"A Chain is Only as Strong as it's Weakest Link"

"You're not that bad...I'm just that good!"

I think the new ODST (FRIGGAN AWESOME!) Magnum should be in Reach and NOT the BR.

I don't have some attack on one side or the other to prove my point (real mature guys). I'm just stating my opinions and wants for the new Halo game.

Bungie knows best nontheless. We'll just have to wait and see.

US Coast Guard prepares for massive rescue mission after Iranian fleet sinks off shore. Reports say a small thunderstorm caused most of the ships to simply...fall apart.

Br killed any skill in halo .


EM ELL GEE Fanboys will disagree...

No br please i agree but yeah i dont agree on everything else you say. Just why would you want this game in here it ruins the whole game. It just gets boring and repetitive. BR is the only gun that is good every other gun is useless BR can take down everything besides vehicles if its held by a good person. Just because His top kill is BR doesnt mean he likes it he is just forced to use it seing most gametypes have BR spawns.

What's so bad about having a gun that can kill most anything in the hands of a good player? Isn't that the whole point of a GOOD gun?

Sounds to me like the OP wants everybody to start with a crap weapon so he can run and get the only good weapon (insert whatever that is) so he'll have an unfair advantage.

you have to be kidding me. the only people who would complain about this are the people who dont know how to use it or keep getting owned by it. get real you guys.

  • 10.06.2009 6:47 PM PDT

Cut the BR into two weapons, the UNSC MA5K Carbine and the M6C/SOCOM.

Because he's the hero Gotham deserves,not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him, because he can take it. He's not a hero. He's a Silent Guardian, a Watchful Protector, A Dark Knight

the br doesn't really take skill, heck video games in general don't take skill lol. all you do is find out where you have to point the cursor (head) and pull the trigger really really fast. i not saying they should take it out. if they did everyone would complain. i prefer the auto mag over br because the recoil makes it harder

  • 10.06.2009 7:06 PM PDT

Meh...I'm on the fence about the BR. I could really take it or leave it. The game's going to be fun either way. If I had to choose though, I guess I would say leave it out of Reach or change it drastically because I would like Reach's gameplay to feel different than halo 3. Right now it is pretty much a BR fest every single game, still fun though;)

  • 10.06.2009 7:08 PM PDT

I think the BR needs to be here, however there need to be more weapons then the Carbine that can engage enemys at BR range, such as the Silenced SMG, or M6C Auto Mag of ODST.

The Carbine in a range fight will usually lose to a BR weilder due to the unpredicitable nature of its shots. I belive if other weapons can engage the BR (but not nesscesarily defeat it) at its own range need to be added.

I belive the same of the AR, there is nothing in the game that can effectivly defeat the AR in close combat.

I disagree, the smg is pretty effective against an AR wielder, at close range anyway.

93% of statistics are lies. Formerly Xfire Grunt. Unfortunately, you can't change the WLID for your BNET account, so I had to create an alternate account. My other WLID was spam city (and it was my e-mail account too).

The BR is the only rifle in the game.

If there is no BR I'll just play COD because I hate it when you have to use SMG based guns, and not rifle type guns. Not to mention, that would mean thee skill curve would be even lower.

No, not necessarily. We can have the carbine and pistol, or a totally revamped BR that makes it less dominant than it already it.

I use it quite well, since I know how to strafe and usually get kills in 4-6 shots.

But I still hate it.

  • 10.06.2009 7:20 PM PDT

i am no MLG fanboy... but their better be a god damned BR in reach. It's the most well known halo wep!

  • 10.06.2009 7:25 PM PDT

if you have any questions about halo i am one of the few people on this site who will gladly help you. Even though this account has been active for only a year, my past accounts go all the way back to 2002.

i think the battle rifle is balanced, but i would like to see it single shot like it was supposed to be for halo 2

­"You have to aim above the head, but then a little lower so you actually get it."

-John Mayer

You complain because people "only know how to use the BR"? The Battle Rifle is basically the only gun with any mid-range accuracy in the game. People who want to win will use it.

Maybe they should implement more guns to counter it instead of adding useless things like spikers? (Which are really just a variant of the far more useful plasma rifle)

Wow, your offended because I want the BR gone? hahaha

  • 10.06.2009 8:05 PM PDT

While I agree that it is very overpowered, I don't think that it should be completely removed, just made more specialized. And other guns should be made more useful at range.

A major reason why the BR is used so much is just because the maps are so large, but no weapon besides the laser, BR, and sniper have have enough effective range or power to be useful.

Here is what I think.

ffs im sick of noobs always saying battlerifle is "unbalanced"

it has been PROVEN that the covanent carbine can kill someone quicker than a battlerifle (only difference is 1 shot but still...)

and besides, its piss-easy to kill someone with a battlerifle, even with an ar. ive done _____ loads of times...ive seen it happen ____ loads of times...

the only people that complain about the br, Are those that;
a) can't use it
b) can't stand getting pawned 'cause they suck.
c) need to blame something or someone for their total SUCKAGE....

cry me a river, build a bridge and get over it....

  • 10.06.2009 8:13 PM PDT

The BR is the only weapon that can get more than one kill per mag in a typical MM scenario.

It is the most accurate gun.
It has the most range, and least spread.
It has a scope
It has the largest mag.

Sounds pretty fair huh?
