Subject: How to fix the BR problem

How to spell "space"?

S-P-ACE! SPACE!

If the BR is back, it needs a clip half the current size, a slower rate of fire, or no aim assist at all.

A slower rate of fire but by 1 second or lower

  • 09.29.2009 7:58 PM PDT

Cut it.
make people use plasma weapons make human weapons do nothing to shields.

How about splitting it into two weapons, like in ODST (SMG for the shields and the Pistol for the headshot, for example). It would take up both of you're weapon slots, and you would have to search for two types of ammo instead of one. This would balance it out very well.

If they do make a single shot BR it should be like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoqGLS1U6GQ

No, like this

I hate the BR, the pistol was MUCH better.

What Bungie did is ODST was very good. A pistol good for headshots, but poor for anything else. The SMG is good for unshielded enemies, and decent for shielded ones.

The split function is better than having the BR.

And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.

Let's make everything completely inefficient at killing. That would require everyone to use spray and pray tactics, and ultimately ruin everything that made Halo better than COD! YAAAY

considering the br is one of the only things besides the sniper that determines any skill in this game, i doubt they will get rid of it. odst is going to hurt because of it being taken away. the AR is -blam!- and turns halo into a crappy prey and spray game. there is nothing wrong with the BR. most people suck at it because you need to need skill to have great control with it. good players have an immediate edge with the BR. has perfect clip, range, fire rate ect. halo 3s BR is the best feature to halo games. the odst smg is a brainless piece of -blam!- and the pistol is just retarded and unrealistic. thats why they would never make pvp multiplayer because the game its soo noobed out. im not -blam!- on odst tho. fun idea for bungie to make and once people realize its not HALO, the more people will like it. but i just hope reach is more like halo 3 rather than halo odst

There is no problem to fix.

Exactly. There's no problem to fix. The problem is the people that say that there's a problem. The problem with you is that, you're trying to take something ('fix') from Halo 3, just cause you don't know how to use it. How do I know that you don't know how to use it you ask?

Another complaint is 3 body shots 1 shot to the head for the BR there is a simple answer to this make it 4 simple head shots to kill someone while doing 3 body shots and 1 headshot make it take only the enemy shields off or if they cant do that make the BR 1 shot like the Carbine.

It's not easy to do a '4 shot'. Take this from a general. It's not easy. Why do you think Halo 3 is the number 1 played game in MLG? It takes skills to use the BR (Halo 3 isn't only in MLG for the BR. But it's mostly for that). The BR doesn't have any problems, you just have to learn to use it as a multi-use weapon. And, if your problem is that the Carbine doesn't have enough ammo, why don't you use a BR instead?

agreed. most people that dont like it are people that get owned by that one person that goes +20 in a game and only uses the BR. solution: learn to use it

You're just one of those wanna'bes. The AR is in fact not 'noobish'. Using the AR for everything it may be a little 'noobish' as you call it. The AR is a good weapon to kill from close range. Example: you have an BR for primary weapon and a AR for secondary weapon and the opponent is right below you with a BR for his primary weapon. The best way to kill him is to switch to your secondary weapon (which is the AR) and kill him from close range. You'll have more chances of killing him with the BR. Halo 3: ODST had the BR removed and the Automatic Pistol added to at least change it a little. Don't you think that if they would've keep the BR and would've only changed the SMG a little, people would've gotten bored of all the same? Not only that, but to see how people would like the Automatic Pistol rather than the BR. I liked it cause it was different, but I rather the BR than the Automatic Pistol.

This is my answer. If you read the whole thing, it makes a lot of sense.

I also must say that the only weapons I ever see used are the AR, BR, sniper, and laser. All human weapons. I hate that.

Nor is splitting the function a good solution either. Because now people only need to pick up 2 weapons.

No, the best thing to do is make each weapon more specialized, and have it do more damage on a headshot. Why does one gun do more damage on a headshot, but another doesn't? It makes no sense. If every weapon does more damage on a headshot, then it gives people a reason to be accurate, and to not spray.

Im not arguing with the BR first of all i like the BR but most people whine about the BR being to easy to use so why not make it a little weaker to make it more balanced for noobs? The reason i want more ammo for the Carbine is because it wont be JUST BR's killing enemies sure i love the BR but i love the Carbine as well i want more maps to use it so it will be a little more variety

Nice i like your post but AR do more damage to the head as well

  • 09.30.2009 1:55 PM PDT

i look at it this way:

the BR is the reason the Halo:CE pistol wasnt in halo 2 or 3, we are going before haloCE so the qestion really is: do we want the BR or the HaloCE pistol

  • 09.30.2009 1:59 PM PDT

Or do we want both?

  • 09.30.2009 2:03 PM PDT

both would make it unbalenced(sp) its either the BR or the old M6, thats the way im seeing this

Yes but from what people say everyone that hates BR wants the M6D Pistol and say its perfect also i just played Halo PC a second ago and it dominates more then the BR if they fix the Pistol instead of the BR and make it equivalent or a little weaker it will still dominate which is why I'm saying that the Br (1 shot, or 3 shot or fixed in anyway but still efficient) and the pistol modified to be equivalent so more variety can be used also make the Ar and plasma weapons the same as halo CE so more weapons can be used more efficiently

  • 09.30.2009 2:16 PM PDT

yes but the BR is filling the M6's(which on high dificultys(sp) it doesnt dominate) roll, the option is simple a pistol or a rifle

  • 09.30.2009 3:37 PM PDT

1. How is it stale if people are still playing it to this day?

2. How often do YOU fout shot?

3.I like this.

4.You already have to fourshot every enemy for a triple kill...

5. Then noobs would start to complain about the pistol, as the pistol was a three shot kill.

Some of those were community arguements so i just posted those i like some and i four shot alot also i forgot you needed to 4 shot every enemy for a triple kill sorry, and if in my first post i said to modify it to make it equivalent to the BR
