I must say, EAKLE, you put up a good thread in support of the Popcorn shooter and other such weapons. But you forgot to tell me, what about realism? Of course halo is 500 years in the future, and all that hoo ha.
In CoD 5, the MP40 was a very liked gun because in burst fire it could be long range and it was a 2 bullet kill rapid fire, large clip gun. People hated the effectiveness of it, however in 1945 this was easily the most effective gun to have in combat, so why would they not make it so in the game?
For halo CE, the Pistol was the BR, i don't see how you don't get that but that is a fact and that is how it will always be, a BR with a new skin.
You're favouring the fact that the BR is more Effective than any other gun, when that is not true. An Assault Rifle will sometimes out to the BR holder at close range, the shotgun always will along with the sword. Dual wielding a Plasma pistol/rifle along with an SMG will usually out do a BR from about half the length of foundry. A sniper with any skill will headshot a BR weilder by using cover, poking there head out and quick scoping.
The BR's Main function is mobility, it can be used for any situation and it can be used effectively. Why is that a problem, a sniper at a very long range wont be effected by a BR, and an SMG at close range will shred the BR to pieces, Mid range is the BR's favourite, that is where it almost always wins. Whats the problem?
