I very much like the BR how it is
Great for short and long range
AR well its ok
I would prefer the plasma rifle more

Has life ever felt like a really bad sitcom?

In the end I think the majority of the people on this thread have decided they like both the BR and AR just the way it is, so in the end this thread turned out to be worthless.

P.S. please don't smite me overlord

there are other ways of killing someone. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msN9pPqCSSs

A gun is a gun in any shooter. They are all different and some are better, or worse than others. Even that is subjective.

The only problem I have with either gun is that they look a bit pants. But hey, the games are X years old, they looked sparkly and new when they were designed...

Yes. Some of the ways don't even involve weapons, like death by coning, after all, we all know just how lethal a flying cone can be. Some of us better then others... I never saw it coming...

I like the BR and AR as they are. The Battle Rifle looks sort of like, don't get offended people, a futuristic FAMAS in my opinion, but still pretty cool. And the Assault Rifle is cool in it's own way. Personally, I prefer the Battle Rifle to the Assault Rifle. Why anyone would want to diss these guns is beyond me.

Why isn't well written constructive criticism toward the BR spread allowed anymore?
Hey, a straw man within the first two pages of the thread! w00t!


BOUNCEEE, do you guys hear that? dude just dodged the question... nice one (Y)and this guy was just wondering why we cant have an opinion and "vocalize" it on any other thread than here where you guys can ignore it... its ridiculous, and completely unprofessional, does this mean that if we wanted it fixed we should have said so in the beta? :S im confused, why do you listen to the "mlg community" when it comes to the DMR, but not your mass populous of halo 3 gamers?

Do i detect a hint of hypocrisy here, that this "mlg community" gets listened to over your populous, when you have already stated that "The vocal minority of people who have an intense dislike for the BR, despite their desperate attempts to claim otherwise, do not "speak for" the "hardcore community" or the "MLG Community" or any other subcommunity except the people who dislike the BR." implying that you are not open for constructive feedback, when you openly accepted, and possible broke one of reach's saving graces for the "mlg community"? (im talking about bloom reduction in the DMR, for those of you not paying attention to recent E3 post beta footage of halo Reach)

this proves my theory that its not due to the fact that they wont listen, but that Bungie have made their money off of halo 3, and no longer wish to modify anything.. if it pays the bills dont fix it right?

On topic
i find no problem with the BR at medium range, however i do have quite a problem with it at long distance, which is only fair, considering bungie have created a world in halo which has low gravity, but normal physics for everything else somehow :S, the assault rifle however is horribly overpowered, and does more damage at close range than the BR even when the BR user is strafing, jumping, and trying to dodge most of the bullets, we cannot escape it at close range, we run and it still gets us, there is no need for it to be a starting weapon, it is more powerful than a brute shot in the right hands, and that is a weapon we must seek out, and pick up, considered to be a semi-power weapon.

Br starts is something the masses want, or the high level hardcore masses want, and they are the ones you should listen to, although Team Brs is a step in the right direction, although the AR still features heavily in this game-type for some stupid reason.

I love the Battle rifle i believe its one of the best long range gun in halo 3, i also love how it does alot of damage to your opponent, Assault rifle is a whole other thing thats for when someone's next to you and you dont feel like taking along time to kill them

i like the BR but i think its a little overpowered i like the DMR more since its balanced and if i get a kill with it it feels better than a br kill the assault rifle is better in close ranges but ive seen some players aim for the head fire 3 burts and beat down an ar so im glad ther taking the br out of reach

The BR takes skill to use now. And everyone is gonna have to deal with it

Yes I agree and I use it all the time. So like UberZeO666 said you have to have skill to use it.

BR is all around the most useful weapon in the game and if in the hands of a well trained player can be a major threat for the opposing team. The best part about the BR is that it is not overpowered but deadly in the wright hands. And for the AR...o-blam!- it deals and average amount of damage but the range is not the greatest so AR is not always my first choice if a different weapon is present
