We just need to instigate more elitism and Mythic shenanigans.

Did I ever say take out leading? Yeah take it out at like 10 yards..you shouldn't have to lead there. But if you want to bring up the point about it being in the future and keeping up the times..well...here goes...If it is 400 years in the future, don't you think that they would have a gun that could eliminate spread? Come on...
Note that this isn't an attack directed at you...just your comments.
Yeah, that would explain why there is also bullet spread on the Assault Rifle, Shotgun, and Mauler in H3. Or why the plasma pistol, plasma rifle, or beam rifle overheat after continued use! I mean come on Bungie, we're talking about the future here!! You don't think heat-sink technology would have advanced to the point where a simple plasma weapon wouldn't overheat?
If you are saying that a "realism" argument can't be used in regards to the BR with why it has bullet spread you can't at the same time expect the same argument to be used in regards to the AR, Shotgun, or Mauler.
So ask yourself? Why should the AR or Shotgun have bullet spread. If your justification starts with "because it's a full-automatic weapon" or "it's a shotgun"...you can't say that the BR shouldn't have a bullet spread as well.
~B.B.
This is exactly the reason we can't put realism into effect in this game. First off, if you want to talk realism, we would have larger clips, better calibers, etc. I understand where you are coming from though....I think...and you have one of the most well prepared arguments so far. And a shotgun should have a bullet spread because...well isn't that what a shotgun is supposed to do? Another thing. We don't want a BR that can 4 shot across the map. We want an accurate]/b] BR spread that promotes skill instead of randomness.
EDIT: I just thought of something.
A good example of what we want the spread to be like is the M16 in CoD4. The weapon [b] has a spread, but it is very small so it promotes skill.
If we looked at Halo realistically, it is all BS. Even if we accept that in a half century they have energy shields and space flight, which is plausible; if we look at how warfare has evolved over time, when halo takes place the weapons would be so powerful and have so much range that everyone would be killed as soon as they were in range, the weapons would probably be able to go through solid metal. Also all of the combat would be from vehicles, mostly orbital bombardment, which would be accurate and controlled to the point that collateral damage would be nonexistent, but the power would still be strong enough to destroy the toughest bunkers.
So we have to look at in terms of game ballance and fun. Every weapon adds variety, while keeping the game ballanced. In Halo 2, the BR was the only common weapon that had good range and power. In Halo 3, there are more good medium range weapons, so the BR should not destroy everything past a few yards.
