Subject: No Battle Rifle

There better not be a Battle Rifle in this game. It's just an excuse for all the people that can only use that gun and none others, besides the sniper. But of course Bungie will put it in to please the -blam!- MLG "pros". Either that or they could make a new gun, thats original.

Only because you suck using it. And that's the only excuse, pretty much :/ Not all br users are MLG



Your top 2 ToD's are Respectively Br, then sniper. You sir, are a hypocrite.

Just because I hate the BR doesn't mean I suck with it. It's pretty much the only gun used in the game besides the sniper, and if you want to actually kill something you got to use it, seeing how everyone else relys on it to get kills.

Gavintaft, you must be a COMPLETE noob.


Yeah because I care if i'm good at a video game :/


Posted by: NobleOranges
the only thing is people dont like it because its the only weapon that takes skills in halo 3. and if your good at the br your good at the game.


Using one gun till you reach victory doesn't make you good at the game, it's relying on one gun.

another post saying no br
wow...
you people seriously want no balance in the game
and by the way yes we the MLG community want the BR because its a balanced competitive weapon
You obvisously hate because you cant use it

Halo 2 BR will always be better then the H3 BR because of it was a consistent weapon on both live or LAN
Halo 3 is inconsistent on both live and LAN because of bullet regristration is horrible

and you say it takes no skil..
Wow.. its 4 shots to the head.. nope
no wonder you dont like it because you suck with it
its 3X body and 1X Head


The BR is not a balanced weapon, most gametypes are AR start, so all the hardcore players rush BR and those who dont get them, or cant use them, get destroyed. I guess it'd be balanced in MLG gametypes, seeing most people who play MLG like the BR or use it enough to use it well, and of course another person saying I suck at it.

i dont like the BR that muuch. But if they ever do add the BR back in. Make it the Halo 2 BR ... not the crappy Halo 3 one.

Halo 2 BR was worse than the Halo 3 one.

The Halo 3 BR requires you to lead and has a bullet spread, so if there's going to be one, make it that one. Otherwise, remove it ENTIRELY. Maybe only in Campaign. I'm sick of the BR being the only gun in Halo 3. I miss the glory days of the M6D rush.

I dont care. I'd rather see something new, instead of putting the same weapon in the game for a third time, they did that with the Assault Rifle which was actually good in Halo: Combat Evolved, then the put it in Halo 3 and it failed.

i know what you mean. Halo CE the AR was brilliant ... and in Halo 3 the SMG was better than it. Same in ODST.

Which is why I dont want the Battle Rifle in Reach, because it'd fail just like the Assault Rifle in Halo 3 and be a waste of a weapon.

So? People need to learn to use a new weapon instead of relying on the same old weapon to get them through to the point where they can succeed. Im sick of hearing people in matchmaking cry because they can't get Team BRs, and they end up with Assault Rifles which they think take "no-skill" which they do. Because most people can't go against someone also using the Assault Rifle and not get killed, because all they do is spray then melee.

no br


what he said

  • 10.06.2009 3:12 PM PDT

the reason it changed so much is it too good for multyplayer the headshot is too easy to get im gratefull that it will not be apering in reach

  • 10.06.2009 3:13 PM PDT

like when im running to a guy with my AR in a wide open long rang space, and the guy shoots me with a BR and all i think is...."blam!" im done for

This can be fixed i posted this a while ago

the MA5 is a brilliant weapon
- it fires a 7.62x51fmj hence it would be effective past 500m
- its a bull-pup so it would be good in close quarters
the AR should be a jack of trades weapon good at everything perfect at nothing

in halo 3 game-play however the bullets disappear at about 150m and is barely accurate when fired in burst. it sounds like an automatic bb gun.

i would like to see some simple changes with this weapon that i believe would make game-play funner

1. make it loud, the halo 1 AR was just worthless in every aspect however the unmistakable rumble of the weapon made it worth using

2. make auto-fire accurate, yes the MA5 would have ungodly recoil however, this should not have such an effect on a 2 ton spartan. I'm not saying it should be dead center accurate in auto-fire but a spartan should be able put rounds in the center of mass at 100 yards

3. make head shots lethal, i find it ridiculous that there are a select few weapons that have a head shot ability

4. give an aim or optical zoom ability, this is when the MA5 should be dead center accurate

I like this idea. Also, there should be a gradual loss of accuracy if you spam the trigger down. And there should be a little bit of upwards motion from the recoil. So the cautious player will win against the player who pulls a Tasmanian Devil and just mashes their palms against the controller.

I hate the BR

ya no br

  • 10.06.2009 3:41 PM PDT

Gavintaft, you must be a COMPLETE noob. You obviously suck at headshots, and are always killed by someone more skilled than you with the br, and thats why you dont want it in reach. Get over it, br ftw.

Just because you think it was horrible in halo 3 does not mean Bungie can't "fix" it and put in reach. I'm pretty reach WILL have the BR.

If you listen to yourself... you don't make sense.

You seem to want a variety of weapons... however your solution to this is to take away a weapon? Absurd.

  • 10.06.2009 3:51 PM PDT

the only thing is people dont like it because its the only weapon that takes skills in halo 3. and if your good at the br your good at the game.

  • 10.06.2009 3:55 PM PDT

I'm gonna be really pissed if they remove the Battle Rifle from the game. It's a great weapon and I can't play too well without it. They would lose a majority of their fan base if they announce that they had removed it.

The fact that they removed it from ODST didn't have as much of an impact because it was a campaign/survival mode game only. If they remove it from Reach, they'd be removing it from multiplayer 2, and alot of people will be really angry

  • 10.06.2009 4:00 PM PDT

Don't feed the Trolls but give them sunlight!

what do some poeple have against Br's??? just becuz you cant shoot with it?? are your hands shaking to much becuz your angry or have no other thing that doesnt involve gaming.... really Br is the weapon that you need to handle with skills.... if your good enough you can take out alot of players with it... and most poeple can handle other weps then only the br and better yet there is always the carbine.. poeple who can handle brs are just as good in handeling withth carbine. if you cant handle either of them..... idk try to improve your stick grenade aiming... maybe that helps.

btw i us the br and when there isnt a br team slayer match.... i just shoot with other weps. doesnt always have to be br bu if its in and i can grab i just us eit but not always.
