ok im going to break up tha parade tha br sux it has tha worse physics in tha game with a random spread and having to lead ur shots its not that its not an effective weapon but tha fact that u can have it on their head and still miss is very bad tha reason why everyone seems to complain is becuz tha h2 br was freaking amazing there was no leading ur shot and tha spread was almost none. take a break from h3 go play h2 swat and u'll see that all u have to do is have it red and on their head and boom head shot in h3 u could have it on their head in swat and miss. leading ur shot by half a form is rather annoying i mean this isn't cod. anyways i think thats what is wrong wit tha br. and it is honestly tha worse weapon in tha game bcuz it is inconsistent u just never know what will happen but i think its annoying too when ppl blame their br and lag i mean its xbl what do u expect someone has to have host

"Would matching players through a dedicated server or VPN to prevent people from getting your IP hurt "casual" players in any way? Would more balanced maps and consistent weapons negatively effect bad players' enjoyment of the game? . . . No. Making the game better from a competitive standpoint can only help, it does not negatively effect anybody."

BR stinks, at least when you compare it to the Halo 2 BR. It's too random and really makes it hard for Halo 3 to be competitive. You can aim at someone's head and have all three bullets make a triangle around their head and not do any damage. Not cool, IMO.

But hey, that's why I don't really play Halo 3 anymore. It's just not for me.

The BR is great, but it's really is annoying listening on xbox live to the little 8 year olds telling me about how they, and quote, "Ub3R l337 w1tH 73h BR!" Again and again and again in their annoying voice. And also, it is weird how people whose gamertags are "i made the br" or "IBRNOOBS" always suck with the BR. Have you ever noticed that? It goes the same with snipers, there name is "Nosc0pesniped99" and alwayssuck with the sniper. Reply if you have noticed that.

I've noticed.
The BR, by the way, rocks. I don't honestly see any problem with it, or why some people feel the need to complain about it when it's perfectly fine.

All the weapons in Halo 3 have their own purposes and ways to be used.
And i think the BR is fine the way it is

My opinion is that the BR is an awful gun from H2 to H3.

As time progresses, so does technology how does it make any sense if a gun is worse.

  • 07.26.2009 8:19 PM PDT

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.

in the update on the first post of this thread it explains about that. and shouldnt that mean all covenant weapons should obliterate the human ones?

Yeah, and the only hit they manage to land is in their own teammate's back. Man, their squeaky voices are IRRITATING WHEN THEY GO ON AND ON.

Life is a journey, if you spend all of it with your nose in your map, you may miss some of the best parts.

the br is a good gun that should stay the same so stop complaining

Why should it stay the same? Theres no need for the br to have a random spread like that. I know they dont want the br to be overpowered but what they did to the br in halo 3 is just retarded. If you have your target on somebody's head it should you should hit them every time. They could of just made the br 5 shots instead of 4. I wouldn't mind that if it was a consistent 5 shots but this random bs is just stupid. I love how they ruin the br which actually takes skill and then make the melees which take no skill so overpowered.

I will snipe you

The BR is great its really accurate and a all around gun

what is this first off bungie tried to make a balanced game with over 8 weapons.......does that sound possible without making the BR suck at short range or making it absoultly inconsistint at long range because if they used the H2 Br no need for SMG OR going through the trouble too get sniper when the 2nd most common gun in the game owns everything
