If the person that gets the first shot doesn't win then the guy he shoots is a better aim, so how is it not fair?


Edit: I meant to quote z floosy

I hate to use the BR in halo 2 but I like to use it in Halo 3

  • 03.25.2009 6:11 AM PDT

Originally the Halo 2 BR spread like the H3 BR, but Bungie changed it. They were both made BY DESIGN to work the way they do (except for BxR and QuAdShOt, but thats a given) I enjoy H3's BR because I can use my AR effectively.

Because halo 2's br goes straight and halo 3's br goes in a circle

  • 03.25.2009 7:11 PM PDT

who ever is saying the halo 3 br is better and that it takes more skill to use is an idiot. First of all halo 3s netcode is trash so half your shots dont even register. And then the spread of the BR in halo 3 is completely random and is determined by a math equation. So in a perfectly controlled situation where both players have the same amount of skill, who ever gets the better randomly generated numbers placed into thier equation wins. The fact that bungie would create a weapon based off this is appalling, and shows that they are turning the halo series into a joke. The BR doesnt even take skill to use anymore. And in terms of button glitches, they added more depth to the game imo. In halo 3 when you are down one shot in a br fight you are dead, whereas in halo 2 you could make clutch plays with the button glitches. I would hope that Bungie would take a turn with the next game they produce, or at least update this game like they did with halo 2 and change the BR and other bullet registarion issues within the game.

Been banned 3 times for telling the truth on the forums. Just another way for Bungie to fail, hard.

Everything that Bungie does that is dumb (which is a majority) is because they can't do it.

Example: The switch from H2 to H3...

No BxR, RRX, Super Jumps, etc because they couldn't do it and they tried to make themselves feel better.
Ranking up so easily in H3, because they couldn't get past a 24 in H2. (It didn't work, though lol)
Make stupid maps that are uneven and are littered with equipment to protect themselves.


But yes, Halo 2's Battle Rifle is amazing.

i like them both, if i played with the exact same BR in halo 3 as i did in halo 2, i think i would be kinda P.O. about it. like they didn't even try to change the game for the better. i remember basically sniping between the 2 bases in tombstone with the BR. halo 2's BR was really not realistic.

i think the thing i liked the most was the beastly sound the BR made in halo 2, that thing RIPPED. the BR is halo 3 sounds like a cheap lawn sprinkler.

HCE Pistol was fun for LAN or small games...but even then its horrible, horrible overpoweredness shines through. Its just too strong.

If you couldn't get a legit 50 in H3 then you suck so bad You're opinion is null to me.

If you think my Reach K/D is bad, it's because I play the one playlist that requires 2 hands to win in.

If you think you're better than me, 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, or 4v4 me. And we'll see what happens ;).

but this is all you need to know about me

halo 3's br is harder to use than halo 2's

unless it comes to quad shotting

  • 03.27.2009 1:34 PM PDT

What spectagon are you in?

br in halo 2 is easier.

  • 03.27.2009 1:57 PM PDT

VJ Iz Not SiK :D

It actually takes skill on halo 2 to out BR someone.. People think button glitches are too much on halo 2, so they have halo 3 to save themselves.. Halo 2 BR's are more accurate than Halo 3 BR's

  • 03.27.2009 2:41 PM PDT

I personally think the halo 2 BR is better than the halo 3 BR. In halo 3, I find the BR "un-fun", but in halo 2, there something about the halo 2 br that makes it fun. I have not played online play let, but I have used the BR in campaign.

You kids are pathetic, listen to yourselves...."I like H2 BR, because it has massive auto aim and it takes no skill to aim with it" <<That is what you guys are pretty much saying. You are GOD d.a.m.n pathetic. Stick with Galo 2 because you can't use the H3 BR cuz you're garbage!! lol use all the excuses you want, you kids are just garbage at H3.

lol you're a noob if you think that is true!! wow, here let me give you kids the story here....Galo 2...the weapons have "AUTO AIM" it's not much, but it's there, that's why modding was a big hit with Galo 2. Now, in H3, they took the auto aim almost completely out so that way you HAVE TO LEAD YOUR SHOTS!!! Did you ever notice that in Galo 2 if you put your rocket on a warthog and didn't touch your controller your screen would follow the warthog? Yeah that's called auto aim for all you noobs that think the Galo 2 BR is better than H3's BR.

So here's the break down, Galo 2 has massive auto aim, about .943, H3 has about .012 Omg! wow what a cut down don't ya think?!?!?! .943 is what makes noobs like you love Galo 2's BR so much more because it takes no skill to play Galo 2 due to the noob auto aim. Thats the reason why the BR in Galo 2 is "MORE" accurate.

