No, this is not reasonable. The BR is not the problem. If anything, the assault rifle/melee combo is a worse problem.
The BR in Halo 3 IS the toned down BR that you speak of. It had pinpoint accuracy in Halo 2 from any range, and its range matched with the sniper rifle. At a distance, the BR in Halo 3 is very frustrating to use, as any good player would realize when they play SWAT. Headshots miss constantly in SWAT and other BR gametypes when at a fair amount of range in Halo 3. The BR is not the problem, its a medium to long range weapon, like how many other games have medium to long range weapons. Your basically arguing against a weapon with a decent amount of accuracy and range. Why?
You argue that short range weapons are useless against the BR. Shouldnt they be? You say that the only way a close range weapon can beat a BR is to camp, and the BR encourages camping. Wait, what? The BR should rightfully be able to beat any short range weapon if caught out in the open. Thats the way any game works. You wouldnt run out into the middle of Bog in COD4 with a shotgun would you? You creep around and get close to people if you wield a shotgun, the same as ANY game, Halo 3 included. You wouldnt run in charging with a short ranged weapon against the guy with a long range weapon in any game. You have to camp or sneak a little to get the guy with long range, its common sense. Or at the very least you must change tactics to beat the guy who has a sniper or a BR. get over it.
In BR gametypes where the BR is the default weapon, there should be no complaints or excuses. You have a BR, they have a BR. Its equal. No matter whether the BR is horribly under or over powered, you are at no disadvantage since you start with one.
If your not good with a BR, quit Halo. The BR is Halo. The BR takes a good amount of skill to use like any weapon that requires precise aiming, such as a sniper rifle. The BR is not the
problem. The BR did not "destroy our beloved Halo", people like you are destroying our beloved Halo. Theres actually a much stranger following than this crap who wish the BR was more like it was in Halo 2.
In Halo 2, scrubs like you were destroyed with no mercy. You had no hope and no future other than custom games. Halo 3 helped you. In order to appeal to the more "casual crowd", Details were changed in Halo 3 to give players who arent amazing at FPS's a fighting chance. Theres nothing wrong with that at all either just for the record. Halo 3 decreased BR range and accuracy, and increased auto-aim, lunge distance, and melee power, to help bad players like who who cant aim and for them to get some easy kills. Add in the AR, which is a default starting weapon, has more power and range than the Halo 2 SMG default starting weapon, which makes it less important to go and fight for power weapons.
Halo 3 gave bad players like you a chance to fight and not look so bad when you lost to the good players. Thats it. And your complaining about this why? Im not complaining. Good players still beat bad players, the only difference from Halo 2 is that bad players have a bit more of a chance now. Leave it alone, the BR is fine. Get used to it. Play Halo like any other game.
I was going to reply to this thread and prove that what you posted was idiotic. No, I am not saying you are an idiot, just that this one thread is idiotic. However, upon reading this post ^^ I decided not to because someone else already has.
