Im not going to talk about anything that i shouldnt...however, i have heard some widespread speculation that basically states that the beloved Battle Rifle is now void of its signature 3-Shot-Burst!

I will remain to support Bungie even if it has been transformed into a single-shot weapon, but i will do so with a grain of salt. The BR is a classic staple of Halo online play. Us players have grown accustomed to its uniquely familiar "Ttrraaaat Ttrrraaat Trraaaaat!"

Im all for a new, single-shot, human-based weapon to act as a direct counter to the carbine, but i still think the BR should retain its burst fire.

So, what do u guys think about this? Are you in favor of a new, sinlge-shot BR, or do you want it to keep its classic 3-Round-Burst?

Eat it

It would make it more of a precision weapon... and it will probably be more powerful. I'm thinking something like the Halo 3 Beta Carbine... that thing was bad ass!

I dont care if there going in the past but if were really downgrading weapons more then just the BR its going to hurt the game due to the other COD, Battlefield 3, and any other Multiplayer games

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.
/slow clap for respect

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

I have always like the 1shot BR more then the 3 shot, ever since it first appeared in the Halo 2 E3 DEMO

You know, the forum ninja aren't exactly stupid. There was no point in putting the *wink wink* in. Or even hint about things.

On topic, I'm not quite sure why people want a single shot BR when the carbine is pretty much that. Maybe because the Carbine wasn't black and didn't match up with their armor or soul or something.

Halo 1>Halo 2>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>Halo 3

Want to hear a funny joke? Marijuana prohibition.

Single shot is definitley the way to go for the BR.

Take this into consideration: the BR was meant to replace the Pistol in Halo 2. However, with the weapon being a burst fire gun, players could just sweep their crosshairs over a player's head to get the final shot in a BR fight, thus lowering the amount of skill it took to use the all purpose weapon in the game.

Bring back a single shot weapon like the Pistol in Halo 1 to increase the skill gap once again

The Carbine isn't as strong or consistent as the BR

ok, i could see that.

I agree if they remove the 3 shot burst then the BR will be even more like the carbine, And I dont want to of the same

That's nice, but in Reach the BR (which takes 4 shots to kill) should be single shot (the Carbine takes 6).

If by next-gen you mean crappy, dark and colorless, I agree. It doesnt look next-gen at all.

I wouldn't even though the Carbine is a better thought out weapon than the BR is.

The Carbine is better

Is your entire argument really based on the fact that you like the sound effect?

The Carbine is better

I'm not even justifying that with a response...

Except this one.

And that one.

And that one.

It was stronger than the BR in the Halo 3 BETA.

The Carbine can fire 6 shots faster the BR can fire 4

What

That's not a valid reason why the Carbine will be in Reach

If the covenant needs a mid-range weapon to counter the BR, then the humans need a small gun with heatseeking capabilities to counter the Needler.

Okay, but we aren't talking about Halo 3 here. In Halo Reach, the BR should be single shot and have the rate of fire of a Carbine. Thus, the BR will kill in the time it takes the Carbine to fire off 4 shots.

That would mean something, if it didn't take 8 carbine shots to kill someone.

It is a well established fact that the battle rifle is superior to the carbine... do you even play this game?

  • 11.06.2009 8:06 AM PDT

If the BR is similar to the Halo 1 Pistol or Halo 2 Br then I will be very happy.
