I'd have a seizure too if some genetically enhanced freak starting shooting me in the head.

"Hey you! BOB carrying my second pistol, let's go!"

Nice name there.

Obviously this thread was made to combat the Anti-BR thread, which already makes it lame.

Especially since the OP missed the entire point of the other thread. It wasn't an anti BR thread, its a "lets make things more balanced" thread.

and by "balanced" you mean entirely focused on close range combat?

First, thats not what I said. Second, if you read the thread, despite its title, its conclusion isn't "Remove the Battle Rifle", its "We need to even the gap between the BR and the AR, either by nerfing the BR or powering up the AR". I spoke in defense of the forum user who created this thread as he put a lot of thought and effort into his original post, unlike you.

you seem to miss the point that halo has never and will never have a linear weapon progression

there will always be a utilitarian weapon....without it its just not halo

I never said this either.

Do realize, I am teetering on the fense over this "keep things as it is" or "nerf the battle rifle" issue.

On one side, I'm pretty good at close quarter combat, and I easily have the advantage over any foolish players who try to adapt their medium range weapon to close range combat.

On the other hand, there are many players who lack the abillity that I have and get mowed down by the BR and end up using only it because they have been duped into believing its the best gun in the game.

I'm not sure whether or not to take a "Get better at the game and you can beat them" or a "No, this is wrong, at any skill level the AR should have an advantage over the BR at close range and it should be up to the BR user's skill to overcome this advantage, not the AR user's." stance.

Only time will tell what side I will take. I don't think the BR should be removed, but I find it odd how you feel so threatened by the people who do think so despite the fact that you are doing just the same thing.

Regardless, the decision is not in our hands, but Bungies, and they are smart enough to know what to do.

-blam!- off.

AR was there first, and it is the most iconic weapon of Halo imo. The BR can counter any hand held weapon if the person who is using it is decent.

removing the AR would make halo perfect


No it wouldn't.

Get owned.

No they should keep all the guns the same just add new ones, why does every one want less stuff instead of more stuff. they can always make new starter weapons.

Thats it? Not a well thought out and biasless post? Three punctuationless sentences?

Your going to need to do better than that if you want to kill the AR. It will be back.


As much as I completely agree with the OP.

Dude you seriously need to listen to hylebos because you have some great points you should of just backed them up.

Well that middle figure on the banner seems to be holding the AR, so this thread seems pretty redundant. Also, this is another Halo game, a different Halo game. WIth that said, I would expect weapons to be slightly different. Only time will tell how well they will handle. But STiS, if you are going to carry AR bashing into Halo: Reach.......thats sad.

By crowded I assume you mean it and the SMG?

i didnt ignore you...double posting is not allowed

anyways...AR SMG spiker plasma rifle

you could even stretch it to include mauler

4 weapons that more or less do exactly the same thing is a bit much


AR is balanced weapon, does same damage to shields and flesh
SMG does a little bit more to flesh, and a little less to shields
spiker does way more to flesh then it does shields, and also has a higher melee damage (info on melee from official Prima guide to Halo 3)
plasma rifle does way more to shields then it does flesh

there you go

The strongest Rivals are also the strongest allies.

remove as a spawn weapon, yes.
remove from game, no.
return to halo ce ways, yes.

Every weapon in Halo is meant to be useful in their own situations. I'd take an Assault Rifle over a BR if the guy was 5 feet away from me any day.


well the AR and the BR dont fill the same niche

So, because one's superior for another purpose you want it removed. That is apparent. Learn punctuation.

You don't always get what you want. If your going to cry about it then don't even play Halo: Reach. We like it and obviously you don't. You never addressed points of removing. You only said your opinion. You didn't say what the game would be like and what would happen if they did remove it. Nor talked about what could replace it. Another classic sign of a premature idiot trying to whine about anything so he can get attention.

The AR is meant for people who die a lot. Hell, if you use the AR, you're gonna die a lot. Although the AR is very annoying, I'm all for killing the terrible dudes that use it as their primary weapon.

It is meant for people who die a lot? I guess so if whoever is using it doesn't know how to use it, and if thats the case then with every weapon you use you are going to die a lot if you do not know how to use it. If you use the AR it does not mean you are going to die a lot, you just have to know how to use it. Also, how is it annoying?
