Dude I don't care and my grammer is perfect.I used "Big", as you recall it to mak is specific."to not do...",is incorrect beause "do" is present tense/perfect(or future) when it was a past tense.

It can stay, as long as it isn't the OPd, renders-all-guns-useless, jack-of-all-trades source of my hatred.

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.

NURFED. They can nurf it, and your seriously selling ODST over the BATTLE RIFLE. Damn, why are MLG players so -blam!-y when it comes to the BR. It takes far less skill than a Carbine to use, and a Carbine can be more effective. Just -blam!- use that.

Halo CE and Halo 2 worked very well and the Halo CE pistol and the Halo 2 BR were more powerful than the Halo 3 BR by far. Tell me, if it wasn't overpowered in those games, how is a weaker version overpowered in Halo 3?

The BR isn't overpowered at all, you just see people get many BR kills and attribute it to the weapon being overpowered which isn't the case at all. It is fairly common and and it versatile (NOT OVERPOWERED), which is why you see it get many kills.

You're an idiot. Liking the Br doesn't mean he likes MLG. As for the Br breaking the game, you couldn't be more wrong. H3 works very well with the Br, as did H2, there is absolutely no reason to remove the Br. In fact, I surely hope they include it, if ODST is any indicator for me, I won't have as much fun with the campaign or MP without the Br.

The BR is what fricken made halo 3 a game of skill. (not so much halo 2) The carbine is not accurate enough and the AR takes 0 skill to use. The one thing i wish was in ODST was the BR because the smg just doesn't do it for me. And since when does liking MLG become a bad thing? I'm definitely a BR supporter.

In Halo CE EVERYTHING was OP so it worked out fine.

In Halo 2 the BR was complained about way MORE than Halo 3, I don't know if you remember or not, but Halo 2's BR is probably the most broken, complained about weapon in any game ever.

Halo 3 they nerfed it, but it's STILL too strong.

Agreed on Halo CE having the best balance.

The H2 BR wasn't broken, the reason most people complained was because of button glitches, which doesn't make the weapon itself overpowered. The Halo 3 BR is fine, there is no need to change it.

Just so everyone who says "ODSTs campaign was ruined without the BR" you couldn't be more wrong. ODST was harder than Halo 3 by far, and the main REASON was because the BR didn't win the whole game on it's own. The fact that you actually had to tactically plan your moves and weapon loadout made the game interesting and fun. Throw on Tilt, Famine, and Tough Luck and your in for a real strategic game.

The same goes for Multiplayer, I fount out that if you remove the BR, and Carbine ENTIRELY from custom games. The team almost instinctively divides up all the other weapons, and employs more communication and teamwork into their play.

ALL the BR does is
1: Make every weapon in the game obsolete, and unnecessary.

2: Almost completely remove the need for real true teamwork.

Hell yes! I don't even play MLG but the BR is my favorite weapon. People just complain about it because they get destroyed by people who actually know how to use it.

The Halo 2 BR had a higher rate of fire, AND was hitscan. Combined with the insane aim assist Halo 2 had it was unstoppable at any range, in any situation.

WITH Button glitches it was even worse than that.
