There has been alot of threads about how to handle the BR for Reach.

My idea, is to have a Prototype style BR with single shot, and the regular 3-burst BR for multiplayer, to make sure stuff like MLG is not ruined.

Please vote...

true.. doesnt have to be silenced, just like a semi auto as fast as you can go type of thing. but on the other hand. if bungie gives it to us in campaign all the 4 year olds are gonna want it in multiplayer

Ummmm. MLG played Halo before the BR was introduced. Back then the midrange weapon (Pistol) was single shot, not burst. If anything, burst fire ruined what MLG had going due to it being so random online.

Being able to change rate of fire would be cool.

There's No Problem That Can't Be Solved With An Abundance Of Weed and A Jetpack.

Singleshot when scoped, burst when unscoped. That sounds reasonable.

Dang it! You said it first!

Personally, I think an actual "skilled" person in Halo 3 is someone who knows how to win with every weapon and combo in the game, not just a single weapon like the BR, Sniper, or even the AR. Of course, that excludes me, as I have yet to get a kill with dual plasma pistols. :D

Why not just single shot for both? It wouldn't change anything for MLG except the number of times you have to pull the trigger.

Or the d-pad we never use that.
Single shot could be more accurate, three shot burst could have a bit of bullet spread and full auto could be completely all over the place like the AR (maybe a little more accurate).

how about two different types of BR

-The BR55 should be semi auto like in the halo 2 announcement

-and MA5K should be exactly like the BR in Halo 3 just with kill shot down to 5 not 4, and a fire rate increase. and Louder

and for Multi-player have only one of these BRs per map default. so an MA5K for maps like Guardian, and Lock Out. and BR55 for maps like Sand trap, and Avalanche

I have another idea for the BR - retire it.

  • 10.10.2009 9:43 AM PDT

The battle rifle is too weak per bullet as it is to be made single shot. The three round burst and accuracy is what makes the BR so powerful. And if they up the damage just for single player and make it three round for multiplayer it would be overpowered.

http://halowiki.net/p/Weapon_damage
Assault rifle damage: 7.5
Battle Rifle damage: 6.0 ( 18 per burst)
Carbine: 10

There's no way a player can shoot as fast as the three round burst to make up for the lack of damage. Also a up-damaged semi auto BR would just be a Carbine. So i dont see how it would work either way.

  • 10.10.2009 10:08 AM PDT

Do you really care? you can't automatically see my signature anyway.

how about single shot in MP and burst in Campaign.

otherwise, NO

RIP Halo 2: November 9, 2004-May 10, 2010
I was the 2nd to last person to get kicked off Halo 2, see the thread Here

I don't want the BR, I want the Pistol.

  • 10.10.2009 10:55 AM PDT

No BR. Please. Halo 1 pistol is good enough.

  • 10.10.2009 10:56 AM PDT

Who cares if MLG is ruined. The point is to make the game fun to play with a bunch of usable weapons. Not makes sure a few nerds that want to make their living at halo are happy. I liked ODST with no BR, I was forced to use almost every other weapon in the game. If the BR was in fire fight. That would be the only thing I used. same gose for multiplayer.

single shot BR = the Halo CE pistol, and the carbine.

A Single-shot BR would have better range, accuracy and clip size.
