The battle rifle is great, it just needs more variety in mid range weapons to compete with it.

  • 08.19.2009 12:51 PM PDT

Well i agree BR should be tweaked but im not saying just throw it away its a perfect concept gun

BAM!!!!! you just got sniped!

if they do have it, they should take out the tri-shot and make it automatic and a little bit more powerfull than the AR. cause in that halo short film the BR is automatic

  • 08.19.2009 12:56 PM PDT

I like the br but it is way overpowered. If it is in reach they should change it so it isn't as much of a game breaker.

  • 08.19.2009 12:57 PM PDT

The BR is the sole basis of rank in Halo, the removal of it should make things interesting.

  • 08.19.2009 12:58 PM PDT

In the days of old, there were legends of a land long lost to time. This land was known as Ranna'Mor. Ranna'Mor was said to contain in its borders 7 warriors. These warriors had once unleashed a veritable hell upon the ancient world, until they were locked away. My name is Toriad, and I am one of those warriors. Our return is approaching. Do not run away, do not cower in fear; take solace in your final days, for that is all we can do. -Legend of Ranna'Mor

I really don't mind the BR, and I think the removal of a weapon that has become so familiar with Halo (such as the removal of the original pistol or the AR in Halo 2) would take away from the series.

I'm actually pretty bad with the BR and resort to the AR or pistol quite often, but I wouldn't want it removed.

Yep....

Halo would be ok without the Br.

It needs to be altered to a semi auto weapon:

30 round clip
12 body shots to kill
8 head shots to kill

Smaller reticule so it is harder to use at close range.

  • 08.19.2009 2:12 PM PDT

Where is the "The BR is a wee bit too versatile and easy to adapt to other combat ranges so it needs tweaking".

Just because a weapon is overpowered doesn't mean that it should be taken out.

BR is nearly a Game Breaker because it's just so damn powerful and can be used in nearly any situation. Period.

i said overpowerd because people get freakin headshot streaks with it but should be kept in campain only

  • 08.19.2009 2:22 PM PDT

Just enjoy the damn game!
Who cares about BR vs AR

Name another game with a weapon that has a much skill involved as the BR. 4 Headshots to kill, you need constant good aim, and one wrong move while using it could spell death. Its not spray and pray, or just pull the R trigger and the enemy drops, as is the Shotgun. It demands the most concentration from any weapon. You have to think about aiming AND dodging at the same time, and only when you have mastered both those skills will you learn to love the BR.
If you always get beaten in BR battles, practise harder.
If you always come across enemies with BR's, beat them to the spawns by having better tactics.
If you are taking on a team of BR's work better together as a team to supress the fire long enough to kill them.
The BR is a fantastic weapon, but I agree, it is slightly overpowered and needs a proper rival. And not the CE pistol.

  • 08.19.2009 2:54 PM PDT

tbf with you all, I can't see what all the fuss is about. I mean the people who love the BR just say those who don't enoy the weapon so much can't use it and get destroyed by it. And those who don't love the BR complain it's overpowered and that everbody who uses it think they're great and MLG and stuff. I myself would prefer to see a bit more variety in matchmaking than everybody just BRing each other because I like the other weapons too, but I also appreciate the BR is a good weapon and can be fun to use. I find SWAT fun and challenging. so wtf. just get off each others throats.

Yes, well said... what i think they should do is leave BR how it is but turn pretty much every other gun up a bit since we are going to be having lower shields with mark 4,5

Thank god for that!
I thought I was gonna get Mega Flamed. Turning every weapon up in damage would work, as surely the shields were weaker back in 2552?

No, the BR is just fine the way it is and it should stay that way.

need to have a good wepon to match The Legendary BRs

  • 08.19.2009 3:07 PM PDT

Yes, really

its only over powered on the off occasion you spawn with a guy with a br looking straight at you

and to whoever said you need 4 head shots to kill, no, you need 3 shots anywhere and a headshot to kill. try it out. shoot a guy 3 times in the foot and then once in the head.
