Since the battle rifle has three shot burst unzoomed, do you think one burst to the head would cause an instant kill? If it did i would find it very unbalanced.

someone was saying in another thread earlier that it took 6-9 shots to kill someone without hitting them in the head, but since its a 3-shot burst it would be unlikely for all of the bullets in the burst to hit the enemy in the head, ya never know

It won't kill in one burst. I'm sure (or praying) that bungie won't make another pistol out of the battle rifle. If they do, I won't use the BR.

SB-117

The battle rifle will be balanced. I think 3 shot burst will be the equiv of one pistol shot and unzoomed fire will be the equiv. of 1/3 of a pistol shot (in power).

it seemed to me that the single shot fire for the battlerifle is EXACTLY the same as the pistol.....

if you watch the E3 2004 video when the guy shoots the ghost the wing falls off in 4 shots.....seeems pretty powerful to me, other people have gone to the length of seeing whether the calibre is the same between the pistol and the BR and they are, rate of fire is the same also

Yes, but stuff is likely to change so maybe the BR will get down grade in power.

But the battle rifle is to big to dual wield what if you could dual wield 2 pistols just think about it. It would be awesome.

oh well i can always make do with the battle rifle. i mean the way it shoots when its not in scope reminds me of the assault rifle. except its much more accurate.

If your hoping its not like the pistol. Why can't it. I mean it is a rifle, no a measly pistol. It should be as good as it is.

The battle rifle has to be balance in order for halo 2 to be much funner...and if it's like the pistol while zoomed in, by the time u get shot it will unzoom itself and back 3 burst fire, which i think its fair..Remember the pistol, no matter if u were zoomed in or out it still had the same power...

i hope they make a pistol with equal power and no scope with a very small reticle and only 7 shots that would be fair like a desert eagle

Yeah, I think a 3 round burst won't be as powerful as a pistol. The pistol has more stopping power because of the size of the bullets. They are more powerful than a rifle's bullet. So, it might take 2-3 three-round bursts to kill someone, if you shoot thme in the head. It balances out the pistol. I think so. It's the third most powerful gun (sniper, pistol, battle rifle) that shoots bullets, not rockets. What do you guys think?
