It's hard to believe that so many people are fine with the current BR. In Halo 2, the BR required more skill because if you didn't 4 shot someone then you're probably gonna die. Now, at mid-range, and even closer than mid-range, it takes 5 or 6 shots which means you don't have to worry about getting 4 shot, and thus, requires less skill. Anyone can with decent aim hit someone 5 or 6 times. Also, by taking away the mid-range 4 shot, some of the fun was taken away. I'm not saying the Halo 2 BR was how it should be, because everyone knows it had too much auto-aim, too much magnetism, and, after the update, a very tight spread.
I'm not saying they should change the randomness of the spread or even tighten the spread, because everyone seems to prefer realism over fun. However, I suggest making headshots stronger or making the shields go out faster. Nothing will make the BR overpowered, because Halo 3 has moved most of the fighting to close range.
Well, there's my stance on the subject, and I'm glad I got that off my chest. I'm not trying to start an argument, so keep your immature remarks to yourself. I'll be fine if no BR update occurs, but would enjoy the game much more. I am interested to see what happens to the forums, when Bungie decides to ignore the competitive community and leave the BR alone.
The H3 BR takes more skill than the H2 BR despite it's random properties. That is a fact. The overall pace of Halo 2 was much faster than Halo 3 which made Halo 2 take more skill overall. Don't confuse the intensity and speed of the games with the amount of weapon (technical) skill there is.
