Subject: The BR and its 3-shot

there's been alot of complaint on the REACH forums between people who like the three-shot BR, and people who want it to be one-shot.

is there some reason why we can't possibly have a two-shot BR?
discuss the possibility of a two-shot.

Two rapid semi-automatic shots is the same thing as a double-tap BR.

3-round Burst puts more lead on target, meaning a faster kill.

I dont think i can say which i prefer until ive played Reach. I love the 3 shot BR but that doesnt mean i wont love a one shot BR.

  • 11.06.2009 9:24 AM PDT

The internet is a bad place.

How about a 12 shot burst?
MLG would go crazy.

Want to hear a funny joke? Marijuana prohibition.

A 2 shot burst? Really?

The reason why making the gun a single shot weapon would be a good idea is because the BR was meant to replace the Pistol from Halo CE. However, the gun being a burst fire weapon made it so instead of properly leading your shot to land on your opponent's head, you could just sweep your crosshairs in the general direction of his head which made the weapon much less skillful to use.

Keeping the gun at any kind of burst will not fix this problem.

I wish that somehow they could make the BR like an M16 where you change the settings for the firing of the gun like a 3 shot burst, single shot, or full auto.

I believe certain models of the UMP and MP5 sub-machine guns can.

In any case, it's the future. Is there a reason to believe it's impossible? After all, current assault rifles can fire three shot bursts.

  • 11.06.2009 9:40 AM PDT

I'm not entirely sure but I think the MP5-K has a two burst function.

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

I say leave the BR, weaken it to a 6 shot kill, weaken the Carbine to a 10 shot kill, and increase the Carbine's clip size by 4 or 6.

  • 11.06.2009 9:46 AM PDT

It's possible, but I'd like to see a weapons with two (auto, single) or sometimes three (auto, single, burst) firing possibilities.

They may come up with something creative if there is a BR.

I really hope that Bungie does the usual and makes rapid fire controllers useless, or we'll be seeing that...
Im sure they will though, theyre a clever group.

Ugh...

First on a BWU.. yeah, I'm cool.

If the BR is a single shot weapon, and if rumours that it has a clip of only 12 bullets are true, I say let it be a 4 shot weapon. Why? 3 kills per clip if you are good.

The last time I tried to make a quote, a car smashed through my wall and the tire hit my grandmother in the other room. But for those of you who can haz once more between five, I say it will be five between seven divided by zero multiplied by Chick Norass and Broce Tee.

Do you even know what the real term for a "double tap" is?
It is two consecutive shots in the same general area used to cause more tissue damage. It's not what CoD4 makes it out to be.

Yay for making wounds harder to heal!

I make a legitimate thread on the most logical choice for the next Bond actor, and you take that away from me by creating a parody thread indirectly connecting my thread to yours.

I hope your kids have bad influences and develop bad personalities. I wish this with all my heart.

Well, you know, it hints that it may have a [REDACTED]-round burst.
