In all sake in purposes if the Noob weapon "AR" is so noobie where it apparently sucks to the BR why is it a noob weapon? Doesnt that mean the BR is the noob weapon? Because it can out class everything and when you get killed by some kid with an AR you call them a noob for using the AR?


Ok I read your whole post but just quoted that part because I don't want to have a massive wall of text.

Here we go - you basically say in your entire post that the BR is overpowered, the AR gets labeled as the noob weapon and you would like the BR toned down.

Firstly, the AR gets labeled as a noob weapon because it takes almost no skill to use. Sure, it takes a lot of bullets to kill with it, but because of the nature of Halo 3 maps, it's extremely common for people to just AR + melee.

On the other hand, the BR requires at least 4 shots (3 anywhere and the last to the head). Now - why is the BR not a noob weapon? Because it is NOT easy to use. It takes skill to successfully win a BR battle.

BR has no minuses? What about the amount of skill necessary to use it effectively?

tl;dr - - - The BR takes skill to use and the AR does not. Therefore the AR is labeled as a noob weapon.

YES YES YES YES YES

FFS, HOW CAN YOU SAY NO??

Its fine if you dont like, but to get rid of it, well you must suck at halo if you dont like the battle rifle

  • 10.10.2009 9:17 AM PDT

yes!!

  • 10.10.2009 9:21 AM PDT

No. It completely dominates the game play, and most of the so called "skill" is mainly "achieved" using that stupid weapon.

How can it be called skill if you only use one weapon?

I think the BR should be removed, so that players will actually have to use skill with the rest of the halo arsenal.

AR vs BR sadly the winner is the BR
That sint true because in really close quarters the AR will always win but medium to long the BR wins. They need to keep the BR no0 matter what. And also they dont need to weaken it.

  • 10.10.2009 11:21 AM PDT

How do you now the BR was taken out of reach?

  • 10.10.2009 11:25 AM PDT

GOD NO! -blam!- BR. Id rather cut my balls off.

MLG does love this weapon. Im sure Bungie doesnt want to alienate them. I mean, they have their own playlist. Bungie can get away with it in ODST because it doesnt affect the multiplayer, but Reach is definately gonna need it.

MLG can shift. I bet if the BR went away, they would just start using Carbines.

Or the pistol.

I can hold my own with the BR, I still want it removed.

Big Team Battle Multiflag/Slayer on Standoff/Valhalla/Sandtrap/Avalanche = Win

MLG's opinion on what weapons Bungie should make for Halo Reach is insignificant, and Halo Reach will still thrive as one of the Xbox 360's top games with or without the MLG community.

u kids fail at life the br isnt going to be in reach because the br came out in halo 2 and reach takes place b4 halo 1 meaning we have a amazing pistol thats way better then the br
The BR has been in halo since Contact Harvest which is 25 years before Reach

Go Rams and Missouri!

Think about playing Halo 3 with ODST's weapon set. You would need 2 weapons in multiplayer too. In campaign, it's nice because you need some weapon variety for different Covies, but in multiplayer it would be frustrating because you'd be shooting your SMG to take down shields and then switching over. The BR is necessary. Perhaps they could instead make a gun with the same power, but have it come in the form of a pistol (like Halo 1, but not that strong or fast-shooting).

Yes, or something that functions along the same lines.

Or you know they could just add 18 more melee dependant sray weapons and get it over with.

Turtles and Kittens make my day!!!! LOLOLOLOLOL

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.”

Yes, if the BR is removed and/or no alternative weapon with a similar function is provided I can't see myself getting in Reach MP, I can't get any fun with running around with my finger jammed on an AR.

I would prefer not, but if they have to I suggest retooling it to make it useful only in one range. The BR as it stands is OP because it can fit many weapon roles. In BR start games, not many other guns are picked up except for the Sniper. If it must remain then I suggest that after the bullets have gotten past its maximum effective range (something like 3/4 of The Pit's length) that massive spread is put on the bullets so it loses it long range effectiveness. You could still use it to harass snipers but you wouldnt be able to kill anything at long range. Also, take the current firing delay and add .5 second to it so that close range it will not be so effective.

tl:dr Make the BR only effective at Mid-Range
