the BR is the only weapon on the game besides the sniper that uses raw skills to wield. when i encounter a person using the ar they always run straiht at me and attempt a beat down. thats y i cant get my 50 in lon e wolves because at the ar level we are all just about equal. just about because im a strat monster and my game tactics makes me more skilled than most.

Please just remove the AR from Halo 3.

There is no point with that gun.

they need to ad chrome to the be and add it as a item to add to your spartan on the service record screen.

Why do people want the AR out of halo 3? The BR is better, but one thing the AR dominates are vehicles. On BTB, i use the AR and dual smgs to take out banshees.

So don't say the AR sucks, because it doesn't...

1. Lately there have been less spray/beatdown combos than you would have thought. Well at least from what i've seen. Haven't actually done many spray/beatdown combos myself lately.

2. So putting people on an equal playing field is a bad thing?

3. Why is it that people complained that the AR wasn't in Halo 2, but now its in Halo 3, people want it gone? hypocrisy much?

Vidmasters: DONE

Why can't people admit that they're both good guns?
Yeah BR owns at long range and that sucks for AR only people, but that doesn't make it unfair.
And, you know, if you have your BR and you get caught off gaurd by a dude with an AR in close quarters, you're gonna be in some trouble.

IN certain situations the spiker is a great tool. When the game is br starts though it does hurt the weapons usability. When its AR starts though, the spiker can give you an edge if used properly

Halo 3 is my first FPS multilayer, at first i was like 0.1 k/d, but now every game i play is +20 carnage. Practice is key my fellow gamers.

Newer players seem to use it more often, it's like a gateway weapon. So it definitely has it's uses, and whether you use the AR or not is up to you, as I said before, preference.

  • 10.07.2009 10:06 AM PDT

If you think you're the best fluffy, gun shootin', Brute pwning guy around, you are sadly mistaken... Fear the dreaded "mew"!

I will point out that:
THE BATTLE RIFLE IS BETTER WEAPON

But all the BR fans say it takes skill, and they are wrong.
It takes no skill at all. The BR is a free kill.

That is the only reason it is better.

True Halo players that do not like this cheap way of killing will resort to the AR and will not drive a Scorpian or look at a SPARTAN LASER, as all of these things are for poor Halo players.
That lie and say they have skill.
Or honor.

Agreed. Even if the ar hits you with all of the bullets, your still going to kill him faster. Brs are just better. No comparison. And in SWAT. What? ARs are out. The fact that you like it so much is cuz you get to spray around corners. And for the people who are complaining about the grenade headshot kill, you need to step up. Its not cheap, its called clearing the room. IDIOTS

It's called lacking skill.
Any newb could do that.

Maybe the AR is only slightly better...
But you TOTALLY can't say that the BR takes more skill than the AR.

  • 10.07.2009 11:27 AM PDT

Hold your breath, take aim, pull. 1 shot, 1 kill, move.

I like to use all the weapons because I find different uses for each in different situations. The Battle Rifle, i find, works well at medium to medium-long range. While the Assault Rifle, i find, works better at close range in rooms on high ground for instance. Unless you have a Mauler or shotgun, the Assault Rifle is a good choice for short range weapon. A person with an Assault Rifle can beat a Battle Rifle if the AR person shoots and beats down because the AR always wins in a BR vs. AR beatdown fight. I'd take a BR over an AR, because I prefer the BR.

Oh really? So, then you "totally" can't say that the Carbine or any of the Magnums take more skill than the AR? (You could even throw the Sniper in that mix) All these weapons have more range and more accurate bullets than the AR.

Obviously, using these range capable weapons against a weapon known for its close-range effectiveness, like the AR, is an easy task to accomplish. But that in no way makes it take less skill. It just means that one player was incapable of fighting back because of the limitations (a reason for AR-only starts unbalanced gameplay).

You could say that using a Sniper against AR users makes you nooby, because it is really easy to take advantage of that imbalance. But, does that make the Sniper a less skillful weapon than the AR? Nope, not at all.

I hate players who camp, then when you pass by they spray you in the back with the AR, it's so annoying how unskilled players can beat skilled players at times. the Spray and melee combo is lame. Then when they try and pick up a BR they get owned hardcore, it just goes to shows the large gap between unskilled and skilled players. Anyone can use an AR and melee, not everyone can use a BR.

dylan newsome

agreed the br is better because it has a wider spread and shoots farther

  • 10.07.2009 4:38 PM PDT

You noob the AR is way off being better then the BR yes i will say that the AR is better at short range but the BR simply has more uses long range short range whatever and it does take skill anyone can pick up an AR and get a kill but some picks up a BR who uses an AR mostly he get owned thats why it takes skill
