If you could make any change to the BR what would you change?
If I could, I would probably change the magazine size to 24 bullets. The reason for this is because the BR already does less damage per shot than the AR. If you gave the BR less bullets per mag, the AR and several other weapons would stand a better chance against it. Also ,on a side note, I would make the AR a bit more accurate. Let me know what you think.

I'd like to be half-man half-tree in an octopus' garden in the shade.

I'd give it slightly more range and slightly less power.

It fires fun-inducing water balloons. Or it has a disco cannon, which compels enemies to boogie on down.

I played an awesome Custom Edition mod where the BR had a small rocket launcher built into the side of it. That would be a kickass modification.

Personally, I think an actual "skilled" person in Halo 3 is someone who knows how to win with every weapon and combo in the game, not just a single weapon like the BR, Sniper, or even the AR. Of course, that excludes me, as I have yet to get a kill with dual plasma pistols. :D

Other. I'd make it single-shot. It would be like the Automag, but with a decent clip size, so you can actually kill shielded targets. Why? To make it more of a low-power long range gun [for use against snipers, turrets, unshielded people, etc.] instead of a highish-power every range gun [for use against everything].

I agree with you in the aspect that we need to let specific guns do there specific jobs, but i think that would be a little too much like the carbine. maybe if they raised the rate of fire on the carbine that would be a closer match to what your talking about plus, it could better combat a BR

I think the spread the Carbine already has is good enough at cementing it as a general purpose medium-ranged gun.

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.

I wish that it had a 12-round capacity and higher damage, and had cursor that was a cross between the magnum and AR cursor. And since there was no BR in Reach, it would obviously have to look different, like a whole new rifle.

Too soon?

So that's how you become a senior mythic member!

Are you suprised? Seniors are usually senile.

your probably right on the carbine

  • 11.06.2009 3:56 PM PDT

i hate many people, i am also like many of those people... that makes me a hypocrite
join the:
ninja acadame

remove scope, simple to implement in my opinion, it stops it being as effective at longer ranges due to not being able to see as clearly, makes the game harder for people like me... kill stealers

Good, bad, I'm the guy with the clichéd lines.

I think the Halo 3 BR is fine the way it is personally. If you want a single shot weapon use the carbine.

  • 11.06.2009 4:01 PM PDT

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

Want to hear a funny joke? Marijuana prohibition.

Single shot, same rate of fire as the Carbine, same bullet lag as the M6D and, same range as the M6D and 4 bullets to kill.

  • 11.06.2009 4:03 PM PDT

*Bobfather17*

make it 15-18 bullet kills, remove spread, make other weapons more suitable for medium range combat.

"Everything works itself out. The only thing that matters is whether you want it to or not."

Last Refuge - Operation Phoenix is in effect. From the ashes, we will rise.

I'd make it single shot, but also make it slightly weaker.

And though you fight to stay alive
Your body starts to shiver
For no mere mortal can resist
The evil of the thriller

I'd say either keep it the same way it is, but increase range, or make it 15 bullet (5shot) kill and still increase range. I would rather have other weapons become powerful than to have yet another useless gun. If it's single shot, it'll be too much like the carbine.

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

Reducing the fire rate slightly should be enough.

Punch a bear in the face.


If you don't know who I am, the feeling is mutual.

I think having a slower rate of fire would make it super duper balanced. It's still powerful, but not UBER.
