Br is fine anyone beast with it got any advanced worthwhile tips?

Yes... get host.

And then all of your shots will register, and not just half of them.

Every shot you fire (Unless you have a horrible connection) will register.
Not just the ones that hit the target.
Some will move.
The trajectory is: The bullet is fired, while it is flying through the air, it will begin to fall because of gravity.
If your shots aren't registering, you are missing.

That proves my point. No one gives a -blam!- about the players, its all about being #1. Case Closed


You're missing a few key steps in your chain of logic here...


A few? I thought it was pretty much all. If this kid says "true fans" one more time he's my new bestest friend.

My last thread: Why Reach Sucks

<3 Foman

The BR should have a spread like it does, but it should be an accurate spread and should have a better hit-scan system so our bullets that weren't randomly sprayed off target actually count!

There are many powers in the world, for good or for evil. Some are greater than I am. Against some I have not yet been measured. But my time is coming.

The bullets do count. I've gotten double kills in SWAT with one burst.

I love the BR it's way better than most of the other "common" weapons because it's long range and powerful!

Trust me, ask me, and I will teach thee.

i love the BR to, but just hate how some people get detirmined to cheat, like the the BR combo thing. Unfair in my opinion

But I do think that it could use a little tiny bit more power because when I play against people who use the AR I tend to lose about half the time. (yes that could be because of a lack of skill) But I like it a lot better because it has a lot longer range!

I HATE the BR combo. I like the BR but the Combo is just too powerful.

Halo CE > Halo 3 > Halo 2

Fix the Halo 3 BR spread, plz.

I think it's been settled that the main problem with the BR and most other weapons is that the shots tend to not register. In about 50% of my kills, I receive bullets back.

... but if all of MLG disappeared tomorrow, Halo 3 would still be the most successful game franchise on XBL and no one would even notice they were gone.

Oh really?

Is that why CoD4 has held the top XBL spot many a time.


Are you trying to make a case that MLG has something to do with Halo 3 ousting COD4? Or simply that COD4 happen to be at the top of the charts for awhile...then dropping after it's populartiy faded over time?

If you mean the former...well...I'd love to hear THAT theory, because that would be like saying the Star Wars Holiday Special helped Return of the Jedi be successful.

If you mean the latter...and you're taking issue with my use of the phrase "most successful"...then my point is actually bolstered by your mentioning of COD4 - because even after the "next big thing" (COD4, in this case) faded in popularity, Halo 3 is still going strong...unlike almost every other title on XBL, which fade deeper and deeper into obscurity when people stop playing them and never come back.

And...what you say is largely irrelevent to my main point, which is that when you look at the numbers the minority of BR complainers are a statistically insignificant group, who don't come close to speaking for the "true fans", the "competitive community," or even "MLG."

There are no hitscan weapons in Halo 3, check out the link Achronos gave you on the first page.

Sigh... please don't reply on something you know zero about - very ignorant.


Bullets not registering for the server side (those who are not host) is a very common occurrence in Halo 3. It it has zero to do with your aim not being accurate. It has mostly to do with Halo 3's netcode. Having a bad connection contributes to it, but even with the best connection, you'll see bullets hit them, but it will inflict no damage.

I was speaking toward the latter, about you boasting that Halo 3 was the most successful game on XBL.

Lets look at the XBL 2008 stats:

CoD4 #1 XBL Game: 23 times

Halo3 #1 XBL Game: 6 times

CoD4 Higher XBL Rank then Halo 3: 25 times

Halo 3 Higher XBL Rank then CoD4: 5 times


Hmmm... so now, how is CoD4 "fading in popularity", and Halo 3 "the most successful XBL" game, when it beat Halo 3 5:1?

It's just the other way around, Halo 3 is fading in popularity, while CoD4 is gaining.

Call of Duty 4 won't stay strong forever. Sure it had a sudden spike in popularity where it held the top XBL stats for awhile, but eventually it will fall. As 2008 comes to close, I notice more and more people reurning to Halo, many of them being die hard Call of Duty 4 fan. I'm no fanboy and I like both games equally, but I feel that Halo 3's popularity is going to rise in the near furture. Bungie is constantly adding to the game and Infinity Ward is not...enough said.

The Br is the best weapon, The ar is terrible. Br needs to be the starting weapon, maybe then players will start getting better at this game!

Well alright...maybe COD4 does indeed have more players. I admit I spoke without looking at recent numbers. However, in the end, looking at the hundreds of thousands who play Halo 3, you can still hardly say Halo 3 is unsuccessful. In fact, it's successful on a level that very few other games can claim.

Isn't this a very tangental debate though? The very fine point remains, that out of those same hundreds of thousands who play every night, the minority of BR complainers are a statistically insignificant group, who don't come close to speaking for the "true fans", the "competitive community," or even MLG.

Lol the people who like the current BR are probably people who never played halo 2. Get over it, the BR needs to be fixed, because there ARE no more button combos in H3. The BR was not overpowered in H2, anybody not retarded can use the SMG to take out the BR with smarts(like "getting the first shot"), but if you don't have a brain, then you yell about the BR being overpowered, because you will run at them with an SMG while they move back and BR you.

In Halo 3 though, the assault rifle is ridiculously overpowered close range. In Halo 2 the SMG did just as much, if not a little less, as much damage as the BR at semi-close range. In halo 3 it does like 1.5x as much
