This has probably already been posted at some point before, but would you prefer a single shot BR as opposed to the 3-shot BR? I remember in a halo 2 New Mombasa demo, they had a single shot BR. I wanted to know what you guys would prefer.

No. just create a new rifle that is single shot, or just leave it as is.

yes i have wanted a HUMAN semi auto rifle in a halo game. Halo CE had one but it came in the form of pistol for some reason.
and the battle rifle feels like the games assault rifle, making it semi auto would make more a marksman's weapon.

Speaking of chuckles, let's all lol at IonicPaul, who makes friends with bugs to make up for his lack of human contact.

Semi auto Battle Rifle would allow for much more balanced gameplay. It wouldn't be LOL BUTTON MASH, but it would be near pull-trigger-as-fast-as-you-can fast. Like, faster than the carbine but slower than the automag.

I was hoping that in Halo Reach, they'd have some sort of cool prototype version of a BR that shot one round at a time as fast as the carbine. In my opinion, it would be better that way.

It would need to shoot faster than the carbine because it would be useless, as it does less damage.

But not ridiculously fast, like the automag, or else it would be WORSE than the current battle rifle.

You would also conserve ammo.

I want a purple BR too.

As for a HUMAN semi-auto weapon, that'd be the pistol.

As for a HUMAN SEMI-AUTO RIFLE, that'd be the sniper.

Just live with the BR as it is.

I don't mind the BR as it is, I'm just saying a semi-auto version similar to the carbine would be cool, too.

I understand, but adding more weapons with similar purposes to another becomes redundant.

The Carbine is used by the Covenant as a mid-range weapon like the BR and the Humans. Both sides have rocket launchers, snipers, standard rifles, close-range weapons, and pistols, but they're all different in ways that make them different from their counterparts.

Once somebody told me that they were playing H:CE and they were watching an grunt for a really long time and then it turned into an elite.

... or just use the covenant carbine X(

You think it would be cool for Bungie to write the industrial impossibility of a weapon moving from prototype to universal deployment within three months into Halo canon?

  • 11.03.2009 7:03 PM PDT

I was told that in the book a spartan was handed a rifle with a scope. I'm just saying it would be cool(to me) if they had a semi-auto type human rifle. Ok?

- why is a pistol cartridge more effective than a rifle cartridge, I'm asking for realism but that contradicts common sense why not just give M6D to every one at that point.

- There is a vast difference to a small semi-auto rifle and a semi auto anti tank cannon.

- The BR as it is, is a Assault Rifle

It'd be an interesting change. I'm welcome to it.

We could also have a human needler that fills the same niche as the covenant needler. Or a human plasma rifle that also drains shields rapidly. But then things start to get a wee bit ridiculous.

  • 11.03.2009 7:12 PM PDT

I mean, I've heard a lot of people complaining about how unbalanced the BR is on these forums, and I wanted to see how many people thought it would be a good change. Personally, I don't have a problem with it, but I think that a semi-auto BR would be pretty awesome.

Well, there's the carbine. But it wouldnt feel the same cuz it's not a UNSC weapon.
