Oh, and what's wrong with the netcode? If it works on LAN perfectly then it's not the netcode, it's the host of the online game.

Hmmm? Netcode handles data transfer across LAN or modems. Just because there isn't any problems across a LAN doesn't mean it's not the netcode.

Hey, where's all the ignorant nimrods that always seem to appear in other threads?

GASP! Could it be that they are staying away from a thread where they might actually have to contribute instead of whine? No way!



Nope, the pinned topic threads are harder to see. If you call the 65+ pages of posts in Zach's thread 'whining", then you sir are as ignorant as Bungie.

If you'd perhaps like to know that was not aimed at you. It was aimed at those whose typing resembles this:

Br iZ teh B3sT uzzz n00b555!!!!!!!!!11111111!!!!!!!!!11

You are much more sensible.

But to the point, removing the random spread is removing a real world, real life concept. Thus detracting from realism. In real life, sometimes it's based on luck too. You're lucky Bungie didn't incorparate wind and air resistence, not to mention gravity. That would be interesting.


in my opinion a game set 100s of years in the future can have all "realism" go out the window. I mean its a fictional game, its not a real setting or in a real pleace or time period that we have encountered, its PURE FICTION. Which lets them pretty much be able to do whatever they want. And the humans have new technologies all through out the game, so why does the battle rifle have to be "realistic", i mean they couldnt have theoretically developed a rifle that had no spread?

and that leads me to another point. why change it in h3? it was an accurate pin point weapon in the last two games, why try and go "realistic" in the last one.

also a point about realism and game play. take a look at CoD4, probably the one of the most realistic modern war shooters to date, and look at the most popular weapon in that game, the M16 (pretty much the cod4 BR), and look at that gun it shoots straight shots every time, now why did they do that? yeah cause a weapon that contributes to the game play of the game is better than a "truly realistic" weapon.

WTF?!? why would you make a silenced weapon LOUDER Bungie???
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\keep it clean\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

I completely agree with "Scotty". The BR is a one hit kill in halo 2, and my friend that playes it agrees completely. I am getting good with it now, and its all random. Just keep the bullet spred tighter, and it will be fine.

  • 09.30.2008 4:57 PM PDT

when the census came around, for religion I put Bungie.

The BR is the greatest weapon ever!!! w00t!!!!! I love it so much the majority of my kills are BR

  • 09.30.2008 5:55 PM PDT

this thread is sort of pointless because olny the people who like the br post here and to people who dont troll the main forum.

THE BR IS SICK ARRRGGGGGG

K, the h2 br was definitely better, but i get why they downgraded it. If u just started playing h3, and the br was the same, ud get destroyed by people who played h2. So the br is harder to use now, to even out the balances

Yes, people would still whine, because Bungie will never make the spread a constant, it will always be random.

Oh, and what's wrong with the netcode? If it works on LAN perfectly then it's not the netcode, it's the host of the online game.


Is the netcode the same for LAN and xbox live? I am sure that I have read somewhere that it is not.

Well if it's Obvious, People Buy New Games for New Content, Not for the Same content they've had in halo 2, As I'm Aware halo 3's BR is Similar the way you have to aim in Halo 1, Not in Halo 2, as we Can't Probperly do these Cool fancy things "BXB?" I don't really know what The Abbreviations Are.

  • 10.01.2008 7:50 AM PDT

Beware the smiley face! =D

I like it the way it is, In Halo 2 it was too overpowered.

There is no problem with the br if you have trouble killing with it the problem is you or a lower conection speed so if you don't like these facts then train to get better with it or get a better internet provider (if needed) geting a better conection wilnot fix bad aim though

The BR is fine. If u can't four shot all the time it is not the BR its YOUR accuracy.

It should be the same except better short range. I was just wandering how it could be strong medium range but, weak short range.I understand how it's weak long range though and inconsistancy is way more realistic.

The BR is fine. If you can't four shot, then you need to get closer where the BR's randomly wide spread has a greater chance of hitting your target everytime, and you need to be host or your bullets will disappear.


It's good you voiced your opinion, but I chose to make a correction to your statement so you sound a little more truthful.

Nobody can "four shot all the time" in standard MM settings (non-mlg). Maybe once a day it happens (depending on how much one plays).

You basically have to be standing still, with the enemy also standing still to get a 4 shot. Any movement will throw the spread off just so slightly that 1 bullet misses and you have to 5 shot.

It is insane. They could tighten the spread a bit and it wouldn't all of a sudden become the H2 BR. H2 BR was hitscan which is why it was like a damn sniper rifle.

Just tighten the spread by 50% and it would be much less inconsistent.

This might be very hard to program, but how about there is 0 spread and the bullets lose a lot of their power outside of their intended range of use. That would be perfect.

well apparently when it shoots the three bullets that are fired per round are like 0.26 degress off, and heaps of ppl are getting angry over it. i think its called the BR spread....but not sure
