How will the game be balanced? Will there be AR rushers only? Discuss

  • 10.18.2009 5:11 PM PDT

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

Who knows???

And AR rushing wouldn't exist if the Melee wasn't overpowered.

The battle rifle wasn't in production till halo 2.

But Kelly describes there being a pistol with bullets the size of the Spartans thumb and she takes down a brute commander in three shots.

Well that sounds a lot better. Sorry when I heard no BR I thought of ODST's campaign and firefight. I was a little worried that they'd ruin another Halo game.

Well if they're doing it that way, maybe they'll have the magnum from Halo1. That was an awesome weapon.

Wow, really? Not being able to use the BR RUINED ODST for you?

There were BR prototypes on Reach, they use them in the books. But I hope to GOD that they take the BR out.

Way to make stereotypes, mate.

  • 10.18.2009 5:19 PM PDT

It is my latest cultural research project! By randomly saying LOLWIN to semi-funny replies on the Halo 3 forum, I hypothesize that a temperary self-esteem boost will be present.

And once they read this, they will be a little worse off than before.

This is purely off of a likely corrupted memory of halopedia, but didn't they have a human carbine called the M6J (Semi auto).

No the storyline and having to walk around that big a$$ city ruined it. Not having a BR ruined firefight.

Can you believe it?

Give the AR more range, reduce it's melee attack strength, and maybe give it a scope to replace the BR.

Its just a matter of preference. The BR is a good all around weapon.

A little bit too good if you ask me.

Wherever you roam
so far from home
you'll be safe from peril
life threatening and terrible
if you avoid David Powel
and keep track of your towel.

Wasn't that an M6C, the Halo 2 pistol?

witch is why bungie wanted it out so it would be harder and plus you would use the br for every enemy until the tilt skull went on

OK, I hope the AR rush is not as big of a part of Reach as it was on halo 3.
what that did was turn the AR in to a shield peeler there was a point in time where the AR took 8 hits to drop your shield and 9 more hits to kill you

i just want the MA5B with a reduced Mag, and an Accuracy boost
The MA5 should not be a purpose built bludgeoning tool

the Carbine,BR, AR, should have the same melee power

or hell make all melee's with an acceptation to the covi weapons like the plasma pistol, think about it if a spartan decides, Bash in a half ton space marine with the stock of hi BR, the fail point would be the Little plastic BR not the spartan

Perhaps you should settle for an Automag. Not the one in ODST, A true Automag. The haloCE one where if you held down the trigger it kept shooting.

you are not getting my point, i just want an assault rifle that works like an assault rifle.

and about the halo CE pistol. i would not mind it. if it had a damage fall-off mechanic that restricted it to close range
