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.

Exactly!! its not the br thats the problem, its the other nonpower weapons, why would you ever pick up a spiker, plasma rifle, etc. when you can use a br.
Solution? Remove dual wielding and increase dual wieldable weapon power, is there really any reason NOT to do this?

Bring back the Halo CE pistol. Problem solved.

Oh my Josh1 He's on fire!

why dont we just increace the recoil and keep every thing else the same about the gun. the user needs to re-aim more often yet it still can be a decent weapon with out compleatly killing it or making it less usefull than an assalt rifle.

It is excessively powerful, therefore overused.
I think it's safe to say that the BR will be at minimum, very toned down.

That is the stupidest thing I heard, As osmeone said somewhere in this forum, "The BR is now and item of worhsip" or something like that, and yet, people HATED it when it came out, because it took the place of hte Assault rifle, now, you have to use it, or your are a noob, seriously, make up your minds peeps!

remove it or...

icrease its spread

increase its recoil time

tone down its fire power

make the clips smaller.


increase the recoil time is a fine adjustment or just remove it

well no they wont be items of worship because they have jobs split into to weapons. Smg superior rate of fire close range and the pistol is further range with lower rate of fire but with more kick (damage).

I wouldn't have thought the BR would become a Worship Weapon, but it did, you'd think with the way people were about the BR replacing hte AR, they'd sieze the AR again immiediately. But nope, they just turned the BR into the MUST USE weapon. I find it is best to use all weapons, so you can change strategy rapidly, not just be stuck with a gun that can be beaten froma dstance, or if not ready for someone, up close. It is designed for mid range. So shotgun/sword/hammer and sniper/beam rifle/Spartan laser would work, or even a guass turret.

yes i have found it more fun in MM to use a variety of weapons like the spiker, the halo 3 pistol, the plasma rifle and i usually use the SMG (but thats when im not in a warthog on turret or in a chopper)

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.
sorry.i was mainly trying to make it about the other weapons to.

Good lord the BR is the best thing that happened to halo. The only ones who complain about the Battle Rifle are the ones who get four shotted constantly.The BR brought competitiveness to Halo3. Can you imagine how upset the MLG community will be if they take out the gun in Halo Reach. They would move to Modern Warfare 2 if Bungie pulled that, And that's the last thing Bungie wants to hear on their review.

Ones who complain are the ones who can't use it.

I say for hte peeps who want it, have it only in campaign, I mean, the gun is the wrost gun in the game (not counting the turret on a tank), If you want a weapon you can kill like htat with, grab the pistol from H1, or just get a sniper, or grab a car and run them down. Hell, USE A DIFFERENT GUN FOR ONCE. I mean, using one strategy is kinda stupid, cause as I have sadi, it means if someone changes tactics, you can't change to compensate, next thing you know, you keep getting killed.
