Voilà!In view,a humble vaudevillian veteran,cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate.This visage, no mere veneer of vanity,is a vestige of the vox populi,now vacant, vanished.However,this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation,stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.

It seems like all you do is make threads petitioning the nerfing/removal of the BR. You're "weapon sets" all feature guns that do not promote longer range gameplay, which in turn makes the game slower and campier. Unless you like getting spawn killed by snipers on maps like Valhalla and The Pit, Halo 3 needs a mid range weapon that can effectively counter any situation off spawn. I shouldn't have to die again because someone else has grabbed decent weapons from around the map. Seriously, wake up. Maybe if you make some more anti-br threads someone will start caring...
what this thread is about is how effective the Br is, right now the BR is easily the most used most effective weapon in the game, the BR will operate effectivly at any range, most weapons only operate at their design range unless the user is skilled enough to adapt the weapon to combat outside it design range, like the sniper it works well at long range, and is pretty good at mid range depeding on the targets weapons, but to use the sniper at close range the user must have steady consistent aim to land the shots needed within a small time frame, other close range weapons like the shotgun can only be used at close range seeing how the buckshots will dissapear at any greater range, the Brute shot has slower moving projectiles and in order to use it at mid range you must lead your shots consinderably and they are easily dodged still then. those weapons are balanced and can only be used at their design range unless the user has certain skill and abilities and can adapt their weapon to the combat range other weapons are design for
the BR however can easily be used at any range, it has access to grenades and meelee at close range which allow the BR to get a 1 shot kill, and the radar will allow the BR user to "see" anyone at close range before most close range weapons can even become effective. at mid range the burst crutches your accuracy to being near perfect, don't believe me, get within 25m of someone and place your reditcule slightly off the head, your shots will register, they may not be as damaging, but you can get a good 5-6 shot on them. the scope increase the BR range from 45m to about 65m and the burst increases the chances of shots register and it is harder to dodge 3 projectiles at once that it is to dodge a single projectile. in short te BR can be used at any range with little change in how you use the BR
most of these flaws do not lie with the BR though, they lie within the system itself, most weapons become ineffective at mid range due to increasing inaccuracy or decreasing damage
the meelee system also seems broken and the BR has the ability to effectivly use te broken meelee system if meelee did less shield damage like the Halo CE meelee system the BR couldn't utilize the beatdown headshot kills and would force the BR user to shoot more before the meelee and would open up the time needed for other weapons to do considerable damage before their meelee attack.
