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.


Agreed. Why aren't people complaining about the Carbine? PR? Brute shot? PP?

I am a huge fan of halo if u want to add me look up tA TriggaFinga.
I love Reach (and pointing out its faults) I hate boosters, hackers, modders and campers. Dont hate the player or his rank. Hit me up on live if you want to hear the truth.

Br is fine ausault rifle sand more powerful likehould sound louder like on ODST

Personally i really love the BR, and think it is the most useful gun you will ever need in matchmaking where the AR is just a 'n00bish' weapon, allowing people to gain an easy kill.

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



Yeah but the br allows you to swing shot, and u have a better chance of hitting anyway with three shots instead of one. I always see scrubs poundin of rounds off the carbine and they dont hit -blam!-. The Carbine is an accuracy in volume kind of weapon that really isnt as likely to hit at long range, compared to the br.

i really like the br and i think the ar is ok but i prefer the br and i miss it in ODST;D

The BR is better in a fight but the AR looks cooler.

  • 10.18.2009 4:08 PM PDT

assualt rifle sucks n should be taken out.

  • 10.18.2009 5:24 PM PDT

Carbine is better then both :)

  • 10.18.2009 5:49 PM PDT

Assualt rifle takes no skill when you do the AR rush, combined with Melee makes it overpowered.

im totally with this guy. 4 shots should equal 1 death not a whole clip due to leading shots/host/and online warriors. Halo 2 was really competitive because of how acurate the br was making game plans more complex. I guess you could say im looking at the br from a competitive standpoint.

i think that the br is the best for MLG and stuff like that but for the most part i would only use the ar if i was playing campagin

  • 10.18.2009 9:49 PM PDT

I love all the weapons, AR is a fun weapon and I like having a decent automatic weapon. I use BR when I have it and like it as well, its a well developed weapon. We are here to kill eachother in Halo, then use whatever gets the kills
Am I rite?

Yes you are right, but some people don't seem to see that.

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

my only problem with the BR is 5 to 6 shots to the head and people say i suck. I just want fun

The biggest problem with the battle rifle is that its inclusion into matchmaking has promoted boring, monotonous gameplay that wears thin quickly. I have found that in most br start maps that people will actually refuse to pick up other weapons and stick only with the battle rifle. Yet, when you use a different weapon to defeat them you end up getting insulted for example being called a "shotgun noob" ,"sniper noob", or "rocket noob". Overall I would say that battle rifle either needs to be left out of future games or completely revamped to prevent overuse in multiplayer.

BR is totally 1337

  • 10.19.2009 1:21 PM PDT

Hi!

The BR is not balanced, and you know why? It's not balanced because you can use it in close range, medium range, and long range, also people would decide to pick up a BR instead or a AR and that is also because[look at the underlined words].

i say the br is fine as it is. plus thoughs who hate the ar dont know how to use it, witch makes them noobs. learn to use every gun out there and master them before you say you hate it.

The BR is fine. Its really not that great for close range though because then somebody with an AR can just get the beat down.
But somebody who picks up the BR should know if they don't just keep running into their enemy, they can easily win.
But yeah, I guess the BR has the advantage.
