Subject: Battle Rifle Solution

Always check if theres bog roll first

Surely just return the BR and Melee to like they were in halo 2 minus the glitches.
I never heard anyone complain about either of them and then they were changed in H3 only to result in issues like this that never used to exist.
If it ain't broke don't fix it!

The Battle Rifle does NOT need to be weakened. Halo CE has the best multiplayer and the pistol is way more powerful than the H3 BR.


In halo ce the pistol became a semi automatic weapon with a slow fire rate compared to the br at br range. So if you sir are implying that the the br needs to be toned down you are sorely mistaken.


This statement is completely wrong. But Halo CE's pistol had much more power and was still balanced because just about every weapon was more powerful. If you copy/pasted it into Halo 2 or 3, it would destroy either game. The only weapons with potentially more power would be rockets, sniper and at point blank maybe shotgun.

The BR is not overpowered.... it took 3 pistol bullets to kill someone in ce. And the kids that was talking about AR bursts. You are funny

Viva La Revolution!
Social Infection ftw

Make 2 variants of the AR too!

The Halo 3 one and the Halo combat evolved one with 60 rounds.

The BR is vastley overpowered. I am not saying I don't use it, I have over 20,000 kills with it on H3, but it is. Some of you say it is well rounded....but there isn't another weapon in the game that can kill from all three ranges. Yes, it takes skill to kill at long range but it can be done. I think that it should be altered because I think the game needs a mid range rifle, not a pistol..., there should also be more mid range weapons in Reach.

Slow the rate of fire, and full auto with more recoil. Think of AR to M14 difference much more range, punch, trade offs are rate of fire and recoil effect accuracy

how about an AR with automatic and and semi-automatic settings. While set to automatic it fires similar to the current AR with a low-mid range accuracy and recoil, then on semi auto it does either single shots or burst where accuracy decreases the more you fire it (because of increasing recoil) For example, you take one shot in semi auto mode and it is dead on where you aimed, an immediate second shot would degrade the accuracy slightly, a third even more and so on until it pretty much equals spray. Automatic mode would work the same way but would be based on continuous fire. Using a manual burst (player controlled automatic) would give the best accuracy/ power ratio and would require actual skill to do.

I am not asking for the Halo CE pistol!
BR essentialy = Halo CE pistol.
I want neither.

a spartan has 100 shield points, and 75 health points, for a total of 175.
So 2 punches would be 140?

That doesn't make any sense if you die from two hits. What have I missed here? Plus, if you have 100 shield points, why do they deplete from one hit if a melee attack is 70?
