Subject: Definite pistol/br debate solution

No matter how many times I forget about this place, I always get dragged back.

I'm more than okay with that.

If they don't keep the BR then no one will -blam!- play the game.


Bold statement. Care to back that up? MLG will be the only part of the community that's butthurt, and that's a minority.

Well, as to the fact that everyone who has posted in this thread with a linked GT has their top ToD as BR...

The Carbine should be made into something similar to Halo CE Pistol a since it is single shot with a 2x scope. The BR needs to stay 3 round burst because that is unique. We don't need every mid/long range weapon to be single shot.

Make the carbine a 5SK with a headshot, this would be balanced out with the fact that single shot is harder to headshot with.

The BR should be more accurate and a four burst kill but keep the lower rate of fire from Halo 3.

The Bunige needs to make all weapons versatile to compete with midrange weapons.

MLG is a huge part of Halo, and getting rid of the BR would be a stupid move by bungie, whether its in the books or not. It's a huge symbol.

Keep the BR, make it a proto-type and tweak it a bit. Bring back the H1 pistol and tweak it a bit, make it 4 or 5 shot. Carbine is perfect as it is. H1 AR was perfect, bring that back.

MLG is NOT a minority, and it's just getting bigger and bigger, whether you like it or not. Head over to mlgpro.com and see for yourself.

O RLY?

I guess everyone at the ODST forums is buying it for the Multiplayer, because who would play the Singleplayer? It has no BR! That means it sucks! [/Sarcasm]

Doesn't that just point out that it's overpowered?

Why is it overpowered? Why can't it be that other weapons are underpowered?

The game would be entirely broken without a BR-type (midrange headshot) weapon, because everything would be close range except for the snipers and lasers. Whoever got those automatically wins the match, no questions asked.

No. It could mean its overused, however, but that is not a fair accusation. Why?

1. The BR is the only versatile weapon in Halo 3, everything else is severely limited to their own range (most of them close or melee range), so they cannot compete with the BR. The close range weapons need to be able to compete with the BR at midrange provided they are used in the right hands (someome with the skill to repurpose a close range to a midrange weapon); a weapon should not limit a player's ability to kill, their skill should.

2. Team SWAT. 'Nuff said.

3. The BR is the only midrange weapon, for the most part, because you cannot spawn with the Carbine, and its not on most maps. On the maps it is on, its scattered sparsely around. There are 3 primary ranges in Halo 3. Close, Middle, and Long. Close range has a huge variety of (un-unique) weapons, so the kills are spread out among them so non stand out much in the ToDs. The BR, however, is the only midrange weapon, so it is the same as if there were only one close range weapon and everything else was midrange like the BR. We would be calling the close range weapon overused because it would be showing up most on the ToD.
