the AR wielder is screwed. it doesnt matter if you strafe and have 100% accuracy. your still gonna die because the AR isnt powerful enough.

Ownage But One Letter Better.....

Alrite so here's the deal. The BR and the AR are pretty much the 2 starting weapons. The AR is for short range and the BR is for long range. The BR was made in no way like a power weapon, but is made to outshoot a large number of guns from moderate to long range. Some people seem to expect the BR to shoot like a power weapn when it's not made to be. What makes good halo players great is the ability to do great damage with a basic weapon and extreme damage with a power weapon.

Thanks

So, because of everyone moaning that the BR is too powerful/not powerful enoguh Bungie are now doing a "Halo 2 BR" beta, great....Why can't you guys just see that the BR is not a power weapon, its just a basic combat weapon, it has not been designed as the destroyer of everything, good players make the BR good.
As for the Assault Rifle, or the "PWnZ0rZ 0f 3VrY7HiinG" as I like to call it, who ever said it was weak has not played it. I'm not gonna start complaing to take the Assault Rifle off of Halo. It should be on there. Seriously though, from full shields you can be shot and beat down after 0.000452 seconds of Assault Rifle fire. I'm not gonna say make it less powerful becasue then the BR would just dominate, now, when your in close combat with someone who has an Assault Rifle, it takes skill. /Thread.

DAMN YOU MICROSOFT

you have a good point up to the assault rifle.
i've tried to play in ways to make it a good weapon but it quite simply is not powerful enough. it doesnt matter if you strafe and have 100% aim. most other weapons quite simply shoot down the assault rifle faster cause it doesn't deplete your shields fast enough. i think its a great weapon but compared to the fast majoritiy of other weapons, it stands no chance

  • 07.20.2009 7:07 AM PDT

Theres nothing wrong with the BR, its just a good gun (if you know how to use it) I like it cuz i get all headshots with it. If people say its cheap cuz its too good, then why arent you complaining about how good the laser, rockets, sniper, beam rifle, shotgun, sword, and all of those weapons are. Also, the only thing that bothers me with the BR is how people say that the BR is for pros and whenever someone uses the AR they are like N00B!. Some guy called me an AR noob because i started with it in a game, then we played MLG BR's after it and i beat him.

Scrubs are afraid of anything that requires skill.
