Lol. BR. Who wants to get out BR'd now?

Tighten the spread to improve the accuracy over a farther distance. I personally have adapted to the new BR and would just like to see it be more accurate at further distances.
The only way there is going to be a change is if there were a boycott on a large scale, but in that respect I believe that the number of people who really want a change is miniscule to the people who just want to play for 30 minutes and do something else. The competitive community is pretty small in comparison. You have to admit that Bungie really made a product that had MICROSOFT's finishing touch. Hopefully they will make the competive group happy, since they are the ones who keep the game mainstream after years of its release date. Also I bet that if the BR was made more effective at longer distances, then you would see BTB and SWAT make comebacks. They really killed BTB with all this close qaurters oriented battle system.

Halo CE > Halo 3 > Halo 2

Fix the Halo 3 BR spread, plz.

Imagine how much more awesome the mid range maps would be if the BR was reliable and consistent. My god, Narrows would be much better and many BTB maps would actually be fun. A lot of the bigger maps were much more fun in Halo 2 because the BR could actually work on them. Halo 3 is lacking this, making a lot of bigger maps boring.

What is everyone complaining about? If you don't like the BR then dont use it or just dont play? Is there really anything wrong with it? Stop complaining just because people kill you with it and are better with it than you go play viva pinnata since you cant handle it.

  • 07.10.2008 10:24 PM PDT

Does anyone even read these?

I guess that we just have to accept that this is the way the BR is.

I see this person has played mostly the MLG playlist. Understand that increasing the damage to 110% makes the BR much more consistant, because you don't have to hit with every bullet for a headshot. Also, people are not going stop using the most effective mid-range weapon just because they have a problem with it. That's like me telling you to stop posting in these forums if you don't like people expressing their opinions.

110% speeds up the game, but the BR can still be pretty unpredictable in MLG.

  • 07.11.2008 12:16 AM PDT

The BR si too random. I hate that a guy on a turret can kill me quicker at long/mid range than my precision weapon can kill him.

Dear god man!?! I just got done posting "contribute or do not post". Please for the love of god if this is seriously all you have to say please don't bother. It's been said 200,000 times already. The current debate is about the BR spread, and how this effects two skilled players facing off. It has nothing to do with shooting some run-n-gun AR kid who runs in a straight line at you making for an easy kill.

It affects the balance of entire game. This game just isn't about 1 weapon, that is past.

MLG BR is more like the thing many would like to see. It is like that because of increased damage. The result is that "fixing" the BR spread would make it better. It already is great and used the most, atleast competes equally with AR. I also don't think BR spread is a thing you can blame for losing matches 25-0. All that matters is the win of match afterall.

Why so many want to change Halo 3? I have seen lots of games that are all about 1 weapon, wouldn't they be better for competive gaming?


You have to take all weapons in picture. Halo1 pistol in Halo 3 - ruined balance, Halo1 Shotgun in Halo 3 - ruined balance, Halo1 frags in Halo 3 - ruined balance .

I am a beast

All I know is that when im searching for games it says, " with long range weapons like the battle rifle, a red dot appears on a players head." I just want some more accuracy at a longer range, FIX THE SPREAD. I think that trying to make it perfectly balanced has kind of killed the game. I just don't get the same feeling as I had when playing the previous games.

I agree human,

Without the BR, BTB is just a battle to see who can get into the warthog or who can shoot first and beatdown at the same time.

A tightening of spread will not hurt the casual player because they don't play that often. And the weapon will be made better for them too. It's not like it will only become a more reliable weapon for just a few people. Everybody will benefit. Isn't the best person supposed to win anyways?

I think the BR is fine I just hate the AR you can get noobed by it so much and I always seem to get that stupid thing when you beat each other down

For goodness sakes the BR spread is realistic! Bullets do not travel in straight lines (Future bullets is beyond me, though)

Since when is it "n00b"ing somebody when you kill them with it? It's a starting weapon, and its good!

  • 07.11.2008 9:27 AM PDT

the carbine is better then the BR.

The fact that you think the way the BR plays/designed is wrong or something is amazing to me. Thats the way the game was made so that should be taken into consideration with playing it.
I am not entirely sure why i am responding to this in the first place, but honestly, THEY ARE NOT GUNNA CHANGE IT.

but please, whine & discuss more.

  • 07.11.2008 11:09 AM PDT

Halo 3 definitely needs the Battle Rifle to be amped up a bit. In Halo CE (which is considered by most to have the best gameplay of the three) we spawned with the pistol. The pistol had enormous range and power, but also a huge skill gap. This made the entire game revolve around who had the most shooting skill. Halo 3's lack of a utility weapon ruins the balance, and diminishes the skill required to succeed at competitive levels.

  • 07.11.2008 11:36 AM PDT

The BR is a good weapon. There is nothing wrond with it
