There are advantages to both the BR and the AR.

However I feel that it requires more skill and a highly competent player to use the BR. This of course being due to the fact the BR has a much smaller reticule, fires in a burst (requires less missed shots in order to take down opponents), and is less powerful than the AR (head-shots are required for easy take downs when no shields; AR's can simply fill the enemy's stomach with lead in order to take them down).

I think that the BR and AR are pretty evenly matched in the fact that they both have their own respective strengths and weaknesses. Howvever I think the BR requires so much more skill to use and really shows a player's true shooting abilities. All you have to do with the AR is blast away at close range and your opponent is pretty much dead. (unless you're a horrible player)

Actually, I was lying. Plasma rifle is good, but it lacks the multipurpose usage of the BR and AR. I enjoy both of them, and I'm quite capable with either, but I use them based on the map and game type. CTF on Valhalla for instance, BR all the way.

Its fine the way it is, and if someone says it is overpowered, they clearly, like to complain.

I hate all this nonsense about the br taking skill, it doesn't. But I also hate using it and perfer the ar but in a head to head fight if you don't have a total noob on the br the ar is gunna lose everytime and imo they should be equal. If it were my decision I would only have one or the other in any given match.


The Br doesn't take skill to use? So your telling me someone without skill can pick up a BR and kill someone before the other person kills them? why do you think new players love to AR and shotgun? Because they dont have the skill to use the BR. It's a powerful mid-long range weapon, yes, but it takes skill to use.


what i am saying is that if u have played halo for at least a little while u are going to be able to use it i wouldnt call it skill, they pick it up and they are like ok whats this do they do a little experimenting with the mechanics of the gun maybe they wont get a kill first time they pick it up but it wont take long. getting crazy no scopes, sticks from across the map (intentionally), and dominating a match, all these things take skill a person who picks up the game is not going to do them within a week but i bet they could get the four shot down.

Br is great, nothing wrong at all. Accurate and definite, if its not then its either your skill or the connection.

I don't see any problem with the battle rifle or assault rifle but the assualt rifle could have a tighter grouping of rounds yet that could be delt with by using short burst fire.

  • 11.04.2009 4:23 PM PDT

I actually think that the AR is quite accurate. Do any of you guys have ways to warm up your BR?

I aree with you but Bungie in all the wisdom WAY overpowered the AR and i'm sick of every noob on the planet using from half the map away. I have gone on an AR BOYCOTT i refuse to even use the dam thing.

If you have to fix it with a computer: quantized, pitch corrected, and overly inspected, then you can't do it, and I can't get behind that!

I have and will always stand by the notion that the conical spread needs to be reduced. However, the bullet distance per frame can stay the same. Leading shots at a distant target feels just... right.


I completely agree with you. That keeps the gap between the rooks and avid halo players pretty distant and can make that one bullet all the difference long range/medium range/short range against the well rounded players of similar skill; rather than it being all up to the game. But still I don't think the effects of the "conical spread" are too bad and I don't think that it will ever be changed, so I don't dwell on it. Thats just my view.

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

i agree bungie wouldnt have made it the way it is if they wanted it to be perfect, ppl complainig it easy, practice or dont use it

  • 11.05.2009 6:27 PM PDT

i like the spread.obviously its not always ideal, since sometimes ur shots will miss if ur aiming directly at their head from a bit of a distance.this is solved by aiming at the persons midsection/torse, ESPECIALLY from a distance.i always see videos of ppl aiming directly at their heads, and some bullets miss.it does the same amount of damage to their shield if u shoot their chest compared to shooting at their head.u only need to aim at their head once their shields are depleted to kill them in one shot.the spread is often good because u dont have to be aimed directly at their head to get that headshot,as u only need one bullet to hit.
