Subject: The real problem with the BR

Im the best of the best and better than the rest....

The thing is there are so many people that get owned with the BR everytime that they play halo online. people complain because they are tired of it. It requires skill to play halo probalbly the only game that takes the most skill.

So instead of crying about get used to it and learn how to use it. I think the BR is balanced it can be beaten by any other weapon as long as you know what to do. Halo 3 is balanced as anygame will ever.

Halo Reach will most not likely have a BR since Halo 2 and 3 multiplayer were built around it so expect it not to be there.

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

Street Fighter takes more skill. Just throwin' that out there. Even BUNGIE has Street Fighter games in their office they are so competitive with it.

With B.B. gone, the passion of Bungie.net has lessened.

The real problem with the BR is that it's a huge topic of discussion when there's nothing of importance to discuss about it.

It's a gun that fits the role it was made for just fine. It ain't perfect, and it never should be.

Yeah, it is, mostly because in the game you actually have battle in which every aspect of movement, aim, and control matter. Where as other games, like CoD, its just shoot, thats all there is... shoot.

The thing with fighter games is that you can learn EVERY combo and still get your arse kicked by some kid randomly smashing buttons!

The BR is an essential part of the Halo game play, one that makes it so great.

I'm terribly sorry if you get killed by the BR every 10 seconds, but, that just means you stink at Halo then. And, the BR WILL BE AN ESSENTIAL PART OF REACH. It is the Spartans' primary weapon.

That's the problem, the role it fits in Halo should not be there. That KIND of weapon shouldn't exist in Halo, it does mess up the gameplay.

Halo relies on a balance of all the weapons together, like a big round teeter totter, putting another weapon in the middle like that means that all the other weapons become obsolete, they can all jump off the teeter totter and that one weapon can be the only one there. THAT is the BR's role, and it should NOT exist.

Tell that to the guy 4 computers down from me.

I can mash all day I will never land a hit on him. People don't understand that fighters have so little to do with learning the combos, that is like step 1 on a ladder with 30 steps to becoming truly skilled at a fighter.

Actually it is a Marines Primary weapon, the Assault Rifle is a Spartans general weapon of choice. Nice try with that one though.

And believe me, I USE the BR, EFFECTIVELY. And it does WIN ME LOTS OF GAMES. But then all the other weapons get lonely. They do, because all of them are useless when there is one gun in the middle.

Code of Conduct

The problem with the BR is that it is repetitive. Aiming for the head, and pulling the trigger over and over is all the BR is.

They either need to make the BR do less damage if they are going to keep it, or make the other main weapons (smg, AR, spiker, and PR) kill enemies just as fast. Otherwise there is no need to use any other weapon if it can be used for every situation.

Halo CE's AR, and BR were great. The Halo 2 Pistol should return with a slight power boost, and the SMG is fine. Spiker does need a boost for sure though. It should be bigger, single wield, lower fire rate, much more damage.

Umm you realise the br is too good nothing can beat it at medium to long range. so it makes for stale gameplay.

Even close range, the Melee/headshot beats anything that isn't a sword, shotgun, mauler, or hammer.

That is probably the only reason most high level players HATE those weapons, because they can actually beat a BR.

I like to lax and i like to partAy

the br is definitely balanced and people that complain just plainly suck and are more used to games like COD where a few shots kills some one

Amazing explanation. I think the Br should stay because it lokks so awesome but I think it should be changed to medium range only and not be a weapon that does everything and is around every corner of a map.

-Br has more range than every weapon besides sniper and laser.
-It's bullets are almost hit scan.
-It has a scope
-It has a large aimer, yet all the bullets have little spread
-It is the only (rifle) weapon that can get more than 1 kill per mag in a typical MM scenario
-It can be used at any range as long you have enough sense to aim at the head

[sarcasm]Yep. Pretty damn balanced if you ask me. [/sarcasm]

This is my solution.

halo 3 requires no skill at all you just gotta know how to shoot and jump and dodge bullets (which is really not that hard)

  • 09.30.2009 4:49 PM PDT

Why are you even looking at my forum signature? Are you that bored?
Well, check this stuff out: Service Record , File Share , Career Stats

I don't think the BR should be taken out, just nerfed a little bit.

I concur. Removing a weapon is a step back, either nurfing it, or boosting others, is a step forward.
