I don't see what's wrong. I think the 4 shot system is great. It's better than in Halo 2.

I have just decided to drop my trusty ar and start owning with the br. The two things i will miss from the ar is full auto(it is really fun) and being able to carry around 400 rounds. I will have to get used to only carrying 130 rounds.

I like battle rifles but only if you can pick them up it becomes a bit silly when everyone has one at the begining

Peopl ewant the BR liek in Halo 2 with double shot, BxR, But i like it still

  • 08.24.2008 4:57 AM PDT

all live the BR

  • 08.24.2008 9:03 PM PDT

You know how people just -blam!- on the fact that the BR spread is too wide or too small. I personally think it is perfect. I could be a little biased considering I did do this. amazing Yeah I got a triple kill with one BR burst. If you still don't believe me look at my fileshare video.

  • 08.24.2008 9:15 PM PDT

the ppl who complain r the ones who suck at it. ppl tend 2 say it sucks wen they get killed by it.

My thoughts:

*The BR was designed with strengths and weaknesses.
*The weaknesses were added in to offset the strengths.
*It takes skill to use the BR like JonnyOThan said.
*The BR is as effective as it was designed to be.
*Bungie DOESNT have to fix the BR because it is the way they want it to be.

So, if you don't like the BR there is one real simple solution.......................Don't Use It




yeah I agree but not the same can be said about the AR, every game you start with it, whether you like it or not. It's in Team Slayer and in Team BRs so its like a dumb shadow that never goes away

We are the Knights Who Say Ni. We are the keepers of the sacred words, Ni, Peng, and Neewhom.

I can't say that the BR is perfect, but it is still my favorite weapon. I definitely liked it better on Halo 2, but it is still almost all I use, and I have long ago gotten used to it so there is really no point in complaining. I wish Bungie had kept the spread the same, but even in Halo 2 I often had to lead my targets because of excessive lag, so the change isn't that extreme.

In H2 I couldn't see the real advantages of using the Br over the carbine and vice versa so I would grab whatever was available, but now I can see a definitive difference and they both have their uses the main one being: if more people used the carbine you'd hear less complaining about BR spread to say the least.

i get ticked off when some one shoots an ar at me from across the map and hits me, i think they should get rid of ar and stick with br only as starting weapon

  • 08.26.2008 5:45 PM PDT

Hey, I'm listening to the Bungie podcast, and they just said "BATTLE RIFLE! Never changing."

People only complain about the BR because they're not auto lock-on in Halo 3, so it requires skill, which is why people don't like it.

We're asking Bungie to make it harder to use, not easier. Tightening the spread will require greater accuracy to reap the full benefits.

I like the BR just the way it is.

I really don't see what's wrong with it.


My thoughts are with mooshmoossh, there is simply no problem with the BR and I really don't see what everybody is complaining about, it is a very reliable and trustworthy weapon which is great for almost every single situation.
