i made this for reach so
this is probably not relevant but what the Hell
1- The BR should stay, however have a different roll, the definition of a battle rifle is a gas operated riffle that fire a full sized rifle rounds like the 30-06, or the 7.62x51 which ironically the AR shoots. any way; right now the BR is the effective at all ranges "jack of all trades" weapon, that is the what an Assault rifle is for, i would like to see the BR semi auto so it is more accuracy oriented, instead of an other assault rifle, but it could work either way so i balanced both semi auto and burst BR
2- I think the AR should be the mid range jack o all trades weapon. like the AR in RFG where you have a slight zoom, becomes more accurate, and gets a smaller reticule. also make sound like the MA5B. i miss that wonderful noise. the definition of an assault rifle is a Gas operated rifle that fire an intermediate round. the AR fire a full sized rifle round however this makes sense do to the fact that the enemies a bigger.
so what about this
AR-
Slight Aim
Fire rate- 10/sec
shield damage- 16 rounds
Armor Damage- 4 rounds
Mag size-30
2 second kill
Burst BR-
4x zoom
fire rate 6 rounds/sec or 4 burst/sec
shield damage-13 rounds
Armor damage- 1 head shot 4 torso
roughly 2.5 second kill
Note: differences from halo 3; slightly weaker, and slightly higher fire rate
Semi-Auto BR-
4x Zoom
Fire rate- 4 rounds a sec
Shield damage- 9 rounds
Armor damage- 1 head shot 3-4 torso
Mag size-20
2.5 second kill
so in this case the AR kills faster then the BR, however with the AR you have to use burst fire to accurately hit your target at longer ranges; so the delay in fire rate allows the BR to win at longer ranges.
Halo for the Most parts takes place in close quarters
even the sniping bits, most the times you targets are under 60 meters from your position
effective ranges AR v BR in my scenario
"for reference Sandboxes pavement from end to end is 150m"
AR v BR optimum range point to blank 65m
BR v AR optimum range 65m and beyond
AR max effective range 500m
BR max effective range 900m
so this restricts the MA5s practical use to relatively close to mid range when engaging Elites Brutes and Spartans, how ever it is still functanal at longer ranges, and effective against weaker units at long range
as for the BR, it will normally get overwhelmed in close quarters however if you are good with grenades you could drop an opponents shield and get the head shot
so was this a waste of time, did you like this, what would you do differently, discus, my point was made
