This is my first post, so forgive me if I missed something. I think the BR is a broken weapon. It is the first, and only weapon I look for. Anything else, in a typical game, is just scenery. That is a shame, because I would like to have a more balanced game using other weapons and other techniques than "frag...br headshot...next." The BR is so dominate that it drowns out everything else.

I was glad to see that there were no BRs in ODST. I had to choose other weapons to use. I can think of some ways to make the BR more balanced but that would be difficult to change now that the gameplay has become what it is. I think the only way to "fix" it in matchmaking would be to have maps without BRs.
I think that would change the way most of us play, I know it would (everyone would look for carbines instead), but at least the carbine is not as broken as the BR.

Don't get me wrong, I love the BR. I use almost nothing else, because using almost anything else would be stupid. That, I think is the problem, we all want to use the BR and nothing else.

BTW---I would like to see game varriants (especially SWAT) with only covenant weapons.

Peace to all

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


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.


not really, in a 1v1 AR fight someone who uses proper fire control, strafes, and could accurately use the weapon will always win against will some one who just spays and runs for a melee.

and you are right about the BR, a better shot will win in a BR fight. however it takes little skill to overpower an AR or any other auto fire weapon for that matter even in close range.

I love those weapons. Nothing wrong with them.

  • 01.01.2010 12:50 PM PDT

@u$t!n---F

im ok with both and all the weapons are equally all the same if you use them all in the same way

  • 01.01.2010 2:18 PM PDT

I've seen my family fade away, You've taken my whole life left me nothing to say. Sitting in silence with heaven above me i prayed every night by their graves. I search for closure i feel it no longer i can't turn my face away. I stand before you Ive seen what I've had to but now i leave your sight to avenge my family, I've taken my whole life there's nothing left to say.

The only thing that happens when I hear someone say bk or scrub. I either just bust out laughing, or wonder where in their sad sad mind they think bk is a good insult?

Signatures are for little kids.

I didn't read through all the posts in this thread so forgive me if someone already mentioned this...

The BR in Halo3 is fine, I'm glad there is no BXR stuff in Halo3.

The AR isn't bad either, I don't mind spawning with both in most gametypes even though I only use the AR if I'm ambushing someone at close range.

Fine aiming isn't a luxury you have in an AR duel.

  • 01.02.2010 12:23 AM PDT

if it ain't dead... shoot it again.

the br is better than the ar but i wish the br had a feture that would allow you to switch to a single shot mode instead of burst fire. and the single shot mode would make it more accurate

The tactical superiority of the weapons is a situational thing. ASt 2 meters, I'm going to use my AR and kill your idiotic BR loving self. If we're at 40 meters, then I'm going to use my BR and pop your block off.

The BR should just stay the way it is. Its capable of being used in close range, and medium range. Pretty hard to fire in Sniper rifle range, have to lead shots. Overall, Battle Rifle is one of the best weapons in the game, actually the best if you don't compare them to Power weapons.

The BR can't be used at close range. IT get s slughtered by AR, SMG< PR, PP, melee, Sword, Hammer, SHotgun, and other guns.

Does anyone even look at B.net sigs?

Long thread. Though I actualy prefer the MA5C, it and the BR are very different weapons. Someone mentioned the test where two people shoot each other in the head, maximum firing rate at the same time, point blank range. This would not be a completely accurate test, since the BR is the most effective with headshots and the AR does not have a headshot damage multiplier, and isn't very accurate in full automatic fire. It would be better toaim the BR at the head, and the AR at the middle of the torso, so all of the bullets hit.

Now then, in a scenario when two players meet at mid range, one with an AR, the other with a BR, skill with the chosen weapon will determine the winner. The AR user should use short, accurate bursts to damage the enemy,knock out the BR's scope and conserve ammo (by not using full auto- bullet spread at mid range will be considerable.). Once the AR user is close enough he/she should open full auto fire, combining it with a granade, and if possible a melee. Thats the most a AR user can do to overpower a BR.The BR user should try and lower the AR user's shield with a frag granade and backpedal wihile aiming for the head- (The AR user has the advantage).

At long range, the AR user should just find cover and then either get away from his BR using assailant, or make an ambush. The BR user should open fire and try and get to mid-range for a quick headshot, or maybe use the BR bullet spread to get a better chance for a headshot(Br user has the advantage).

and it's easily fixable by adding a simple dot in the center of the AR's reticule. I explained it in this post just find out that there will be no more DLC for halo 3.
