This is the HALO community. I mean after all most of the people in this Community, their IQ rivals that of a mere gnat. Not significant, but you can't expect everyone on these forums to be smart.. Unfortunately. So what is supposed to be "Common sense" when implied on to halo, can be quite the difficult problem to overcome for some.

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.

Most of the people complaining are just mad because some one uses it better then they do or that they just think it should always be a "4-shot" and can't improve their 10-shots (If not worse)
How is this different from people that say if you don't like it don't use it? No I am not someone who ten shots(unless with a carbine and I missed a few.)It is a MID RANGE weapon, yet people use it in cqb and complain? That is what annoys me about it. Not the gun itself, the idiots using it. Although it'd be better if it were more similar to the carbine. And about timing for different weapons in certain circumstances I myself said that somewhere around page 172 of this forum.

I am he who walks above the abyss
upon a mountain of sky
I am he who descends to the blackest nights
to the ever-slumbering restless
I am he who releases his star
which will shine and burn
I am the abyss / I am the storm / I am the sky

Well my point is that you don't suck if you get killed by the AR, you're stupid for keeping your BR out at close range.


Yes, actually, you do suck.

Almost every single time someone comes charging me with an AR, they either kill me because my shields were already down, or I kill them because I got the headshot.

BR is not that hard to use at close range.

EDIT: And I will admit that the AR is sometimes easier to use at close range, but the BR is still not that hard to use at close range. At longer ranges the AR becomes a somewhat-useful pea shooter.

I'm just saying, I love the BR but only because it is way too versatile, and in that way I hate it because it ruins the usability of the other weapons.

I agree, the BR is just fine. My thoughts on it is if there was no spread it would be overpowered.

Spartans never die? Tell that to the covenant.

Spartans never die? Tell that to the covenant.

They could make an option like switching the BR or DMR on semi, Auto, or burst? What do you think? Just curious on other people's opinions and ideas...

The BR isn't hard to use at close range at all, hell, the BR is the easiest gun to use. But the AR kills MUCH faster at close range if you melee, and still faster if you just shoot. So the only way you killed an AR wielder with your BR at close range is if the AR wielder has low shields, was running in a straight line while you were backing up and BRing him, or he REALLY sucks. Therefore, getting killed by a BR (AT CLOSE RANGE) means you suck, unless you have a BR.

If Halo 3's melee had the same power as Halo 2's, I would consider the AR and BR to be balanced on this game.

Changing the melee damage wouldn't balance out the ar and br... 1. It has nothing to do with the guns, and 2. they're already balanced.

I think the BR has only a few flaws about who is host. Not all of the shots register if your connection is not good, only the first one and maybe the second. The biggest problem I have with Halo 3 is HOW FAR people can lunge when they are AR charging. I have clips of kids lunging literally 20 feet and I just think its complete crap. Lunging should be toned down and maybe make it so that the shots of the BR somehow register more often? AR is fine, its a little overpowered close range but then again its a close range weapon. The beatdowns are what piss me off lol.
Lol ok thats what i have to say.

If you are seriously having problems with beatdowns and ARing at close intervals you miss the very strategy that makes them say that it is too versatile, you shoot them before they get that close, not very difficult on most maps.
BTW there isnt that bad of a beatdown capability with any weapon that you cant beatdown back at them, or 4 shot them before they get within 10 feet.

Due to the incessant amount of spam and repeat posting about the topic of the design of the Battle Rifle and the Assault Rifle in Halo 3, all threads about these topics will be locked on sight and the author warned (then banned if they keep doing it). Please discuss the BR and AR and your thoughts in this thread and this thread alone.

For reference, Bungie's response to all comments and complaints about the design of the Battle Rifle can be found in the weekly update for June 20th, 2008.

People expecting further Bungie responses on the issue are likely to be disappointed.
