I think the guns should be like this.

Look, if you guys actually click on the link:

I know it is a long thread, but I put a lot of time and thought into it, and the least you could do is take 5 minutes to read the whole thing, and maybe give me some feed back.

No, that would ruin the BR even more than it already is.


Fixed.

I think it would be awesome if it was just single shot semi-auto. Like the Halo 2 pistol, only good.

Then you would love the thread I linked.

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

Sounds like the AR to me.

Of course the damage would have to be reduced, and the spread increased. But spread would stay the same for Burst and be 80 - 100% accurate for Single Shot Mode.

Perhaps damage would stay the same, and Fire rate would stay the same as well, 2 Bullets per second.

I'm sorry shamikh, but that is probably the worst idea ever, lol. I don't mean this in a bad way, but it would really ruin the BR and MM of the halo series. Maybe a full auto BR in campaign, but no way in MM.

I think it would be a good thing that the BR changed fire modes, single shot for medium-semi long range and 3 shot burst for CQB.

In the Halo Landfall Videom (2:40) there is actually an ODST soldier wielding such a weapon

Beware the smiley face! =D

No because it would either overpower it or make it too inaccurate.

...Does anyone really read these?

only in campaign though. Multiplayer should be single shot. But with the same power as two of the three rounds in a burst currently in the H3 BR.

  • 09.13.2009 3:45 AM PDT

I think the reason why a BR should not have those 3 options is because you wouldn't need to pick up any other weapon. You could just use the BR for long range, mid-range and in close combat. (I know people already do, but it would make the BR even more effective).

The reason why it is not included is to get you to pick up and use other weapons.

"Stop calling out and kill the fxcking guy!"

wouldn't making automatic fire make the BR to overpowered and require no skill at all?
although that would be pretty cool...

Full auto recoil would be heavily increased, something like the SMG.

No we dont, the AR doesn't have the kinetic energy per round to quickly deplete sheilds. The AR is most effective in a Spray & Beatdown technique. Furthermore each bullet acts as a tracer revealing the shooters position. I am not trying to create the ULTIMATE gun, just make a good one great.
