Glad that Halo 3 garbage is dead, thanks to Reach.
Unfreakenbelievable!!

Some of you guys have been severely misinformed about balance in a shooter, so I'll keep this brief.

The reason why people label the BR as being overpowered is because of range and a headshot bonus. That does not in any way make it unbalanced. It's just that you guys see this plethora of close-ranged weapons being slapped in the face by the weapon, so it is only natural to make some biased assumption toward it. Maybe if some of you would understand that the close-ranged weapons are only useful within a very limited range and also lack headshot capabilities, you would realize that the BR is just filling that range where close-ranged weapons can't be touched.

Both the Carbine and M6G have similar design to the BR, and are just as effective against close-ranged weapons; the only difference being Sniper defense.

As it is right now, the BR has been nerfed to its limits. Any more nerfing to it and Halo will be completely destroyed for many. Unless another weapon took its place, which then you guys would still be complaining that you can't kill people with all these close-ranged weapons.

I am absolutely sick of people complaining about the BR.....I want you to go get a 45 and then play in that play list....EVERY ONE USES BR...WHY????........because it requires skill....u have to be fast with ur fingers, an accurate shot, learn to strafe, learn grenade placement, good at close and distance, its an awesome weapon, AR is for noobs who squize right trigger and run at you until they beatdown lunge

Sounds too much like CoD to me. To balance the BR maybe make it a 5-shot rather than a 4-shot.

i heard... that its shishkas skull... bungie x-rayed his head and put that in as the oddball, they did so that they can put shishka in every oddball match to keep an eye on us to make sure we dont cheat remember this next time you go into oddball... shishkas watching...


PURE WIN!

In all honesty i dont think the BR existed back in the days reach fell to the covenant if im correct that blows a BIG hole in your theory and imo that idea (please dont take offence to this) one of the worst ideas i have ever heard for the halo franchise no offence, but it just wouldent work with halo this is not halo of duty where you get awarded things its halo reach

sereously, the Battle Rifle just killed Halo 3. You cant have an Assult Rifle that cant hit the broad side of a halycon class cruser, from right out side it, and a Battle Rifle that can hit anything from pluto to the sun. you need to have an Assult rifle that can hit almost anything within 20 meters and a pistol that, in the right hands, can hit up to 20 meters with any accuracy, unskilled: 10-15 meters max.
