My thoughts:

*The BR was designed with strengths and weaknesses.
*The weaknesses were added in to offset the strengths.
*It takes skill to use the BR like JonnyOThan said.
*The BR is as effective as it was designed to be.
*Bungie DOESNT have to fix the BR because it is the way they want it to be.

So, if you don't like the BR there is one real simple solution.......................Don't Use It




Ladies and gentlemen 'Pk 4 Skillz1' has the exact and perfect answer.

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...


Pics, or it dunz happen n00b!

I dont understand why people complain so much about the BR its one the best guns in Halo3 if you know how to use it.

Agreed. Bungie made guns to have their ups, their downs, and their purposes. People think of the plasma pistol as useless, I think of it as the tool of defence for Valhalla and Sandtrap. I like the BR just because in my opinion, im better with it. Thier is no superior weapon.

On the note of Banshees, the BR really does damage, too. For Human Ground vehicles, though, I think the AR does do more.

so u now understand why ur stuck at a level 18. br spread is important. more important is the host of this game. thats gotta change

  • 10.09.2009 9:21 AM PDT

First thing is im gona talk about the BR. Lots of peeps think its nooby and others think theres nothing wrong with it. I believe that the br is a weapon that sort of needs skill but not much. Its easiy tp kill someone with 4-6 bursts right? But you also need to be able to aim. If you cant aim, you might as well not use the br. Next, the ar is ridiculus. Its almost like a shotgun. If you shoot at least 9 or more shots and all the shots hit the target and you melee them, they die. Otherwise its a decent weapon at average range.

No. Just no.

AR is kind of like the BR's sidekick. If someone is shooting at you and your on your last mag,pull out your AR.

  • 10.09.2009 11:11 PM PDT

Does anyone even read these?

BR sux, AR rulz.

/thread.

I hope I was the first to do this.

I believe very strongly, there should be two separate slayer gametypes. One for the assault rifles, and one for battle rifles.

Why? Because they produce two completely different styles of gameplay. The assault rifle creates variety in gameplay with players primarily throwing granades at long range, then shooting at medium to close range, then finishing by meleeing the enemy. On the other hand, the battle rifle, with it's 2x scope, creates a scenario where players don't need to use grenades at long range. Also, players shields are usually drained before coming within medium range, where the players with full shields will have the upper hand and will no longer need to melee, at least not nearly as much.

Now why these are not separate slayer gametypes, is beyond me, maybe bungie can answer that?!

Am I the only one always hesitant to play the multiplayer because I am forced to play a style of gameplay I do not wish to play in Halo 3?

I feel the BR itself isnt an overpowered weapon, Its accuracy dropped to around there the carbine sits, would make it a bit more balanced. And in my opinion the aim assist should be dropped to around what the ODST pistol is at. Because alot of what happens in matchmaking is so much based on aim assist that, to me, it takes away from the fun.
For example: Just earlier toda I played a Slayer BR's on Lone Wolves, Epitaph. When I was trying to kill an AR charger who dropped from above be I ended up shooting at his chest, but the shots we're "assisted" into his face. Completely unfair, I believe he should have had the kill, but my aim assist killed him.

Theres my opinion.

In matchmaking where its messed up on BR's is when you get BR AND AR starts.

Also @ the grenades, they are used more frequently in BR matches than anything else, as after a grenade hit, it only takes 1-2 BR shots to finish them. Grenades are more of a finisher, or a tactic to chase someone down with when using the AR.

The BR is fine
i would like a scoped atomatic gun tho

  • 10.10.2009 3:25 PM PDT

Owned thank you very much

the br and ar are both great weapons ( in the right hands of course ) i personally dont see anything wrong with them.

  • 10.10.2009 3:58 PM PDT

He who runs, dies last. I suggest you run.

Personally, I find the AR to be a bit underpowered. Perhaps a slight accuracy boost would be good, but otherwise, the balance is fine. The BR is multipurpose, so is the AR, but to a lesser extreme

Accuracy definitely. Unless we want to believe that weapons technology will be worse in the future. Gimme a AUG A3 over an AR, BR, SMG or anything Halo any day

Group is Soldiers of War, ask for invite if you're interested

BR has more Versatility, and can be used more effectively in more maps. In Team Swat, it's praticaly your best friend when your on maps, such as Ghost Town and Orbital
