93% of statistics are lies. Formerly Xfire Grunt. Unfortunately, you can't change the WLID for your BNET account, so I had to create an alternate account. My other WLID was spam city (and it was my e-mail account too).
I see a lot of complaints about the BR. This has nothing to do with the BR being over powered. The problem is that the Halo 3 BR is the only "Assault Rifle" in the game. What do I mean by Assault Rifle: Well a gun that works decently well at all distances. Basically like an M16 or a G36c, any gun that works best at medium range.
Well in a game like Halo 3 where you can't pick your gun based on the map, of course a multi-purpose gun is going to be used.
The biggest problem with Halo 3 is there are 10 Dual Wield able guns that are only useful in Campaign. They are pretty useless for multi-player.
This way you can still have the M16, cough BR (to please Hardcore fans), and add some vareity to game play.
Good examples of "useful" weapons would be the scoped, headshot capable SMG from ODST and the Auto-Mag from ODST. If these weapons are half as useful as what Bungie says they are, then they are probably 10* more useful then the Plasma Rifle in multi-player.
So basically if we just have more guns like this, and more multi-purpose guns I think that would help variety for less hardcore fans, and hardcore players can keep their multi-purpose headshot capable BR, or even get something they want, a 4 shot, single shot weapon, with the ROF of the BR, with no spread.
BR =/ overpowerd. It just = only gun of its class. Every other class of gun in Halo 3 has 5+ weapons, the Assault Rifle class has 2 guns. Considering that 50%+ of military soldiers are equipped with an AR class, it makes military sense for people to be getting kills with the Battle Rifle.... so unless there variety needs more "AR" class weapons.
