The Battle Rifle is basically the infamous n00b pistol on steroids. More ammo per clip, more accurate, longer zoom.


Well, I have yet to determine how accurate the Battle Rifle is at range in three shot bursts. One of the new techniques in the sequel will be keeping opponents from "zooming" in on their targets, whether it be to disrupt accuracy, or target tracking. What good does zooming in for that extra accuracy of the single shot do for ya when you keep getting pelted with bullets? I think the BR fights could end up being long and drawn out at high noon, with an importance placed on ammo count left in the clip. Can you keep track of your ammo count in a massive battle when you're wasting one bullet here - three there? I like it!





Many Pistol battles are won and lost becuase one person takes time to conserve ammo, and make sure EVERY SHOT counts.


I'm not really sure I understand your reply? No one trys to conserve ammo for any greater cause in the PC or Xbox version. They just point click the mouse or pull the trigger over and over.

Anyways, you should try a PC mod that allows the pistol to shoot single shots when zoomed, and in three shot bursts un-zoomed. The accuracy of the 3 shot bursts should be set to the accuracy (or should I say innaccuracy?) of the pistol when holding down the trigger, rather than the accuracy of the pistol when pulling the trigger once every shot.

Your entire team will most likely be out of ammo before you make across the map to the enemies base in a good ol' ctf game. But what would I know.. I'm certainly no genius. : )

But I am a mother -blam!- murderer that pwns nobodies.




Can you even GET mods for the demo version of Halo PC? And I capitalized Battle Cry, becuase since it's personalized for every Marine, I believe it is a proper noun.
