the BR is my favorite weapon. Once you know how to use it well, you can really be deadly out there.

Watch this, now.
Halo 1>Halo 2>Halo: Reach>Halo 3

Anybody, and I repeat ANYBODY, who is bringing 'realism' into their argument against the BR being changed is a fool. There is absolutely NOTHING realistic about Halo. Giant apes running around with their own type of guns are not realistic, a 7 foot tall super soldier flipping 5 ton tanks is not realistic, and big glowing blue grenades that stick to people are not realistic.

So the fact that the spread on the BR may or may not be 'realistic' means nothing at all. Maybe in a game like Call of Duty or Battlefield it would, but in the Halo universe, it does not.

"Don't take life too seriously, nobody gets out alive anyway." Goes for anything I say; anything I do, doubly so.

Thank you.

While there are some elements of realism present in H3, it by no means is a simulation of real life.

Further: please find the recoil on an M16A2. I find it to be <.001º. That would put down a three-round grouping spread of about seven inches at two hundred yards (600'). While the BR shouldn't be that accurate, it seems insane to have the BR's grouping spread be about six inches in as short as 24 yards (72 feet at .38º). How on earth is that realistic? You tell me.

Bungie why did you leave halo!? *sobs*

nothings wrong with it sure when i was ten i liked the single shot version in the halo 2 trailer but its great powerful acurate what more can you ask for in a good assault rifle

Your pal from Area 51

i like BR :) i just need to get better at it

  • 08.02.2008 12:41 AM PDT

When the BR first appeared, I am sure this wasn't a problem. You learned to use it to it's strengths.

All the arguments it because it isn't an instant hit weapon. Well it was in Halo 2 and you learned to use it that way, it isn't in Halo 3 so learn to use it a different way. Think of it as a new gun.

I don't see why people think it's a problem. BR is nearly always my ToD now, it used to be either AR of Melee.

Also, I have only noticed this spring up over the past couple of days, so I can't tell whether it has been a noted 'problem' (yes they are inverted commas) before.

I still say Give us Single Shot BRs with the strength of a 3 round burst and lets see if people like it that way or with 3 shot burst.

And don't Bring up the whole "Then just use the carbine". No THIS is about the BR not the Carbine.

Same here. I still get kills from Ridiculus ranges and I dont have a problem with it

This is my BR. There are many like it but this one is mine. my BR is my best friend. it is my life. I must master it as i must master my life. without me, my BR is useless. without my BR i am useless. I must fire my BR true. I must shoot straighter than my enemy, who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will. before god i swear this creed: my BR and myself are defenders of my country, we are the masters of our enemy, we are the saviors of my life. so be it, until there is no enemy, but peace. Amen.

The BR is by far the best gun in the game. The BR makes this game. Ok, take the BR out and see how many good players quit. Also, watch MLG just fall apart. -LANimal

Spread is worse than call of duty's M16, and that gun gets headshots when you hit them in the foot.

OK first of all, many of you saying that the BR doesn't need changing, DONT EVEN USE THE BR.
All of you major grade 3's who have their tool of destruction as an AR. But for people who play this game competitively, The BR matters, everyone is so good with the weapon that when it comes to 1v1 BR battles, it becomes random and anyone can win the battle depending on who had the better random spread. So all were asking (MLG) is that you just tighten the spread of the BR, so it can be more of a consistent weapon. If you can't do it for the whole game, at least make the spread tighter for MLG Playlists and MLG Customs. So, everybody can be happy. One more thing, more than half these people need to go to school to learn some grammar and sentence structuring. Bungie you probably don't care what I have to say, I mean I'm only part of the MLG Community.
