Hi, I am the White Mamba Overlord of our group the ODSM.
We are not a clan, and we don't play the game for competition. Instead we play for fun, and to hang out with friends. If you are interested in joining go to our group homepage and sign up. Membership is open.
We are mostly a Halo 3: ODST group for help with achievements and stuff, but we also will play a lot of Halo 3 matchmaking.
I am going to put my idea out there:
If the BR is going to be in Halo: Reach I personally think that it should be changed... MAJORLY!
I think that the BR in Reach should be simalar to Halo 3's magnum. It should be a single fire weapon and have about the same accuracy as the magnum. It shouldn't be very accurate, but still fairly effective.
If you didn't notice, the Halo 3's pistol is almost as affective as the BR. Only takes 5 headshots to kill, and it dosn't have the option to zoom in, yet people hate it. In my oppinion, if there is any "pro" weapon to use. It would have to be the Magnum. It is effective, but it is hard to use.
MLG is actually very "noobish" in my opinion. I was watching a video the other day of some pro MLG'ers playing ODST, and they were complaining about the Pistol not being powerfull enough. I don't know what you think, but IMO that just proves that MLG is filled with power "noobs."
I am going to repeat myself here if you didn't really understatnd me before:
Just go out and use the Halo 3 Magnum some time and you will see what I mean. It is actually really powerfull. It just can't zoom and isn't as accurate.
The BR should be the same way. It should still be able to zoom in though, and it should still be able to range as it does now. I just think that it shouldn't be as accurate and only be able to single fire.
Oh, and if you feel like flaming me and want to say "Stop crying you noob! You only complain about it because you can't use it! Just look at your stats!" Please think before you say that. I am fairly good at using the BR. I just prefer to use other weapons because I find the BR to be very borring and repetitive. I like to use variety.
So what do you guys think? Do you like my idea? Do you hate it?
EDIT: If you have any ideas that could change the BR for the better. Feel free to post them. I would love to hear. =)
