Subject: The New "Old" Battle Rifle

The 2 best Visa Credit Card jokes.
Halo 2- 55$
Xbox 360- 400$
Xbox Live- 45$

No Scoping a kid in the face who had the sword and hearing his squeeky voice go WHAT THE----as his voice gets cut out.

With a few BR threads popping up here and there. I was wondering, how would everybody liked it if the Battle Rifle was like how it was first going to be and be quick firing-single shot. rather than slower burst fire?

Which would be the best?
Burst fire, Single shot, Full Auto

Probably should have made a poll. But I want single shot.

Poll would have been better, but i decided not too.

Um... I like Halo? I don't really know what to say. I'm a student at the moment, I hope to become a criminal profiler, and I enjoy pretty much everything as long as it's good.

If it's a litle stronger bullet for bullet than the current AR it just might work as a single shot weapon.

  • 09.13.2009 9:17 PM PDT

I really wouldn't have minded a single shot BR like in the old e3 2003 demo, depending on how strong each shot would be of course.

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 would like no BR the best.

But since the pistol I want is the H2 one with a scope,

BR:
24 rounds per magazine
3x scope
3 round burst fire

the first battle rifle was single shot while scoped only.

I think Bungie should put as much options as possible to please every single crowd.

An option to control the BR spread, an option to control how powerful each weapon is, an option to control how many frames/ms it takes to connect a bullet, etc.

That would just prompt people to make ridiculously overpowered weapons.

How to spell "space"?

S-P-ACE! SPACE!

Then it would be like the Covenant Carbine. :P

I'm 23, I have a house, dog, girlfriend, job and I have no interest in any fanboyism so if you're thinking about sending me a childish PM, don't be surprised when I don't call back.

Exactly, only nobody sees that compare being a problem? People seriously need to think about variety in a game.

As much as I would love to just fire off a clip of a full-auto BR, people would just complain that it had been nerfed, because lets be honest, if it was full auto with the strength it has now, it would be ridiculous =)

I would be quite cool to have it single shot, but with the recoil of the M14 from CoD 4.

If anything it will be stronger because of the fact that Spartans 20 years before halo 1 were weaker than they are in halo 1-3.

Quick, fully-automatic single shot like the Halo 1 Pistol, but instead of a 3SK it would be a 5SK.

Reach happens 20 DAYS before Halo 1.

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

Burst. We already have the full auto AR, and the single shot Carbine. Burst is really the only missing link between those two, and that is what the BR fills.
