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.


sorry for double post, but were' not flaming (at least im not)
This is just a stupid thread, the br is fine the way it is, if we changed it it would suck,

oh hey i actually read that long long post, i like the 3 different function for the BR, but i stil wouldnt want it to be changed.

No. Just no.

how can you people say no? it would be sick if the br was fully auto. just loose the scope and make more ammo.. the switch between auto and burst is also a good idea

You are contradicting yourself. You say you like it, but wont change it. What does that mean?

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.”

I want a FUN game, not a SICK game about one weapon dominating the field.

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.


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

Because the BR is a skill weapon. BR easily loses to SMG or AR if he cant 4 shot. How many times have you been killed by a rushing AR because you couldn't finish him with the headshot.

1- shot!!

Kinda like an WW2 rifle from Cod

*ping,ping,ping,ping,ping,ping,CLING!* clip out...
Why I hate people who get all of their gun knowledge from Call of Duty.

  • 09.16.2009 1:21 PM PDT

No. I love the BR but for full auto I keep the AR. But maybe being able to toggle to Single shot or a more rounds burst.

I like how the BR looked in the 2007 Halo 2 E3 Gameplay Trailer. Then I liked it even better when it was 3-burst. I want to see that again.

Where do you get your gun knowledge?

You have to remeber that the average Halo 3 Player is 18. We dont all have access to firearms.

Still the BR is a Battle/Combat Rifle as of right now. Bungie could make it into a Single Shot and/or Full Auto deal.
