With B.B. gone, the passion of Bungie.net has lessened.
Yeah, sure. That's what I disliked about the Halo 1 pistol; it's skin. I know, I know, it's a poor reason to -blam!- about it, but I'm a man that likes when aesthetic and function are combined sensibly, and the Halo 1 pistol was not made with both in mind. The aesthetic of the pistol, and the function of a rifle; it just wasn't a likable gun (but yeah, it did the job really well).
However, I'm a huge fan of the Carbine, so I wouldn't want to see a human weapon re-worked in such a way that would essentially overlap with the Carbine in function. I'm not the biggest fan of the BR, but only for the reason that it's it's a topic of discussion when it shouldn't be. People just -blam!- because they want a perfect weapon, when there's no realistic reason why there should be a perfect weapon in a video game. The 3-shot burst is a nice little tool, and often makes the kill-shot a lot easier, giving it a nice longer-distance edge over the carbine (which is slightly more inaccurate). It gives the two weapons the ability to coexist.
My counter-question is this: Would people still complain if each three shot burst of the BR was compiled into one bullet, but keeping the spacing between shots the same? In other words, four shots (and four bullets) to the head will kill, but the time it would take to do that would be the same as it is now? Would people like this better, or worse?
