Both the Carbine and the Battle rifle own, but which ones better???? I love both weapons and if i can get the chance to get to pick one up. Post which you would rather pick up and why?. : D

Why are you here?

The carbine is more host dependent than the br. I choose the br over the carbine almost everytime, but if I have host it can be a hard decision.

I would always have to use a Battle Rifle, it just feels right when you use it you know? The Carbine always gets back seat to the BR lol. Its been a while since I personally used a Carbine seeing how Halo 3 doesn't use them as much on maps.

RIP Halo 2

I must admit, I rarely use the Carbine. I mainly go for a BR first thing, unless I spawn with one.

i think the BR's more versatile, and it allows you to spray your shots and pick off multiple targets, you also don't need to press the trigger as much to do as much damage, while its harder to hit all three shots you could say its easier to miss the 'one shot' with the carbine.
so yeah BR everytime for me

Since organized communities are usually more enjoyable, you should take your time to read the forum rules to save yourself some trouble and help keep the forums clean :-)

I always had a preference for the Carbine in Halo 2. I don't know exactly why, but it just felt better than a Battle Rifle. I actually leaned towards all Covenant weapons back then for some reason, even though I was better with the human versions.

Odd...

I perfer the Carbine in general, but the BR is the smarter choice online. Why?

If you aren't host then the bullet registration packets can often lost in the whole information transferring process. With the Carbine, this is far more of a problem because it is a single-shot gun, and that bullet lost could the difference between a win and a loss. With the BR, it fires three seperate bullets at a time, and therefore even if one bullet doesn't register, the other two probably will, still inflicting a sizeable amount of damage. Now, this is never problem when having host, but that's not very often.
