1v1 capture the flag with AR starts and BRs aren't allowed?

What the -blam!- would that prove?
Did I say BR's aren't allowed? I don't think so, I think I said the BR was overpowered.

Well, I'm going to bed because its 1:10 where I am and I don't feel like talking to dumbasses like this guy all night.


they wouldnt be so god-damm overpowered to people if they just got better with them... practice makes perfect... if youve played your whole halo 3 experience with the AR, then you are going to be good at it, but if someone took the time to practice and get better with a br, then you need to get better with more weapons!

further more, if you have taken the same time to practice with the AR as the person that is opposing you has taken with the BR and you still get killed every time, then they need to stop being such a game-item fanboy and use everything at disposal, this includes Spikers and SMGs, which is one of the most deadly combinations in the game.
I'm already good with the battle rifle, anybody is good with the battle rifle cuz its easy to use. Everyone thinks it takes skill but it really doesn't, I can use the battle rifle I just prefer not to unless I'm playing lone wolves where I try to win, and what better way to win than to take the cheapest gun in the game?

truth, the BR takes little skill, to be good with the AR, SMG, spiker, etc. it takes more skill, since you have to fire in short bursts if you are any farther than close range, the BR does the burst for you

STSK

1st of all i would like to point out that there are 299 pages on this one thread! really! What the hell!
and 2nd and obviously more important: STFU! im really getting sick of people -blam!-ing about the br. its a virtual gun for gods sake! who cares whether its not your favourite gun in the whole goddamn world? no-one thats who. i myself like both the ar and br but of course i prefer the br because i dont like having to run after people to get close enough to them to actually do some actual damage to them. thank you. youve made me something that i hate. people who -blam!-. good day!
(btw i had brmonkey as an internet name before halo 2 even came out so the br does not stand for battle rifle)

  • 12.09.2009 2:41 PM PDT

How can you not use a battle rifle correctly? Aim for the head and shoot, it's just like any other gun.

i hate the non skilled assault rifle
i hate the flawed meleesystem
i hate the flawed "trueskill" system
i hate the clufted maps
i hate the matchmaking system which needs 5 minutes to seek for a game

anyway i still love h3. but... how long?

the ar is no weapon, it is a shame. i would like to know how many kills overall are make with this hostgun. 70%? or more?

everytime i stand with a shotgun in a bubbleshield and an american ar wielder comes inside to beat me up i know, this weapon is way to powerfull for a startingweapon especially because it doesnt require aiming skills.
together with the rediculous spawningpoints on the smaller maps and the too many nades its the only weapon someone with a good connection needs to own much better players which cant get a single kill with their offhost ar.
i truely hate the ar, it is unbalanced as hell

wrong already.

first 3 shots>>body, last shot hits the head.

you have to lead shots, strafe with it, etc, etc.


i can tell you're angry; go AR beatdown something to take out your frustration.
Oh so that's what they mean when they say use it correctly. And I'm not mad I'm just pretty annoyed at most of the community.

Right, and the BR isn't?

no, because you have at least to aim.
and its not that damn much reliant on pure connection.

what want you to do if someone spawen right behind the corner and jumps around with his ar? *brrrrr* *smack*
over
half a second.
like rockets. like shotgun. like sword.
no skill.

but if you use it without host... sometimes i have to reload because one clip isnt enough to kill one guy.

watch my stats, i use the ar under 5% and that with a reason.

I feel the same way

The BR is overpowered in my opinion. Make it a 5 shot kill and maybe increase the spread by 3-5%.

It's funny how MLG players think they are good because they can use an overpowered weapon.

Anyway, for now I think the Assault Rifle and Battle Rifle takes different sets of skills.

You need fast reactions for the assault rifle and not much aiming skill. But you need a bit of aiming skill for the battle rifle and some degree of reaction skill.

  • 12.12.2009 5:04 PM PDT

yeah...

it pretty good if you aim at the head.

Actually, the MLG players aren't the ones we should be targeting (unless you're talking about the playlist, not actual mlg players).

The only reason MLG players use the Battle Rifle is because it's the only mid-range weapons besides the Magnum and the Carbine. And since the Magnum's more of a side-arm and you can't start with a Carbine, they use the Battle Rifle, even though they know it doesn't take much skill to use.

People in the MLG playlist think they're good whenever they get a kill with the Battle Rifle because that's what real mlg players use, but even the mlg players think it's bad.

I agree completely with UberZeO666. Unlike in Halo 2, the BR and other weapons in halo 3 have a travel time.Which means you actually have to lead your shots.The spread on the BR is fine. You just have to get used to it. People should stop complaining about how it is not like the BR in halo 2. this is halo 3 .. get used to it.

The next person to assume I am talking about ranked, do us all a favor and look at what I play!

I am still opposed to the BR. I am a commando. I fight up close, and I operate alone. The BR is a weapon that needs a supportive team to really be useful. With randoms, you don't get any support. You have to fight on your own and be as quick and effective as possible. This is not conducive to the adoption of a slow killing weapon like the BR. The AR is much better for commandos because you can get close and kill a guy before he can even turn to face you. It's also better for a commando, because the best way to negate the enemy numerical superiority is to bet in close where they can't fire due to walls, or because they'll hit their own guys. A properly done AR attack can shred through a team. I tried to explai nthis to my brother, but he called it bullsh1t and said that I should have been using a better weapon. That "better weapon" sure didn't save him when I ambushed him.
