Halo 3 is a great in my opinion


LAN Halo 1 and 2. You will change your opinion
I have played all the Halo games and I love then all but it is Halo 3 that I love the most

You played ELEVEN GAMES of Halo 2, this is the difference between someone who was a fan from the beginning, and someone who was just a fan of Halo 3.

I played 3 years worth of Halo CE BEFORE Halo 2 came out, and I played that until Halo 3's release. I can safely say Halo 3 is the least fun of the three.


your right Halo 1 is in my opinion the best so far if BNG updated the graphics the game would be alot better but for its time 12/10

See you on the battlefield.

What if by removing the burst, they tripled the damage each round does? That way, there would be no noticeable difference, and the MLGs would still have their beloved 4-shot.

I am indefferent right now because this game takes place before Halo CE so if they even keep any of the wepons in Halo 2/3/ODST I will be kind of upset


Bungie has explained multiple times that most of the weapons you see in 2/3/ODST existed before Halo CE, you just didn't see them in it, because for whatever reason the pillar of autumn wasn't stocked with them.


yea and we also never ran into them in the ENTIRE game but oh well its just a game

The Covenant need a mid range gun for campaign

They didn't have one in Halo: CE. Why do they need one in Reach? Hell the Covenant didn't even have a long range weapon in Halo CE and they were still difficult to fight.

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.

Go on Halo 3 and try to get a consistent head shot with the carbine. Since the Halo 3 Beta that has been an impossibility and even if you were able to the gun is so weak compared to the BR anyways it is pointless.

For those saying the carbine is a "skillful" weapon, it really isn't since it actually has spread. I have tried countless times to use the Carbine over the BR and been rewarded with miss after miss when my reticule has been directly on my opponent. The gun fires so fast because it is so likely to miss that you NEED to fire that many rounds in order to kill someone. This is the exact opposite effect I got with the pistol, where I felt more likely to hit by shooting slower and not faster. It doesn't help that the gun is weak on top of that.

Funny thing about that, is if Halo CE had more time to be developed, they would have had a Gravity Rifle. (Early Beam Rifle)

As for mid range covie weapons, the Plasma Rifle and Plasma pistol actually worked well as a mid ranged weapons in Halo CE, not as powerful as the M6D, but still very usable.

I'd like if it shot one actual projectile, but it looked like three. The sound of the three shots zooming out of your rifle was just awesome. I'd hate to see them take it away.

Halo CE had plenty of development time, seeing as it had been being developed for many years and went through several genre changes at that. I think the reason for lack of a significant number of weapons in Halo CE was not time, but balance. Bungie wanted a solid game and so did Microsoft, so that is what Bungie did. Without all the bells and wistles and ricketa racketa.

SPARTAN TRAP
asking for mods is not a smart idea.
no bumping.

what is your next game going to be Bungie?

Posted by: ANKLE5
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?


One thing that is weird in the Halo 2 trailer the BR does NOT have a three round burst, and I wondered why they didn't do that in the game, but I do like the three round burst.

dude...just shut up -_-

youre just a typical halo 3 BR lover. change is a good thing you tool. making the BR into a single shot would make it so the BR requires a lot more "skill" to use (i hope to add a lot of recoil to the gun too to make it even harder to master). currently in halo 3 the BR has an extremely overpowered head shot ability. it only takes 1 of the 3 bullets to kill you when you have no shields. my theory on bungie's reason for doing that design was latency issues. but from what they were saying in the weekly update about play testing, it looks like they are doing an even better job with the problem in halo reach.

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

It is the Halo 1 Pistol, 12 rounds 4 head shots to kill. Now lets hope it doesn't have much auto aim as Halo 2 & 3, and the 60 round AR returns to make the fight interesting.

It has to be single shot because that's how it was during Reach (if it'll even be in the game).

im one second from taking this to the next level.

I'd miss the burst too, but I am very excited to see something fresh for the weapons, so I'm for it until further notice.

Wow, you have absolutely no evidence to back that up. It could be 12 headshots to kill for all we know.

In reality, I bet it will be 5-6 headshots. A single shot BR would be able to pump out 4 rounds in the time it takes a 3RB BR to shoot one, maybe two bursts. that would be stupid overpowered.

  • 11.06.2009 11:49 AM PDT

ive got a bullet with your name on it but i accidently used it on justin bieber

for the love of god please remove the br completely

  • 11.06.2009 11:52 AM PDT

Bring Forth; the Banhammer

Where's my Mythic Member Status Bungie, eh?

Halo 3 nub, you'd be happy that we have a scoped semi-auto gun like the Halo 1 Pistol.

We'll thats what "Tom Morello" (the guy who leaked the photos). said.
I kind of agree that it should be 5-6 headshots to kill.

He said it had a 12 round clip, and was pretty powerful... he never mentioned a 4 shot kill, and he never played versus multiplayer.

You can't kill what's dead.

Stand. Fight. Resist. S2F.

The single shot is supposedly much more accurate and equally powerful.

I'm not complaining.

I would take a Carbine over a BR any day

Someone likes to lose a lot.
The Carbine is better


Rarely.

The carbine has a major flaw vs a BR. The BR will fire in the same place if you dont move your reticule.

The Carbine seems to fire randomly off every other bullet even if you arent moving your reticule. It greatly effects your accuracy especially over longer distances

To respond to the rest of the forum I am a bit disapointed. I will probably like this BR better but I wanted to see the M6D come back as a 4 shotter and have the BR in the game along side it. But it seems that they are just creating a M6D like rifle

but its realt early beta for the game and anything can change. Even the laser changed a bit from h3 beta as you could jerk the reticule and spread the beam to multiple targets

They would probably never do that... only because the two weapons would server the exact same purpose and perform too similarly. It would just clog up the weapon sandbox.

The BR and the Pistol are VERY different weapons

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

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

So, you're saying that the only reason you play Halo is because of this 'BR'?

Wow...

=)

1.Arkham Asylum, 2.Mass Effect, 3.Halo CE, 4.Mass Effect 2, 5.Halo 2, 6.Splinter Cell Double Agent, 7.Gears of War 2, 8.Medievil, 9.Oblivion, 10.Crash Team Racing

Maybe they would make Carbine 3 shot burst then?

I'd still prefer Carbine
