Subject: is bungie removing the battle rifle ????????? o_O i hope not !!!!!!

why not because...

IMO its the weapon that makes the game so frinking awsome. i think it is not overpowerd. i realy like those br fights.

the weapon does take skill you need to compine it with strafing and jumping and aiming at the same time. if they would remove the battle rifle the sniper would be overpowerd.

if they would remove the battle rifle.

Bungie, oh Bungie, oh Bungie,
Know what would really be fun, G?
I don’t wish to nag
But remake Coag,
Or die from a purple sword-lungie.

I hope they bring back the old BR.

Look out.... -boom- (headshot)
I told you to look out, but know, you got in my way, was going to shoot that splaser....

All they should make it do is make it good at long distances and bad at short distances by making it gain damage over distance, with where it's being shot from being where there is no damage.


You realize that is the reverse of how it is sapose to work right? strong at close range, slows down, loses it's velocity, and gets weaker as it travels through the air untill it finally hits something or falls the the ground.


How they should do it, if it is coming back, is as a prototype like how it is when the Spartans first use it when they were trying to escape the CASTLE research facility.

And this is how I feel about idiots. Idiot

Or, you could simply make the melee half as strong, limiting the BR's CQC potential.

That's correct, at least in the real world. Since this is a game and not the real world, anything can happen. When was the last time you saw a giant laser killing anyone?


Ah, but the military researchers are working on trying to utilize lasers as weapons, are they not? The SPARTAN Laser utilizes very dense particals of light super heated enough that it may not only travel at the speed of light, but blow -blam!- up as well, in theory.

Now, as we are talking about a game taking place aproximatly two hundred and forty sum years from now, all those thing MIGHT be possible, as there is no such thing as impossible because even the most improbable thing has a high enough probability to eventually work or come to light, and as such I leave my self open minded.

Quick! We have to jump back into the time portal to get back to the fake reality!


And thus human nature takes over, creating conflict, but fine.
I was mearly stating how things could be possible when people think they are not. Now, if you were to say, shot a bullet from a M16, it will travel is realistic range and slowdown quickly and fall to the ground or hit something with less of an impact, thus causing major injury but not death. I do not deny that some day in the future we could,some how, reverse engineer said gun to get reverse results, BUT untill such a time comes, I doubt anyone would make a gun that speeds up over time, and does little to nil at point blank range.

How to spell "space"?

S-P-ACE! SPACE!

No other weapon in Halo's arsenal kills in four shots. Point made.

Sniper kills in 1 shot, Rocket Launcher kills with 1 shot, Splazer kills with 1 shot, Shotgun kills with 1 shot, Mauler kills in 2 shots, Sword kills with 1 swing, Hammer kills with 1 swing, Fuel Rod kills with 2 direct shots, Brute Shot kills with 4 direct shots, etc.

Heck, the AR may take 6 bullets + melee, but that takes less time than 4 shots. The Carbine can kill in relatively the same time as the BR. You can't make an arguement about a weapon that strictly debates how fast or how many shots it takes to kill one person.

However, this isn't my point. You can kill in that many shots, but that doesn't always mean that you will. Technically, you might not even get a single kill with 4 rockets.
