hahaha
you know damn well that the pistol/BR is much more utilitarian than the other weapons and you also know what i meant so please stop with the side steps
I would agree, the BR is much easier to adapt than the AR as it currently exists in Halo 3, and it takes quite a bit of proficiency with the close range weapons to overcome it. Which is why if any changes need to be made to the sandbox in Halo Reach, it is to make all the weapons equally utilitarian.
Why is it that it should be harder to adapt the AR to medium range than it is to adapt the BR to close range? If anything they should be equally as hard.bcuz the AR is easier to use
in your version of halo all the really easy to use weapons are just as effective as the BR
what would be the point of ever becoming good then?...you could just stay a spray and pray noob forever and do well(even more so than is possible in halo 3)
Well first, if you spray and pray, your going to get slaughtered by someone who carefully aims and burst fires his AR, and secondly, the AR is not a medium range weapon, so the BR would still be used when you enter medium range.
I find it so interesting how people say that its easy to use the AR when they also find it easy to use the BR, yet the AR ends up the "noob" weapon and the BR is a "Pro's" weapon, apparently.
The truth is people overrate themselves on these forums and portray themselves in a way that is useful to their point. In fact, I just think people believe they are a lot more skilled at this game than they actually are.
I don't know about other people here, but after playing the Halo series since 2002 and putting in at least 21,000 games on XBL and LAN throughout all three games, I still probably kill people in 5 shots or more quite a bit more often than I kill people with 4 shots in default matchmaking. Another thing I notice is that even though this is the case, I'm not getting out BR'd a lot when I roll into matchmaking in a party of 4 with 3 other level 50's in team slayer. Sure I lose some individual battles, everyone does, but overall in a 1v1 BR fight at level 50 default team slayer, I can honestly say I win quite a bit more of my individual battles than I lose. This leads me to believe I don't suck at aiming, but most people, especially people on these forums, do not have as good of aim as they say, let alone overall gaming skill.
Lets be truthful here, we can go into one of the billions of different in game scenarios on any map and cover one instance at a time and show where the BR can -blam!- people and when it gets outclassed, but that's not going to prove anything to anyone.
I honestly believe, more often than not, because of the position that a player is firing from, the movement of the target, obstacles in someone's line of sight, distance from the target, XBL itself, and all the other factors that you think about subconsciously while taking while shooting at a target, the average Halo player on their own probably takes on average 6-7 shots with the Battle Rifle to kill an opponent. If someone could prove me wrong that would be great. I would love to see all these four shooting gods who started the series on Halo 3 and think the battle rifle is overpowered prove me wrong.
Lets take this into consideration as well, no one ever will be able to master any weapon of this game to the point where you reach that gun's full potential simply because of the fact that we are human. The battle rifle is one of the guns in this game that is probably more challenging to master because of the challenge of aiming it alone. Everyone misses shots, everyone misses shots every single game almost. I mean, I can not think of a game where I never missed a shot with a BR. I've never even come close to doing that good in one game, let alone being that consistent at Halo.
We should not be looking at a gun like the battle rifles maximum potential because no one will ever reach it. If you nerf the battle rifle, you nerf its max potential, and then you have to factor in how close a player can come to reaching that potential. So for example if you make the battle rifle a 5 or 6 shot weapon, your probably making it on average a 7 or 8 shot weapon.
Guns like the assault rifle or pretty much any close range weapon are much easier to come close to the limit of reaching the maximum potential for destruction for that gun. Will people still miss and -blam!- up with them? Yes. But its so much harder for people to mess up in CQC for two main reason, its a lot easier to aim CQC weapons which is an undeniable fact, and they also have almost 0 potential for being used at ranges much greater than melee range. So the situations you would even consider using that weapon in are already limited, and then you add on the fact that it is simple to use in those situations.
In short, its a lot easier to get a kill or trade kills in the AR's domain (short range obviously) than it is in the battle rifle's domain. I don't view any weapons as "noob" or "pros". They all are used for different situations and require different skill sets to use. Some are undeniably easier to master than others, that's the way it is.
I would rather see the assault rifle and one or two other close quarter combats tweaked in some way to make them slightly more effective at longer ranges (smaller bullet spread, more ammo, whatever floats your boat) than a nerfing of one of the two middle range weapons in this game or getting rid of it. Frankly, I think the assault rifle should be more useful, I drop that -blam!- like its hot almost every game I'm in. There are just so many better close range weapons that can beat it, and if I have a mid-long range weapon as well, there is no point to carrying it with me, ever.
I know I went off on a tangent, but I'm too lazy to go back and edit or spell check, so I hope at least something in that wall is relevant to this conversation.
