I think there should be brs with different colors

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. You also need to pray the hardest to the Bungie God that your bullets are accurate, just like you pray that your hamster will win the internal Bungie hamster race used to determine host selection.


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


QFT and expanded upon.

I personally find the "problem" with the BR is made as obvious as can be in Team Swat. If you can't already see the effects of the BR spread, do yourself a favor and rank up a bit in Team Swat (so you're not playing against complete mental patients), maybe into the 20s or 30s, and pay attentions to how random killing becomes at anything longer than a few feet away. You'll begin to notice yourself having full on BR battles, almost like you're playing a regular playlist, where you and the opponent take 5-6 shots at each other only to have one of you get lucky and have one hit. It's fairly ridiculous.

This is a RETICULE, and that is a RETICLE. I'm using the latter to aim. And what are you using?

That's exactly why I prefer the carbine. :p

I know carbine starts are impossible, but they can be placed on several maps (Guardian, High Ground, etc). I say keep the BR the way it is, as it has flaws at beyond mid distances, but up the carbine's accuracy so it is the best mid-longer range weapon. Now BR is close-mid to mid and carbine excels more at long. Yes, carbine can beat BR at close, but you have to be pretty good. Now the weapon that's to be used at long range actually takes skill (BR doesn't take all that much skill, IMO), as it requires 9 vs 4 separate shots/aiming, has 3 kills less per gun, one less per clip, etc.

i like the BR but on maps like valhalla it lacks the range i would like.

it would be cool to see a new gun that is semi auto, and has more strength than the br but less than the sniper but it shoots slower, idk lemme know what u guys think.

btw dont whine about how "geh da br iz!!1" cuz if u dont like it dont use it.

  • 10.02.2008 10:15 AM PDT

I dont think theres anything wrong with it.

if anything you guys made it more realistic therefore better

  • 10.02.2008 12:06 PM PDT

Agreed

Oh man...I agree. I played a Team BRs on Valhalla yesterday. The host on the other team was from a different country and my BR shots did absolutely nothing at long range and didn't register at short range.

Meanwhile the host and his team are tearing my team apart, cross map 4 shotting us. Lame.
And I'm not a BR noob either Im a pretty decent 37 in MLG, and I go in alone.

I like the BR just the way it is.

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

I feel the same way

The next person to assume I am talking about ranked, do us all a favor and look at what I play!

I second the notion that there are fewer six year olds flaming in leet about how awesome the BR is.

Translation for leet users.

I also like to point out weapon choice for any of you leet speakers that understand proper english.

I get this all the time playing in the UK against American hosts, the game is pretty much meaningless online.

the weapon spread isnt the issue, its the bullet speed.
there are only a few maps in the game where realistically you'd have to lead that much to get a headshot in swat
other than that, the accuracy is true

i find using the bottom cross of the reticule is more accurate than the center

sigh, i just want to know why not? what is so bad about tightening the spread just a tad bit. Do you guys not think that all your fans hate you and you could do one simple thing. ONE THING! about the br. then why not, that's -BLAM-ing retarded.

  • 10.04.2008 12:31 PM PDT

OMG losson the spread i got killed by a guy with a br and he was really far away the spread is WAY to tight,

  • 10.05.2008 9:41 AM PDT

Death is a natural course of life, you should embrace the lives of the allies I have taken from you.

I've noticed lately, that there are some players of 40+ rank that have extremely accurate Battle Rifles, so I researched them (the evidence of which has been lost). Maybe it's hacks? I doubt it, but what I did find, was that most of the players with the considerably more accurate BRs were Halo 2 players with high skill. This leads me to believe that - due to rumors I've heard about the BR being a more accurate weapon in Halo 2 - Halo 2 accounts that have been recovered from regular XBOX live from Halo 2 have much more accurate BRs than us Halo 3 players that never really played Halo 2.

The BR is to weak. It needs a little more power. Also they follow me everywhere. Every map no matter where i go there's a BR. There's a BR around every corner. They follow me just begging me to pick it up. In fact i think it's watching me right now.... OH NO!! it heard me!! :o
