I'm out of chips.

First of all, H2 and H3 pros were good at CE because it had the pistol, which was a 3-shot kill! Then bungie makes the pistol weaker and puts the battle rifle in, so now we have a new cheap weapon.

Second, and I'll give you credit for saying you can still defend yourself at close range with the AR, if a team has map and BR control, say red team, then blue team could rush with AR's. Red team would die because most "pros" are too proud to switch to their damn assault rifle and defend themselves properly. If a team has map control and are better than the other team, then it's a checkmate, regardless if both sides are using AR's. You don't need a freaking battle rifle to be good.

BR - the perfect weapon. Great at medium range, good long range and beats most other weapons close up.

Let me introduce you to: my AR, my SMG, my PR, my shotgun, my mauler, my sword, and my hammer.

explain to me how the BR is a "skill weapon". The BR kills faster than the AR past any practical range, however my test says it just kills faster. it has a long range aim assist and is accurate on at it's optimum fire rate. the AR on the other hand is only accurate when fired in burst, has only a short range aim assist, requires a melee, grenade, ambushes, or good use of cover to beat a BR, Carbine, or Magnum

If the AR works for you, then use it. If the BR works for you, then use it. Don't go flaming other people for using what you consider the inferior weapon. If anything you should be happy because that means you should be able to get more kills off of them. And if you can't, then either your weapon isn't superior, or you just suck.

Because the BR has a skill gap. One person can become considerably better with it than others.

1v1 BRs fights are consistent, the better player will win most of the time and the times he does not are mostly due(except for BS spread BS) to him missing shots or his opponent out playing him.

1v1 AR fights are very inconsistent and are mostly decided at random or end in mutual deaths.

Your logic makes no sense. A brand be player to halo can kill anyone in a 1v1 AR, the same cannot be said for 1v1 BRs.

Whats a killing spree?

his is what I believ. The BR is great how it is, it neeeded to be balanced. AR's are easier to use because of their higher rate of fire, but they are only good at medium to close range. The Br on the other hand is like the m16 of the halo world onlly much much better. Not to be redundant with the main opinion of this forum, but the skill range of the BR is probably the thing that sparked this debate in the first place.

The BR owns just the way it should and should keep owning the way it does

  • 12.22.2009 12:17 PM PDT

yeah i mean istarted out as a complete n00b, i got completely owned nearly every time i played halo 3. but then the gods gave me a weapon which could kill all at a mid-close range : the BR. i learnt how to use that and then i was the one owning :):):):):)

Be nice to noobs..Remember even MLG players were noobs at one point.

i think of it like this the AR is a chainsaw that any manic can use. (don't take much effort for the pray and spray method) But the BR is a surgical scalpel that takes skill and practice to use .

I think of it like this: The BR is like a rapier that looks pretty but is unsuited for the chaos of the melee, and the AR is a cutlass that can slice your head clean off before you can even blink.

First of all i would like to say that husky is a colonel g2 and is a BK
I'm sorry that the BR can shoot across the map and shoot up close, and the AR can't. You know what else can't shoot across the map. A shotgun. Does that mean that the Shotgun takes more skill to use than the Br u BK. Your horrible don't talk about pros when u don't play, talk or know any of them they think the AR is "Nooby" also because it is. You don't have to strafe with it or lead your shots. The carbine I (along with most sane people) think it takes more skill to use than the BR. Facts are is the AR is a 2 sec burst and then a beat down to kill. The BR is a 2shot beatdown kill also but when you get to a high enough level (which i know you haven't, BK)people don't do this. I bet your asking how do I know this. Ohh maybe it's because I'm a 50 in MLG and play against high level people every day. Also the Br is the perfect weapon because it can shoot all over the map, you can't complain that the other team has the sniper because (although it offers them an advantage)you can still counter it, with the AR can you do that. NO because you have to be within a close distance. If the only weapon that was to be used was the AR or BR u might be right, but it isn't. If you have the BR and the other team has a power weapon (sniper, Rockets, etc.) than you can counter it but they still have an advantage. With the AR it is harder and much more difficult. But this does not make the BR a power weapon, because it is not a 1 shot kill, it is beast i agree but so many other things can counter it. It is not over powered because so many things own it at so may levels if not used right. Shot gun face to face, BR probably looses. Sniper - BR long range sniper probably wins. It is versatile but not over powered and that is why it is the best gun to start out with. If you have a BR(and can use it well, unlike husky) you are never at too far of a disposition, you ever wonder why pros dont get owned as often you never see a match end 50-12. Because they have the BR and can counter rockets and sniper and such, because they have that skill with the BR. and maybe the reason people keep coming back to halo is because the BR. And dont say Halo CE because it didn't have the BR in it, it also didn't have a online multilayer only LAN. Also you pointed out that if you have map control and have skill with one weapon you will win. Lets take narrows flag for instance if all teams have ARs would it play out different, you cant really set up on them so map control would be useless, because you can only shoot short range, witch would eliminate spawn camping, and predicting spawns. Which would throw off the game, and once some one started running the flag there would be no stopping him, no long range assault at flag or mid at top mid. only close which would mean that you only have to defend close, which would use less skill. yeah i was ranting but got out some points so yeah that is my final statement. BR>AR but is not overpowered.

im with him good point

  • 12.23.2009 2:57 AM PDT

any one know how many shots before a melee it takes to kill some one with the BR, i know it takes seven or so shots to kill someone with an AR??

  • 12.23.2009 8:43 AM PDT

The Berry has spoken.

BRs are good for medium range battle. Assault rifles are good for close range battles. but still, i like the BR slightly better.

  • 12.23.2009 4:12 PM PDT

BOOM

i prefer the AR, because i like hosing down the enemy with bullets but my favorite gun is the smg cos it hoses better!!! XD

  • 12.24.2009 3:43 AM PDT

i like the BR but it needs a new color

  • 12.24.2009 10:48 AM PDT

Forum Rules for those who care to know what they are.

"Bs: Blame stosh for all of your BS!"

I like the BR, just not how much it occurs as a gametype. %50/%50 split please. :)
