I cant' aim, and I need a weapon that can kill in 6 bullet + melee with a crazy bullet magnetism and a reticle as big as half of my hand. I can't outBR someone and I get my ass handed to me on H3.


fixed.


You sir, are fail. It's this bullspit (Peachtree TV movies) that makes everyone hate people like you because it's supposedly the best weapon in the game. It really isn't. I out-BR people with Magnums. Shotgun vs BR = Shotgun, AR vs BR = AR, Plasma Rifle vs BR = Plasma Rifle. The BR is really horrible. So stop blaspheming this "BR IS DA BESTEST WEPPIN EVAR" crap and stick to your MLG and leave us normal players alone. We don't like your kind so...in the words of Gollum: "Leave now, and never come back!"

the reason people this make the falsehood of thinking shotgun beats BR 'cuz I beat em like, five times' is stupid.

Besides, you weren't playing against pros. Most likely it's:
A: You camped with the shotgun.
B: You beat down a victim's shield, getting the headshot(Try beat the guy by just firing, nearly impossible, eh?)
C: You did what every AR user does: Ten bullet + Beatdown.

I have to admit, though, MLG has gone -blam!- ever since kids started using elites so they get owned.

sig goes where?

I said about, I dont think you comprehend what this word means, the only reason the mauler kills people faster is due to the previously mentioned, difference in the 2's rate of fire, without this, they would be pretty much equal - also, you can headshot players with any weapon (excluding melee weapons) the very definition of a headshot is to shoot someone in the head, this may not be a very wise choice, but however you could still do it
I don't think you comprehend what I'm saying at all. The mauler is a shotgun, it fires many projectiles at once in a cone, inflicting massive damage at close range, and little to none at mid-far range. Not all wepaon in the Halo games register headshots and bonus damage, the Pistol does, the Mauler does not, that is what I was meaning.

By your definition, the Mauler, Pistol, Brute Shot, Fuel Rod, Sniper, and Beam Rifle are all the same as they kill in 2-3 shots. which of course is completely wrong, they have similar damage sure, but are still completely different weapons (unless your comparing sniper to beam rifle)

Wow, you pull out The Lord of the Rings in a useless Halo argument. You = uber nerd.
And if you can actually beat guys who use the br w/ the plasma rifle then they must be straight garbage or you're prob just full of -blam!-. Yeah, thats prob it

  • 08.11.2009 8:12 AM PDT

Just as every cop is a criminal,
And all the sinners saints,
As heads is tails, just call me lucifer
'Cause I'm in need of some restraint.

Bow chicka honk honk.

No BR in a Halo game that only has you fighting covenant AI's? What's not to love? It's not like, at any point in the campaign*, ANYONE has ever looked down at their gun and said "I NEED a BR." Because you never NEED a BR against the Covenant. Online is a bit of a different story, but if Bungie ever decides to yank the BR for good, I'm only going to complain about too much SWAT magnums and ShWATguns. That's it. I admit it's a good gun, but we've got plenty more where it came from.

*Mythic/SLASO excluded

  • 08.11.2009 8:13 AM PDT

wow you people that complain about the br probably fail with it

  • 08.11.2009 8:16 AM PDT

We're past words. It's time to let Smith and Wesson do the talkin'

Either way. Anyone who does or does not buy this game, or any other, solely because there is or is not a BR, is a moron.

  • 08.11.2009 8:46 AM PDT

BAM said the lady

they never said that there was no battle rifle...

  • 08.11.2009 9:20 AM PDT

I'ma beam them up.

Cancelled my pre-order a few weeks ago. MW2 is still on pre-order though. The $60 that I would've wasted on ODST will now be put to good use by paying for another 4 months of WoW. That means, another 4 months playing a game that's better than -blam!-lo!

  • 08.11.2009 9:35 AM PDT

People bought Halo: CE and no one complained that there wasn't a BR.

It makes me very, very sad how many of you thought he was serious. Lrn2sarcsm.

they never said that there was no battle rifle...

You sir, and a f**king idiot.

Any-who, thank GOD no BR. F**king hate the thing. And always loved the SMG and pistol. If I can help it I won't change weapons through the whole game. Plus it'll keep all the 8 year old mlg f*gs out of my shiny new game that t-bag me every time they manage get a kill in. The only thing that gives me any condolence is that I've been laid in the last few days and they won't touch a boob until they're 35.

F**k you BR f*gs.

Ever since Halo 2 the BR has become a very important part of the Halo universe, but only because some noobs in the first Halo decided to band together against the pistol because "OH NOOZZ IT OVRPWRD!!!" Practically half the reason I am buying this is because there is no BR and frankly I hope theres no BR in Reach either I would like to go back to the way Halo was meant to be. Ar and pistol.

Halo CE Pistol > Halo Battle Rifle

If any of you guys play Halo Custom Edition a map called "Snow Grove" has the BR, the scoped pistol, AR and the assault carbine (MA5K?). Its pretty balanced, each one is suited for every situation.


I thought the CE in "Halo CE" was "Combat Evolved" ? am i right about that?

The M6D, by and large, was overpowered. Against most Covenant, it was fairly balanced, taking up to 8 rounds to kill a Minor Elite (Major Elites apperently having equivelent shielding to Spartans, but this may only be true for the Mk6-wearing Spartans), however versus Hunters and multiplayer Spartans, it was indeed overpowered. All you needed to stay alive was your Pistol and AR; not much different from today's BR/AR games.

In comparison to the M6G (the current Halo 3 pistol), it should have a slightly weaker hammer (5 M6G rounds to kill currently including a headshot, a re-balanced M6D should take 6 or 7 rounds to kill including heashot), but it'd be worth taking for the scope and the automatic fire mode (semi auto mode also fires faster than the M6G).

well that may be true for you but for me Magnum vs BR= BR Shotgun vs BR= BR AR vs BR=BR and so on...it only applies for the people who prefer the BR

Who ever doesn't buy ODST just because there is no BR is a BR whore and really needs to learn how to use other weapons. Oh, they aren't a true Halo/Bungie fan either.

I am making a topic because of my opinion.


I refute your topic as I'm an idiot who spams people with BR bullets and believes he is pro because he can land an easy headshot using the most ridiculously accurate and overpowered weapons in the game..

Your title and the body of your post conflict slightly. It is a good way to make sure people read your post though.

Why would someone not buy it just because the BR isn't there. That would be ridiculous.

EDIT- And the BR did exist during Halo: CE. It goes at least back to when Reach fell and possibly back when Harvest was attacked.


Yep Johnson, Byrne, Jenkins and few others used Protype Br's in the 1st battle of Harvest

Its urban fighting, so they would probably want something that is good in close quarters (AR, or the SMG). Now, my matchmaking side is screaming that a silenced BR would be freaking sweet, but I'm content with the Auto-mag. I mean, I would expect someone in the game's levels to have atleast one BR, but what-evs. There's always carbines.
