Walking advertisement of both light and dark

The Br is fine the way it is. It's easy to get headshots with it.

The BR is the BR. Plain and simple. Don't like it, don't use it.
It's my favorite weapon.
I don't think it should have the option for burst on/off because then it would just become the Assault Rifle.

I will begin by saying I am a new player to Halo/3. I have played a couple of weeks or so. I hate the Battle Rifle. My dislike for it can not be alleviated by simply not using it because it is still used against me.

Since I don't have the DLC for Halo 3 I am only allowed to play a couple playlists and in those playlists about the only weapon used is the Battle Rifle. I'm sure this is because there are not actually that many weapons available to pick up in maps, which is unfortunate, but I digress from my point.

The Battle Rifle as described in the first post's link is supposed to not be a sniper rifle, but from what I am constantly seeing that is exactly what it is. I am on a map like Sand Tarp or that outside map with the circular bunkers and I get killed constantly by people all the way across the map with it. I might be running and dodging like crazy, but I still get owned. Sometimes before I can spot my enemy I am dead.

I realize there is no change that will happen to the BR, but I have come to hate it completely. I don't really see how anyone can enjoy playing a game where there is only one weapon used (unless you're very lucky to get to the weapon spawn you want before someone else). I'm sure the people who are somehow not getting killed by this all the time and are instead doing the killing enjoy it very much, but I am constantly struggling with deciding whether or not to keep playing when I keep getting killed from a long distance from my enemy before I can even fight them.

I hate the BR. To make the matters worse, I am forced to use the BR because there is no other long range weapon that can easily be obtained. The sniper rifle is almost always gotten by someone else so you are left to using the BR.

^^^^

All I can say is that you'll get better with it with practice. Just avoid running across a huge map without any cover, especially if you are new. I'm not saying you run out like a mindless moron, but new players tend to do so.

You MUST be exaggerating, though. There is no way you can be killed from across the map on Sand Trap with a BR, without knowing where your opponent is before getting killed. The BR spread is too random to damage you that much, but if they're half the distance of the map, that is understandable. Just keep practicing with the BR. It's basically the main weapon of choice, unless you're a nubcake and you use an AR 24/7.

Keep practicing with the BR and soon enough you'll be killing people from halfway across the map.

I used to hate the BR also, but I kept practicing with it and got better, now it's my top tool of destruction.

The BR is a great weapon, but it makes the AR and SMG almost obsolete in my opinion. It's also extremely overused. I guess I can say I'm happy it won't be in ODST.

Fix bullet registration online and on LAN and ill be happy with my BR.

Oh and take the random huge annoying spread off it and the AR. It's really annoying and shows no skill and gives the weapons no range.

Everybody who doesnt like the BR BTW, you just aren't skilled enough to fire a weapon that isnt automatic and isnt slaughtered with aim assist.

BR's are fine, except people who have a problem with it, just pick up a carbine.

Pwnt!

Dont hate the player hate the game.

Unlike the battle rifle the carbine was balanced to a point. The battle rifle was also over power and it was time that we did not need that *$%*#(%*@*%(#* any more in the halo game base but nobody saw that is was over powered and started defeneding the bloody gun. The only thing that is worse then the battle rifle was the MP-40 from COD5. That game was also a Piece of $%&%*.What I mean by that game is COD5

It's good to know not everyone who plays Halo is an idiot like Magus131. You think the AR/ whatever you put here is a noob weapon? It's a mid to short range weapon. The BR is a mid to long range weapon like the sniper rifle or beam rifle. It's everything but a noob gun. BR kills AR at long range. BR kills AR at mid range because the BR is stil accurate enough and AR wins at short range because it's automatic. I'd love to know how the AR is now in the noob category? Anyway I'd like to say you stated your argument well which isn't always the case and is usually someone posting "BR FTW" or "AR/2438 (whatever) IZ noob gunz an should be deleted" or on the AR side "BR iz stupid i hate it -.-".

I hate the BR with a burning passion and I try to avoid it as much as humanly possible but again you really on't have any choice. On maps that are more open there is absolutly no cover and your forced to use it. In smaller close quarters maps I still find myself getting killed in hallways where the AR can't reach. If anything the AR is underpowered and needs a range boost. To be honost the easy solution is bring back Halo CE as it was. The pistol is a little overpowered and i would simply take away the scope and nothing more. Or keep the scope but reduce the accuracy a bit while using it. Bungie always finds a way to screw something up. I'm sure your all ready to flame me or something so I'l stop here for now.

Your anger plzez me you noob. Go cry me a river why don't you. I can't believe your so mad that's it's not in ODST. Your not going to to get it simply for that reason? Your an idiot. You have no idea how thankful I am that it's not in ODST. It's like God answered my prayers and got Bungie to fix the problem. Let's see if you can make an intelligent response instead of saying "-blam!- you"? Also I never said I was trying to be intelligent.
