Subject: Should There Be a Full Automatic Battle Rifle?

Posted by: CookieMan
A Battle Rifle is a combat rifle with out an automatic fire setting, such as an M1 Garand, or a bolt-action weapon.
You are thinking of something such as an assault rifle.

The Battle Rifle has the ability to do automatic fire. I think it was in one of the Halo short movies before Halo 3 came out. Anyways, it does have the auto fire ability, 3 burst as seen in game, and single shot as seen in game.

No, there should not be an automatic BR. Think about how fast it downs guys, and it would take away the skill needed to use the BR.

But obviously full auto would have a very high amount of Recoil/Kickback. Think like Counterstrike the first 3 shots would be like a normal burst after that they would be all over the place.

exactly, it'l be like, if you have the BR you win

  • 09.14.2009 4:00 PM PDT

Since the BR is Overpowered let's make it more powerful! Great Idea!

I don't see you doing anything to help our country.
Except sitting at home, naked, eating twinkies, rubbing your hands together going "Heh. Target Destroyed. Mission Accomplished." Oh wait. that's not helping.

no, because if battle rifle goes fully automatic it's just going to be another assault rifle with a scope and long range. For a single shot i think that's pretty reasonable.
But then noobs with modded controllers would 68 shot you before you even pull the trigger.

  • 09.14.2009 4:20 PM PDT

so u want a more powerful, longer ranged and more accurate version of an already overpowered assault rifle?

just doesnt seem attractive to me to have 2 br's

  • 09.14.2009 5:30 PM PDT

maybe but it would have to be a lot weaker and i guess since back then halo reach was a prototype????? maybe wouldn't suggest it though.

  • 09.14.2009 5:40 PM PDT

no i think would be a kinda weird, but thats just me

Ok, number one you are the idiot. Number two, the whole point here is to add variety. Im tired of the BR, and if it were able to switch between modes it would be "3 weapons in 1".

  • 09.14.2009 8:07 PM PDT

Did I say that?

If 2 players of similar skill face each other, one with the AR and one with the BR, the one with the BR will win 9 out of 10 times. The 1 time that the AR will win is if the guy with the AR is able to get a melee in.

Is that right? For one weapon to make every other weapon redundant?

Posted by: The Pope16
Just because you have the BR, doesn't make strafing more skillful. I can strafe while using any other weapon. I just don't need to because the BR basically guarantees a win against any other weapon.

And if you read this, you will see that going for the head will benefit every weapon.


Are you seriously saying that the BR can beat any weapon in Halo 3 at any range, on any map, against any player in the world?

Add variety? It will KILL VARIETY. More than it already does. All you need in Halo is a BR, and enough sense to know how to shoot at a head.

The BR already makes most weapons redundant, adding in a select fire feature would make every weapon pointless. Might as well just take out vehicles, and every weapon besides the sniper and the BR and call it your game.

I think an assult rifle would be a good idea.

We already have one, it's called the "Assault Rifle".

  • 09.14.2009 8:37 PM PDT

You don't understand the point of this. It would make the game more canon, for all of you whiners. They could do something like this:
Full-Auto BR: 60 rounds, less powerful than Assault Rifle, less accurate
Assault Rifle: 32 rounds, much more powerful than FABR, much more accurate
3-shot BR: Standard, 36 round, BR. Halo 3s BR
Carbine: Standard, 18 round, Halo 3 Carbine, but much more powerful/accurate than Single Shot BR. Up to par with 3-shot BR
Single Shot BR: 16 round, single shot. Kills unshielded enemies if headshotted, weaker than Carbine, but with more range
Now, you may say "But now we can just get rid of all teh gunnorz and only have teh BR!"
Well, here is a solution:
You could have this gun for Campaign only. Then when you come across an AR or Carbine, you can take one of those, or keep your versatile weapon.
You could have a playlist SPECIFICALLY set up with just the 3 function BR. That way, you would never have to use it, unless you liked that playlist.
Every other playlist with the Battle Rifle would have only ONE of the three firing modes, specifically the 3-burst.
And there you go.

OMG! Someone who is actually sane and is not trolling or flaming.

Some of the good reasons and more to change the BR.

No, that would ruin the BR.

AVG

-blam!- no! that would be too cheap. the br is made like that for a reason, if it was a nonstop spray of accurate bullets, the guy youd be shooting would be dead in a second. It just wouldn't work
