Lol I like how everyone complains about how they get 4 shotted
you have a low chance of getting 4 shotted because of halo 3s bullet regristration
Its not only bullet registration that prevents four shots from being achieved. Its the actual skill level of the players involved in a BR battle.
How often are people here in close enough range that they will even be able to achieve a four shot? Its hard as -blam!- to kill a moving opponent from the top of one base to another in four shots on top of snowbound, and that's half the distance across one of the smallest maps in the game.
Lets not forget that many BR kills happen because you are assisting teammates.
Even if you factor out team BRing, and you are in range where it is a good possibility you still have other things to worry about. Your opponents strafe can easily through you off in a BR battle. Not to mention if an opponent takes cover its going to take more shots to kill them. If your opponent turns tail and you can't seem to hit the back of his head because he is looking at the ground its going to take more shots to kill him.
I am far better than the average Halo player, or the average poster on these forums. All of those things considered, it probably takes me about 6 shots on average to kill an enemy with a BR. I know getting a 4 shot in default MM doesn't happen more than a few times per game for me for me. That's only the battles where I'm in a 1v1 position and close enough to even expect a 4SK, most of the times I'm not in that situation and only end up weakening that opponent or taking extra shots because of situation.
There is no way the average player can complain about the BR being some 4 shotting machine when I have above average players (35-45) IRL who I've seen play Halo in person and they are all exponentially worse with the battle rifle than me. If I had to guess, it probably takes the average Halo player 8 shots to kill someone with the battle rifle (and that's being nice) with all things considered.
The BR isn't overpowered. People over exaggerate its power and their ability to utilize it.

that's true, but I've noticed in ODST, players are using a range of weapons now that the BR's gone. I think this should happen in MM since other weapons were used, which doesn't really happen in halo 3 MM. The BR should be taken out completely, I don't care if it was in first strike, it wasn't in halo 1 and everything was great that way. Maybe the AR should have a scope, or bring in the silenced SMG and pistol from ODST, see how that works out.
Either way, no BR. Not in campaign, not in multiplayer, not in the entire game.
The reason players use a variety of weapons in ODST is because there is no versatile weapon. Well, there is the carbine, but I most certainly didn't find enough of them lying around to even consider it versatile because I couldn't use it enough. You have to use different weapons because of all the different situations your in. Halo has gotten increasingly weapon role dependent with each new game in the series. ODST is really no different, except they eliminated the one readily available versatile weapon. If you use a weapon that's not good for the situation then you die, your forced to use other weapons by default.

oh you can be sure that i have, the BR in halo 2 was even worse. Hit Scan weapons always are. Halo CE pistol dominated. But yes in all 3 games there has been that one weapon that clearly dominates all :/
No, there has always been one weapon that has always been the most versatile. There will always be that weapon unless Halo: Reach turns out to be a big game of only Team Snipers. Perhaps its not that the weapon dominates, but its your inability to judge when to use other weapons in the correct situation to defeat the battle rifle. I know I have no trouble beating the BR when I fight a BR wielder and I'm using a different weapon, because I always make sure I have the situational advantage which is what success in this game is centered around. You can't blame bad gameplay on poor player tactics.

i know what you mean, but MLG will always be around. If they do take the BR out of course people are going to whine and -blam!- about it, especially the MLG guys. Look at what happened in halo 2. they ended up using a HIT SCAN weapon...i mean come on give me a break! and when bungie changed how that hit scan weapon worked for halo 3 they -blam!-ed about it. but here we are today and they are still playing halo 3. the MLG guys can just stay playing halo 3 because of no BR in halo reach thats fine by me. id rather have to use strategy to win my encounters then accuracy anyway because thats more fun and intense. thats why i like encounters in GOW2 :)
That's funny, Halo CE didn't have the battle rifle and MLG players didn't whine. In fact its a consensus on the MLG forums that Halo CE is the best game in the series and most players over there hate the battle rifle, at least in its current form. I'm pretty sure the Halo CE pistol was hitscan and that gun worked fine with that game. Not to mention many guns in Halo CE and Halo 2 were hit scan weapons.

The BR does NOT take "skill" to aim, more so then any other weapon. 3 shot ANYWHERE on the body, and then you can strafe the cross hair over the head, and get a kill with any one of the three bullets. Not to mention, it fires so fast that missing two or three of you're shots won't spell disaster for you.
I'm going to take a quote from you here.
Stop it.
Have you never missed a 4 shot ever? For some reason I doubt it. Don't say it takes no skill when there are obviously people who are better at aiming it than you. Protip: Its because they have better aim (i.e. skill) than you do. In fact, I would be surprised if you yourself got more than one or two four shots per game in an average BR start gametype.
Maybe your used to playing people who run in straight lines, but I can recognize that no one is near reaching the full potential with the battle rifle. It is not an easy weapon to use. There are weapons in this game that do require more aiming skill, and some that require less.
