Trying to figure out what the problem is.. when we were given the BR instead of the AR
in Halo 2 i was pretty annoyed, Now we have both what's the problem?
Surely it's a case of you either like it or you dont?
If you don't like Big macs go to kFC don't tell Mcdonalds to change the big mac!!
Just my opinion.

I have countless of vids where i hit them in the head with no shields and they just wont die, why does my ridicule turn red with a dot and miss? whats the point of even having a ridicule if your shots wont go where you aim?


I'm not trying to RIDICULE you, honestly, but...

there's something unfair about the br? It isn't the easiest gun to use, but acquiring the skill is well worth the kills the br brings.

Your pal from Area 51

can you still do that BXR thing you could do in halo 2? lol i have no idea becuz i never see ppl doing it or im so blind i cant see it... laugh if u want but dont make idiotic responses

  • 08.21.2008 3:12 PM PDT

Im sure there is some way to BXR in Halo 3 but Im not one to look too deep into it. ;)

For People Whining:
In halo 3 the design team wanted it to be fair, because it was realized in Halo 2 that it is too good. So for halo 3 they wanted things more balanced (in my opinion). So they Gave it less power at long and short range.....

This qoute is from the first page.
I dunno if your br is still broken, but mine works great. Especially at long ranges. For example... TS on The Pit. At start of match... I can bassically stand just below the top of the ramp by the needler and 4shot anybody attempting to grab the rockets. One guy, I got him as he was comming out of the shotgun spawn. The BR seems to work perfect at all ranges.

I'm a horrible person - I made a BR thread outside this one. Not to mention it wasn't a matchmaking post and I put it in Optimatch. It got locked, fair enough - if you meet me in real life Shishka, you can punch me in the face if you want.

My misplaced suggestion for BR recoil

I think my idea deserves some consideration though. Basically I think the spread should be replaced by recoil - there is a bit of discussion about this in my post, but I didn't get to reply to the smart-idea-hater who replied just before it got locked.

You made me LOL. Do you have ANY idea how hard that would be?
Can you imagine how much of an impact that would do to all the colonels, brigadiers, and generals csince that is what they use to get 90% of their kills? And considering most people keep firing one shot after another and nobody will fire once, wait, then fire again it would completely ruin the battlerifle.

The recoil should be just enough to make long range shooting difficult - I may have to contradict myself by saying that if you can manage to fire consistently, a small amount of pressure on the thumbstick would negate the recoil. If this makes the BR too powerful, the recoil could also go left or right, and be randomized.

BR is for fools, magnum is where it's at....


...unless you need wussy assists like a spread or really long bullets, or magnetism or a scope

I'm saying, do you have any idea how hard it would be for bungie to change a weapon in an update? Extremely.

i agree the only people that dont like the BR are the people who cant aim good so they use the assault rifle to get better at aiming

I'm not sure if you're right about that... they put a redesigned hornet in Avalanche, didn't they? The spread would be easy to set to zero, and the recoil/climb mechanics are already in place on the SMG. It's not a stretch to assume Bungie made their game with the ability to change such simple features post-release.

Then again, we still can't have carbines or beam rifles as starting weapons, so I could be wrong.

E.L.I.T.E.C.H.R.S.T.N

br's are good----if u now how 2 use them.
i like ar for like when in tight spots and regular shield only beecoz the br is a burst wepon and if u can't shoot at some1 first with br u'll priy die but ar r good becoz full auto and u can get close enough somtimes to hit them or stick em but like sometimes if they er heading towrds u realy fast ar will never let u down(well unless u don't now how 2 use then i hope u have a needler becoz ur screwed if can't use either then well there's anther death 4 u i guess).
also bungie y did u take ar out of h2 and also was the br in h1?(didn't play yet)

  • 08.22.2008 6:35 PM PDT

There is only one logical explanation for this. HAX!

Internet Points: 4

Here is a video i made exposing the truth.

  • 08.22.2008 10:19 PM PDT

I am pleased with my mythic map pack, thank you very much, Bungie.
^_^

The only thing that is wrong with the battle rifle is that Luke Broke It... -_-


or so i have heard from the bungie podcast anyways... >_>

im not sure if its me because i stopped playing the game for a few months. but did it use to be 4 headshot kill but now its 5 ?. or have i just got worse with headshots.

  • 08.23.2008 5:28 PM PDT

dat feeling when you plow a multi-ton covenant war machine.

i like the br but i find that its way too common. most people have learned ways to pretty much turn it into a power weapon.I just think their too common.
