I liked the way the old battle rifle shot, with single shots (even when not zoomed). Also, bungie... I noticed that you changed the way the MC holds the battle rifle. Look at the old E3 and the new one. In the new E3 his arm juts out, verticle. But in the old one his arm is lower. Try holding a gun the way the MC holds it in the new E3, very unrealistic. I say change the battle rifle to the way it was in the old E3 (the new mombasa one)

Both....They should have both in the game...Burst for those who can't pull the trigger fast enough, and not for those who can...


I play alot of R63 (Rainbow Six 3) on Xbox Live, and on that game, you gotta know how to pull the trigger to fire one bullet at a time, cause if you just hold it down over long ranges you won't kill crap, I dunno know bout you but in rainbow I can pull some fast rounds off....

I kinda expected the battle rifle to be like a famas (spelling) slower fire but you can squeeze off each round (if you wanted to). But in the E3 demo, you just tap the trigger and it shoots 3 rounds pretty fast.

I have to agree about the way he holds it, I'm sure that'll be fixed though.
I sortof like the 3 shot bursts though, it would be nice to have an option, like maybe a button to toggle it, like the back button, since thats not used.

i think it should be a three shot burst only if you pull hard but a two shoot for medium and one sjot for light pull

or it could be that you just hold down the trigger to burst, and tap to fire one round. Kinda like how the pistol fires semi-auto when you hold the trigger down. And the way he holds the battle rifle really pisses me off, they should have just kept it the way it was in the old E3.

Oh and by the way, I also saw that the reload in the new E3 was cut in HALF! he reloads so freakin fast. Should take at least a little longer, again... like in the old E3.

I like the old way MC held the BR too. the arm along the bottom of the screen looks a little lame, like his arm is locked in an akward position.

Burst fire is alright, but it really depends on how accurate it is at close, mediun range. For anything medium-long and long range I'll be using the scope anyways.

And people wonder why companies are hesitant to take heed of fans ideas, some of them are just plain retarded. Burst fire is cool, and its single shot if its zoomed anyway, so what are you babies crying about?