H3 is a much better game than Galo 2, It takes more skill, and a lot of people that are ok at Galo 2, blow in H3.

Flame this reply all you want, I never come into the forums, I don't know why I did today, but I just wanted to see all the kids that have a few screws loose upstairs if you know what I mean. Obviously, there are a lot. So have fun, flame all you want, I won't see it.

Oh, and H2 sucks, almost as much as this pointless Thread.

Same reason they changed the pistol from halo one, it was way to powerful.

  • 03.28.2009 5:02 PM PDT

There is no such thing as a free lunch.

I have played both games and find the difference to be minimal, then again, I guess I was not exactly looking for the differences between weapons because I was having way to much fun. Now, I did notice the difference between the magnum from Halo CE and H2 and H3. That was ridiculous, you could go through the majority of Halo CE with just the magnum. This also reminds me of a forum entry where one person was asking Bungie to place a Sniper Rifle in H3 that could fire the length of the board....(insert snicker here if you wish)

Another thing I can tell you is that I have fired quite a few weapons in my day as a former US Marine. First thing, a pistol doesn't rule over all other weapons. In fact, it is extremely short ranged. This isn't to say if one was to get tagged with, oh say, a Desert Eagle, it would most certainly ruin your day. Now in terms of 3 shot burst weapons...in all cases the rounds do spread out, they do NOT follow in each others path, that is physics 101. So, logically...Bungie did what they do best, create weaponry that, for the most part, adheres to physics. I much prefer balanced game play to games with uber-weapons that make anyone invincible, eg, the Spanker in H2 had that annoying lock on feature...as if it was not already powerful enough.

When I play games especially shooters, I learn each one individually with out to much comparison across games all it does is make you mad, wish the weapon was in another game etc. Use the weapons in the game as they pertain to the tactical situation, for e.g. if you are on a CQB map, it is extremely unwise to use a sniper rifle.

What did it matter that the Halo CE pistol was too powerful for a handgun. It performed the role of a rifle and that's all that mattered it terms of gameplay. If the BR in Halo 2 or 3 looked like a pistol and performed exactly the same as a BR would you say it's unbalanced because it was too powerful?

  • 03.29.2009 2:54 AM PDT

Hi!

Yes the BR is a medium rang weapon well da , I was playing a game last night on standoff and every time I would have the BR in close rang the AR would always win da again the AR is close range , but even if i shoot them way before they shoot me the AR wins.BR Is not good at close rang unless you walk backwards and shoot,and one more thing dont yell at me for geting anything ronge as you can tell its my second day.

Amen to this guy, finally someone ive read who knows what they are talking about.

To those saying the halo 2 br is easier to use than the h3 one LOL, that the fuking reason why it takes skill to use it. The pure FACT that where you aim it shoots is why in a 1vs1 out bring someones is DIFFICULT if you had 2 good player they will both have minimum 90% aim on the head, youll either have to doubleshot or jump to get that extra shot. Its fkn pathetic in h3 all kids do is bumper jump and the problem with the netcode is the hit boxes on halo 3 are fluid whereas on halo 2 they are static (which is how fkn hitboxes should be) I dont want to snipe someone 10 miles in front of them cos they are moving left ffs. I remember I put 3 shots in this kid in h3 and he jumped but WHILST he was jumping i saw it coming so i aim above his head and pulled the trigger, the little bastards hitboxes all pushed downwards and took there sweet time to get in place where his head was in the air, that was against a 50 in mlg when i was on my level 50 account and trusting bungie i walked away after that shot only to realise the douche shooting me in the back was none other than him. I mean i beat this kid 1vs1 in h3 like 25-15, then he said in h2 hed "fuk me up" so i went into h2, switched to claw and fuked him up 25-2. halo 3, i will admit has SOME good player, but other than that was made for bad kids who just out ping everyone. this trash kids in halo 2 will be like level 20ish.

LOL at the kid (ReBORN BAPTIST) saying theres barely no auto aim in halo 3, theres -blam!- LOADS of auto aim on h3. Oh wait I forgot its not auto aim, its auto MAGNETISM, say it with me auto MAGNETISM. t just slows down the reticle when you go over someone. unless youre sniping on 10 sens that can actually hinder you if you try to bxr someone and try to go to there head. You, ReBORN BAPTIST, are obviously trash at halo 2 and is one of those xbox live kid son halo 3 with fkn 20mb internet who just sponge everyones shots and gets host 80% of the time and barely gets bull-blam!-ed. i bet a million pound on LAN halo 3 youd get -blam!- on.

play halo 2 and see what level you get, come talk to me when you get above level 31. your 50 is in team doubles the EASIEST playlist in halo 3, holy crap why are you even talking?
