Ok. Why are AR users so stubborn and unwilling to improve. When this topic gets mentioned, straight away I hear;


FAIL! The people who use the BR are the stubborn ones, too dumb to switch to their AR at close range because they're too proud to use it and think they're MLG.

why would you call sombody a noob for using an AR? why are people so deeply offended if i choose to use an assualt rifle? seriously, its a weapon, in a game. who gives a cow what weapon people use?

Exactly. I use both, but tend to use the AR more. Mostly for my hatred of the BR but also because the AR is good with certain tactics.
If you burst with the AR you can get a kill in less than a clip.
I've managed to burst fire and kill in half a clip before.

I tend to use the AR, Carbine (Yes its similar to a BR but I prefer its accuracy) and SMG (Single wield).

I love you

Word...but is the BR more powerful then the carbine by alot?
nope, i've tested it. The carbine kills faster than br by just a tiny little bit.

If they do change the br, they should add some chrome to it. not a lot but just enough to make it look cool. And on the service record screen they should give us the the option to change the weapon.

Actually this is an observation of the design of the battle rifle
from the books and game manuals

it cannot work, not enough room for the bolt move back look closely you'll see
and it's not a battle rifle- a battle rifle fire a standard rifle round such as the 7.62x51mm which ironically the AR fires, the BR fires a 9.5x40mm which either a SMG round or an intermediate
assault rifle round I'm not sure there is no intermediate round with that big of a bore, or a SMG round with that much powder. anyway the BR and the AR are !@# backwards

There's two types of people:

The first type enjoy taking part in the game.

The second type enjoy winning the game.

You shouldn't judge someone because they're in one or the other.

AR users are the first type.

BR users are the second type.

tsc tsc! don't be stereotyping now!

The br is, as someone said earlier, not as effective as the ar in melee situations. So, because I use the ar for melees, do I only play the game for fun? NO! I play to win, and i simply love hearing people complain about BR's getting owned when they are half a foot away from me.
If you read my post I keep re-quoting you would see your error. The AR is not a better melee weapon they both deal the same damage when you melee. It's very rare that the AR is ever a better choice than the BR, so if the AR is your TOD there's a problem. Again read my previous post.

Keep BUNGLE away from matchmaking, away from these forums, and overall away from this game.

AR is only good for close range and spraying on vehicles, BR for about everything else.
There, the answer to everything.

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

I swear, if it were MAGNUM starts, then nobody could complain, some could run the BR, some could go for the AR. This stupid starting weapons argument BS wouldn't go on because you would spawn with the perfect starting weapon. It appears weak at first glance, but with skill can be used effectively. Offers the choice of Dual Wield to players who are into that sort of thing. And like I said the AR and BR could appear on the map as weapons you just pick up as you go.

Major props to my hommie Sheeef. He made Recon possible for me. Long time recovering emails and passwords. And it was his. lol.

Lolololol!
BR FTW!

THANK YOU THATS WHY THEY MADE THE ASSULT RIFLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love the BR!! But hate the fact that when I get a BR spawn game, people pull out their AR! The AR is a skill less fully automatic rifle, I love the design of the AR I like the fact it was reborn in H3, my only real complaint is that what I first said. ARs should not be used in a BR spawn game!!

  • 10.05.2009 1:40 PM PDT

I unlocked Recon have you?

Lol there is nothing wrong with Br and for some reason there is not that many people who think its bad, evidence from this thread.

  • 10.05.2009 1:44 PM PDT

I can't get over how Bungie considers people advocating BR starts just do it for preference. It is not preference it is gameplay and balance issues. Ar starts are unbalanced and make some higher level games decided by the intial rush. BR start may be unfair for less skilled players, but it is not unfair because of the game it is unfair because of the ability of players to use it. That is the way it should be. The game puts it out there and players capitalize on it.

You scrub i dont no what ur talking about the BR is stronger if u fire 4 shots in to someones head there dead takes like 20 shots for carbine u only think its stronger because its faster ( and also they sometimes they AR can be a good weapon i hate them)

I constantly try to convince my younger sister to use the BR. She complains about not getting more than 10 kills a game while I get upwards of 20 on average. I explain that the BR is simply better than the AR, but she still refuses to use it because she can't spray 'n' pray, but in the end it is all a matter of preference. Use what you want, if you get kills, that's all that matters, right?

The Br is better than the AR if you can keep the sights on your targets head if your good at that then there should be no problems if you can't short controlled bursts with the AR work almost as well.

On lots of occasions, the fact that the BR does spread has entirely helped out my score. BR rules.

the BR is great but i think shooting 1 shot instead of a 3 round burst fire would be awesome. and the upside to it is that it could create a faster firing rate


that is why they made the carbine. use that if you dont like the br

the BR is only as good as the person holding it


Actually, in some cases its much, much worse than the person holding it, and sometimes its much, much better.

Thats what we want fixed.


how is it much worse? or much better? that is impossible. the BR is the same BR as the other team has, maybe lower your sensitivity to increase accuracy with it. practice if you are not good with it, or just dont pick it up and AR people from across the map like you probably already do. This thread is just kids that are bad whining and making up excuses why they are not good with the BR and why they seem to die faster when someone good is playing against them.
