Subject: Single-shot BR?

Just take the Halo 1 pistol shots and put it in the BR body, clip size of 12-15, 4 shots to the head for a kill. And give it a nice, deep, and loud sound too

I'm all for this. Balance the other weapon's killspeed around this rifle, and you have a similar weapon set to the one that got me hooked on Halo CE.

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.


Agreed

Halo1 was great and it had no clone weapons. Halo2 added Covenant set, which was a good idea but some of the execution lacked - the simplicity was blurred. Halo3 continued it.

Carbine is great. Automag/Magnum isn't exactly the same so I can approve it, but a single shot BR would be just useless.

I like this idea. Usually, the weapons are about equal in damage to the covenant version, but I think six head shots would better. Plus, the BR was cut out of Halo 3: ODST because one of the lead designers(I think that's who it was) didn't like it, and they needed memory space, or something that had to do with memory. I dunno, maybe he'd like it better if it were semi-auto.

I'll be happy if it's in Reach at all.

Too often, people post on forums and just regurgitate what they've seen already and don't really explain their own views. - achronos

No Elites in Halo 3: ODST = FAIL

Halo shouldnt be afraid to add extra functionality to weapons, I'd like to have the both, to fire the BR single and in burst.... afterall sometimes you dont need 3 bullets to get the job done, seems a little waistful....

Then again I am getting really fed up with Halo's head shot model, All the little guys are much too easy to kill, at first its funny but after a while its just a little dull.

I played through HaloCE back in the day with:
AR, Plasma Rifle: beginning
AR, shotgun against the flood

I dont think I would have enjoyed it as much had the pistol been more readily available.

Hmmm, I don't know what to say...

Great idea, I think of this quite often.
What would be better if you could switch modes on the gun which then allowed you to single shot or triple shot.

Troll confirmed. I never even insulted you

OP - You're a dumbass with the reading comprehension skills of a second grader.


Can someone tell me what's wrong with these two, this made me LOL hard.

Why not make it an option to make it one shot or three shot? That way it'll be the Halo version of the P90.
