Hello. I have been going through some of the other forums and have noticed quite alot of talk on the subject of the changes in the battle rifle, specifically the 3-shot burst. I was wondering what people here think about the subject. Personally I would perfer it to only be single shot but i could live without it. What do people here think??

it will make it better in close combat cuz u can get more rounds off faster. and yet still be great at mid/longe range wit the scope. i think i fouind my new favorite weapon :D

SB-117

It adds variety and strategy to how you shoot. 3 burst is less accurate and powerful and single is more precise and weaker.

i think it good the way it is. unzoomed fires 3 while zoomed fires 1 so u still get ur one shot fire in there. everyones happy yay!!!

Maybee they should let you choose like have a little thing in your profile that says:" Do you want the battle rifle to fire single shot or three shot burst" That would be nice because it would satisfy all the people wanting three shot or single. The thing I have against three shot is say your up against a hunter and you only need one shot in the orange part to kill him. Then what is the point in firing three shots. Or make it like if you tap the trigger it fires 1 shot and if you press it it's three shots.

Not nescessaraly because sometimes youre are to close to use the zoom. It would be like walking around with the pistol of halo 1 on zoom because you only want 1 shot.

if u r too close then y the hell would u want to use just one shot fires meanwhile while the other guy is like unloading a whole clip into ur upper chest.

good point, beside being in scope view at close range wouldn't work, you'd get hit too often

Everyone knows right that weapons with burst can fire off a single shot you just lightly pull the trigger.

No where but basic logic:

Lets say that this gun is a replacement of a combo between the Pistol and AR well the pistol fired fast but you could still get off one shot and the AR was a full auto weapon but you could still get off one shot. so unless they make it so no matter what you do you can only shoot the Three shot burst(which i doubt) there is most likely a chance that it will shoot single shot when a light pull of the trigger is done

Lets focus on SP for right now: if you are up against some grunts you dont need all those shots to kill them. Look at the pistol, it was single shot and yet it was one of the best weapons in the game. Now branching of into MP if you fire three shot bursts at someones head you wont get them all while single shot you probably will.
