look, i CAN aim. really, the only problem i have with the BR is that it makes other weapons useless... when was the last time you seriously used a PR in matchmaking? or how about those carbines? those SMGs? not used EVER.

EDIT: maybe the carbine is used on like 1 map (assembly) and in SWAT.

the only thing that will fix that is to remove duel wielding. b/c if they removed the BR, the AR will be over-used or whatever you kids complain about.

Where do you gather the idea that the people who do not agree with you are children?

Even the greatest were once at the bottom.

What's wrong with the Battle Rifle? It's near perfection! (That is an opinion.)

People use age as an excuse to insult someone. As if a little number next to your name that says how long you've got left actually means something.

removing the Br isn't what i'm talking about. howzaboutz no spawns with it, and only 2-3 per map? *cough* *Halo 2* *cough* then other weapons would get USE, like SMGs and PRs and other crap. and no, the AR won't get overused, because it SUCKS.

And do explain why the AR sucks.

oh, well, it just has no power and no range (inaccurate except for close), i mean, it has trouble killing from shields to lift on gaurdian, while the BR cleans house at that range. also, the lack of headshots greatly decreases it's viability as a weapon.

Perhaps that's because other weapons are useless? Outside of maps like Epitaph and Snowbound, there is absolutely no need to be picking up weapons like the Plasma Rifle or Spiker, that's not the Br's fault, that's the fault of Bungie making other weapons near useless. What's more is that, with Ar being the default starting/secondary weapon, there is even less need to pick up other CQC weapons, they don't function different enough and don't provide enough of a power boost to even bother to be picked up. As for the Carbine, it's on 1-2 maps and is so similar in function and power to the Br there is no need to pick it up.

It is a close range machine gun of sorts, that would explain why it doesn't land headshots and requires a close range. Besdies, I don't seem to have trouble removing shields with the AR. Yeah, the BR is versitile, but a lot of things can stop it,

okay, okay. but imagine this:

you have an AR, no BRs on map. you are on a map with many "useless" weapons. because your AR is useless on close range, you pick up 1/2 PRs, because the rounds are more precise at a longer range. or, you pick up another "useless" weapon, the MAGNUM, and do the ODST combo: take down shields with dual PRs, then headshot with the maggie. and nobody 4-shots you!

Your friendly and eccentric Sangheili forum-poster. :)

My problem is not the BR. However, the other weapons are a problem. The way Halo is set up at the moment, the BR is the most convenient and powerful weapon in the right hands, apart from the power weapons of course. Now, if there were more UNIQUE weapons in the game, and not Covenant clones like the Carbine, I think the BR problem would be solved, and everyone would have their own personal way of killing other players.

Bungie killed Halo when they thought the BR was a good idea.
