I just find that the rate of fire on the battle rifle is too slow.


too slow?! if anything it should be single shot.Anyfaster and it depletes the point of everygun in Halo history.

look man the br is fine you need to work at it to be good, at first halo seemed to be more about the right place at the right time but now its more of whos better with what (witch i like ) i think that instead of changing the br we change the game variants...why is it that when ever its br start ppl pick up the ar, if your tired of getting out br'd then get better at it, there for i say if its br start that the ar is removed and that will separate the real 30 40 50 from the ones who just get lucky

All I heard was:
FLAME FLAME *I care way too much about a weapon in a video game* FLAME FLAME
Seriously though, using a BR or AR doesn't represent skill, it represents who got to a BR spawn first. 75% of the time I see people complain about the BR is because
A)They used the BR against an AR from a foot away and got killed. Or
B)They aren't good with getting headshots with a BR.
I'm not goot with a BR. But I don't pretend to be either.

I like the BR the way it is because if you are good enough and have some skill it is a faster killing gun then the AR. It is also a middle/longe range gun with a good scope.

Well, now we know why you don't like the AR...because you suck with it. Thats the thing i notice with the BR fanboys. A majority of them don't like it, because they don't know how to use it properly. The AR is always almost going to be followede by a beat down. Why BR fanboys cry about it, I have no idea. You see these MLG players do beat downs with a sniper! A weapon that really has no use in CQB, yet they moan about how the AR only gets used for beat downs, and how "there's no fun in that". Well I find it very fun to get up close and personal with your enemy to determine who is better, rather than shoot someone halfway across the map three times in the head.

The fact is, both of them are good strategies, depending on the game variant. Don't get mad that someone shoots and beats you down with an AR in a base on Snowbound, and on the other hand, don't get mad that someone kills you with a BR out in the open on Valhalla. Neither of those are reasons to hate a weapon.

If we hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes should fall like a house of cards. Checkmate.

I am afraid I dont understand why all of you are arguing about these weapons.

The Battle Rifle is a great weapon, there is no doubt about that. It does take away from the game however in that it makes it basicly a one weapon game. But that is a personal choice, you dont have to use it (atleast I never did).

The Assault Rifle is an amazing weapon in its own right. Fire it in burts and you have some great accuracy. I can counter snipe fairly effectively with my Assault Rifle. It has plenty of damage and has the ability to empty its mag in one trigger pull. It is just an all around good weapon.

Use each weapon in different situations. Dont let yourself be caught up using only one weapon for the entire game, be it multiplayer or campaign. Challenge yourself and give new things a try. You might find that you like them more than you thought you would.

I am a Metallica fan it rules . live with honor or fall in into darkness . alround im a cool person

i agree with u,people think BR is skill and AR is in their terms "garbage". its a game i just want to play for fun,my problem with the BR is head shot response and getting shot in the back with full damage until my shields are down.

Got Halo questions? You found the answers.
<3 the DMR

Honestly the AR takes about the same amount of skill as a BR, just your skill is in different areas.
To be good with an AR you need to be able to get the enemy first, find them before they find you.
With the BR as long as you can keep your reticle in the general area of their head, you can score headshots thanks to its uber-aim assist. But the BR's difference maker is how you dodge, if your good with a BR you can dodge enemy shots and let more of yours hit home.

An a PR rush pwns an AR rush, only 2-3 bolts and you can melee kill. takes about 1/4 of a AR clip to reach the same conclution.
And PR will win against an AR in a flat out rush because it depletes shields faster.
I don't see why people dont complain about that. I use it all the time and it makes me lol.

On LAN the BR is fine, online its horrible.


Most of the weapons have issues online due to either lag or the host problem. Therefore the BR/AR comments are truly a mute point to begin with!!

There are those who said this day would never come. What have they to say now?

I hope recoil is added to the BR in Reach.

  • 10.17.2009 10:25 AM PDT

I just love the BR, its just when you get use to it you are rubbish with AR
