In Halo 2 the bullets are closer together and it fires faster.

Halo 2 BR = Looks and sounds better. Bullets shoot closer together which kills them faster.

Halo 3 BR = Looks and sounds stupid. Have to Lead your shots like in Halo 1

RIP Halo 2

People need to stop blaming the BR. It's not that BR sucks, Halo 3 just isn't that good when compared to Halo 2.

halo 2 br, you dont have to aim as much. or lead shots or even get near their face for a head shot.


you could BXR you could BXRB, you could BXR auto reload to shoot 3-4 bursts + a full clip(it realoads on the 3rd-4th burst and you get a full clip.)

The Halo 3 BR has a lot less bullet magnetism, it's harder to use, the spread doesn't make that big of a difference.

This guy's just about got it. Compared to the H3 BR, the H2 BR fires faster and is more accurate.

Been playing Halo since 2001. I know my Halo.

The H2 BR was an over-powered death machine, and that's how people liked it. It was a hit scan weapon with no spread, so you didn't have to lead your shots. It was also topped off with the button glitches, that made anyone who didn't have a BR a dead man.

The H3 BR was not nerfed, but made harder to use. It's no longer a death-machine to everyone, and takes much more skill to use. It has a bullet spread, which can cause a bullet out of the 3 in a burst to miss if you aren't accurate. You have to lead your shots at medium to long range.

All button glitches were removed, so somebody who deserved a kill won't have their enemy turn around and quad-shot them anymore.

The halo 2 BR is plain dumb and a waste of time....

  • 05.06.2009 12:29 PM PDT

The H2 BR was too easy to use, and the H3 BR is considered too limited by some.

you must have just sucked at halo 2.
i have not heard one competitive player say that scrub. you must have been a tower of power kid or lol lets spend hours getting out of maps for no reason person.

2 of the 3 shots from the Halo 3 BR have a slightly random spread.

Halo 2 does not, but you don't have to lead shots. I never found shot leading to be a measure of skill tho.

well, the BR in halo 2 is close to a sniper rifle but in halo 3 the BR is like a pistol as in it's weak. the halo 2 BR is way better.

Im a Bungie veteran. I have and always will serve them well.

Halo 2 BR had a better spread and auto aim then the halo 3 BR. I take the H2 BR over the H3 BR any day.

If the halo 3 BR wasnt nerfed then I dont know what was....the gun even sounds nerfed. With issues like lag etc a hit scan burst weapon is a neccessity. The halo 2 weapon still wasnt incredibly accurate at long range, and it took 4 HEAD SHOTS to kill every time. Halo 3's BR actually doesnt take more skill to use. If anything it takes less. I do like not having the button glitches though. Halo 3's br needs 110% damage before it even starts to feel as good as the halo 2 BR did....and halo 2's gameplay was so much more fast paced and intense. Part of this is that halo 2 has about 112% of the speed of halo 3. The whole entire game with the exception of a few weapons (human sniper, carbine, needler) was nerfed down. Look at the AR, look at the plasma pistol, look at the regular pistol. All Nerfed. Well guess what. Nerf guns suck.
