unstead of tuning the BR down why don't they just increase the weapon power of the other guns,i'm up for not having quite so many guys running and hiding(waiting for there shields to recharge) as soon as i get a couple bullets in them!
if the other weapons did more damage then they could just increase the shield recharge rate.and sense it is a whole new game they should do it or already done it.don't get me wrong and think that i want it removed or even degraded,i'd love to have it just the same.but if something has to be done i'd want this!

EDIT:look at it this way.in halo CE,all the guns felt powerful.in halo 3 the (AR) lost ammunition,the (needler) became only single handed,the (Rocketlauncher) lost its ability to lock on and the powerful radious,the (bruteshot) lost its radious damage,not to mention the biggest nerf of all,the HALO:CE HANDGUN,the list go's on. what i'm trying to say is,people (at least me anyways) dont like playing with weapons that arn't even as good as they were in the last game. it makes us feel less deadly :).

EDIT: also something i never really understood about BR/AR complaints is that,the BR is sepposed to be used for medium range and the AR is sepposed to be used for close quarters combat.obviously the BR is going to beat the AR at a range.and the AR beats the BR at close quarters so there shouldn't even be any complaints about those two weapons!

didn't everyone get mad about that pistol so thats why we got a new pistol in halo 2 so why should we bring it back if people will complain about it like the br

  • 09.17.2009 2:14 PM PDT

i want the halo 2 pistol back

and you didnt put an option to vote for "fix the BR" so it works, like it did in halo 2.

Halo 2 e3 br

thats a good idea but with the single shot zoom in it would be impossible to kill, it would take for ever to get twelve shots off.

Do NOT send me Recruitment Letters, doing so will get you blocked faster than you can say "Huh?"

I say we take the ODST approach to things and just cut it.

  • 09.17.2009 2:34 PM PDT

Paul doesn't like it. They should cut it.

agreed

but if they made it more powerfull it would be unbalanced when you were unzoomed usig the three shot bursts.

oh c'mon, there is a HOT TOPIC ABOUT IT ALREADY.
your topic doesn't provide anything at all that the EXISTING ALREADY hot topic does. why did you even make it? :/

and yes, the br will be back for gameplay reason. it's either the br or the M6D and bungie has always been reluctant to using the M6D again.

I don't think the main problem is the Br being too strong (though that might be a prob), but rather the most other weapons aren't strong enough to compete. Most other weapons either have way too short of an effective range, or just plain suck without melee or dual wield.

i loved the ORIGINAL BR the one no one got to use in the halo 2 E3 trailer. it was like one shot like the carbine that way you could use it as a more skilled weapon and not fire a 3 round burst and miss 2 of the 3

Tone it down. 5 shot kills.

As I said before, instead of scrapping a well known Halo weapon, just simply refine it to being restrictly a medium range weapon, and bring back the M6D, preferably, no weapon should be weak, or all purpose.

I say remove it, I may like the gun, but seriously, people have turned that into a MUST USE type gun, or you get flamed, particularly when you keep sniping them from out of its range, so I say just replace it with the pistol, or degrade it to like AR power, or a tad more powerful. Either way, I don't really care lol

Halo 2 e3 br


I love you.

I think that they should keep the BR the same, the only thing that I would change is how when you get hit it doesnt allow you to aim down the scope of any gun you are using. I think this would take away from the effectiveness of the BR and in turn make for a better gaming experience..Let me know what you all think of this idea.

A real test of a man is if he is willing to scrape a sharpened razor up and down his junk just to please a woman.

Get rid of the headshot criticals or tune down the damage per bullet.
