I like shooting the battle rifle while running really fast. It's dangerous and exhilerating!

do you even know the reason why they dont put br at start of an original game?cause to many people are good with the br and they would kill the new players two quickly

One on one, man to man.
Blade to blade, skill against skill.
Bring it.

Remove BR from all FFA gametypes. It encourages people to camp in obcure corners and niches in the map, and 'snipe' people with low shields.

It makes for very, very boring maps, as the legit players fight, but are unrewarded, due to BR campers, aka cowards, stealing all the kills.

Additionally, this gun makes any claim of balanced gameplay utter farce, due to it being insanely overpowered, capable of killing opponents with 4 bursts, only one of which is required to be a headshot. To anyone with even the most basic aiming ability, this is relatively simple to do. This gun, in expert hands, can beat any single other weapon in Halo, regardless of situation, regardless of skill.

In short, this gun totally ruins FFA, and removes any sense of fun from all other playlists, as those of us that prefer to use more balanced weapons are forced to bow to everyone else and use the BR.

If you have any sense of decency, Bungie, take BRs out of FFA playlists.

He also fails at trolling. He tried to claim that he had maturity in an argument then tried and failed to link the person he was arguing with to a shock site.

i agree. if someone has a problem with a wepon, just don't use it. also the BR was made as a mid range wepon. if you think it doesn't work as well as the AR that is because you are not using it for the correct purpose.

I like the BR just the way it is.

I really don't see what's wrong with it.

I feel the same way
i also feel the same way

If you are not hitting anything with the br it may be because you fire it like a bow and arrow

The Br is the only "noob" weapon in the game, it replaces every weapon in any situation and at any range, it has no weaknesses at all, all you need to kill someone is to get 3 bodyshots and 1 headshot or 1 grenade and 1 headshot, no other weapon is this effective.

you might say the rocket launcher is way more deadly right? wrong. the rocket launcher can only be used in certain situations, like short-mid range at most, and you can only get 4 shots per spawn, and the spawn times are very long compared to most guns.

Now, you say the Spartan Laser is alot cheaper than the BR right?? wrong again. most people that use the laser spaz out when they are aiming, and you only have to shoot them with the BR to un-zoom them and then they are useless.

what about the other guns? the AR stands no chance 90% of the time, the Plasma Pistol is absolutely worthless (not sure why they destroyed this little beauty, just cause people would use the noob combo in halo 2, the PP wasn't the problem). The shotgun is 50/50, cause the backpedal is so fast, most people can four shot you before you can get close. the needler is easy to dodge. the SMG is a joke compared to the BR. the carbine is a clone. etc. etc

in short, the BR ruined the halo franchise, gone where the days of using specific weapons for specific situations, everyone grab the BR and ignore everything else.

P.S. The Sniper Rifle can not stand up to the BR either, just shoot the sniper one, doesn't matter if all three bullets hit, you un-zoom him, rinse and repeat, and bam, dead sniper

P.P.S. sorry if this post is a little strange, but I'm on painkillers for a broken leg, and I'm kinda loopy

Personally I don't go back and watch every game I play in to make sure every shot i take goes where I aim and I doubt any of you do either. I think its more likely that if you complain your just bad with the br and want someone or something to blame besides yourself.

I believe the BR is ok the way it is and there is no need to chenge it.

Also it is my tool of destruction at almost every game I play as most people.

I think u should leave the br the way it is because it seems that in alot of post the bungie members really like the br and i for one like it even though it is not my fav weapon.

The BR is a great weapon, too bad the pistol is a pos, Bungie wanted to laugh at halo 1 players I guess.

you need a br to play team slayer when your 40 and above. ar/pistol is a bad starting weapon when theirs only 1 maybe 2 brs on your spawn at most.

  • 08.23.2009 12:48 AM PDT

i use the br 247

A BR thread? What about Carbines?!

We can't have Carbine starts, or even spawn them on certain levels?! WHATT?!

This has nothing to do with the BR i wanna appeal for my account that was recently banned

  • 08.23.2009 2:20 PM PDT

Hello, Well thinking about the br its pretty much the best weapon ever. The BR proves if your a good halo3 player. Its easy and simple to use and quiet simple. You can use it for short and long distance. that is why the br is the best. THANK YOU BUNGIE!!
