Subject: The Only BR Thread

I think the BR is the most versatile weapon in the game. It is great at short/medium range, and can zoom out to long range. Though, I don't like the look of it. Yes, Halo 3 takes place 550 or some odd years into the future, the look doesn't resemble anything like the M16. I think incorporating more of an M16 look while keeping the specs mainly the same would be cool.

they BR s the best gun in the game in my book its got good damage if you can 4 shot and good range and accuracy just practice with it, but i do know its way better than the AR because i always 4 shot someone if they come runnin at me with an AR they always die , and to 4 shot you dont need to get everyshot in the head just make sure all the bullets hit them and the last shot is in the head ...... ex: 3 shot to the legs or body and the last one in the head and as for look the halo 2 BR looked better ( it was kinda slimmer(

I enjoy playing all the halo games and have beat them all on Lengendary, whoo hoo. :P

hmm i seem to agree with your train of thought personally when it comes the battle rifle it has its positive side like the amazing and some what annoying headshot ability and the negative like, for example it takes 4 of the 3 bullet burst to hit and melee to get a kill it is one of the most horrific guns against shields.

Moved from my topic:

Before you say anything: I'm not complaining about the BR. The BR is fine for me the way it is (regardless of whether it's worse than it was from H2 or not).

So in the bungie update given about a year ago, it says the formula for BR spread (for the first bullet) is:

sin(.15) x (distance)

It's a fairly simple formula, but I'm wondering, is it always that formula? or is it more like:

sin(randomNumber(0,.15)) x Distance

in the above formula, every time the formula is used, a random number between 0 and .15 is given to determine the inaccuracy. IMO, this better represents 'weapon inaccuracy'.

Is this the actual formula being used, or is it the first formula where the BR inaccuracy is always off by .15 degrees?

I agree that the BR is versatile and effective. It's exactly what it needs to be. I think the problem is that many of the other weapons are comparatively useless - most of the dual wields. And i think the AR should be very slightly more accurate at all ranges.

bye bye brutes here comes the flood

Disconnect and Self Destruct One Bullet At A Time

"washing your hands with antibacterial hand soap and water increases your BR accuracy"

So before you decide to use the BR use Dial!!!

Too bad neither person answered it. I'm not really sure if anyone can though, it's a question about how the game was made, most kids don't really even understand that.

Anyone know what I should do? I'm trying not to PM a bungie employee because I'm afraid it would most likely be ignored.

Heres what I think: Its a gun. The way it works is a calculated system of shots fired and how they are fired. ( Im trying to explain in the simplest technical way possible) The BR doesn't choose to have a weird spray or miss. The user is 100% in control of the weapon unless the XBL system lags. The BR like any online weapon fires the same way 100% of the time. The trick is to figure out how to use it and use it effectively. If you think it chooses to miss or spray weirdly, its probably because you didnt use it right. The BR requires skil and practice- thats why people whine excessively about because they arent good enough to use it.

I'm sorry but theres NO SKILL involved in picking up a BR and aiming at somebody's head. That isn't skill, thats instinct.

Probably one of the more ignorant statements Ive heard in a while, but hey, Im not hear to judge.
Of course it takes skill. Go matchmaking in MLG and you'll see when you get constantly out-br'ed its cause their strafe and headshots are damn near perfect, and what people dont understand is that if you dont land all your headshots your most likely going to get out BRed. So instead of getting better at it, ie straefing, jumping crouching alot when close range BRing, they just assume the gun hates them and they should raise hell over it here at bungie. Wrong. Practice makes perfect

Trying to out BR people is by far the best part of the game. It's so gratifying when you 4 shot someone.

I totally Agree If People Dont like the Br then as you said DONT USE IT but it helps and in my opinion beats Ar's by a long shot

If you dont like Ar's Use Br's And the other way around I dont see why everyone is complaining about it
