Something has to have its niche. And it can be balanced.

I know of an easier way, bring back the Halo: Combat Evolved weapon set, add some new weapons that can fit* into it, and there you go.
*Those weapons include the carbine, Fuel Rod Cannon, the Mauler[?], and the Plasma Pistol.

That way the multiplayer will be dominated by the hand cannon again right?

Exactly. The difference between the pistol and the BR is that the pistol took real skill to kill with, but if you had that skill it was very powerful.

Why shouldn't more skilled players be able to kill less skilled players?

Even the greatest were once at the bottom.

I say just kill it.

While playing odst it came to my attention that the carbine had the same effect as the smg as your aiming begins to tilt upwards if you fire to repeatedly, If you keep the br the same and just add this effect to the weapon, then BAM, it now takes skill to aim the br.

/Thread Please post after voting. lolo.


I like this. The BR would actaully require focus to use. This should have the same effect with the carbine as well.

That's right, we don't play Halo against one another to go "Yay, everybody wins!" at the end

See you on Reach

I think the BR could just be left out for story reasons, never mind the AR vs BR argument. The BR was supposed to still be in development by ONI around the time of the attack on Reach if I'm remembering correctly.

You can't be serious right now. Yeah, let us do that, let us make a game where the people who aren't good already get totally destroyed and don't want to play the game. Let us make a weapon that you can 3 shot across a map a big as sidewinder.

Get real. Casual players need to play to, and Bungie won't make a game where skilled players have a totally unfair advantage over the casual players.
