The battle rifle used as a replacement to the assult rifle and it stole the scope from the pistol but i have noticed that there are problems with it that gamers like me would be annoyed with such as the three round bursts i think that the burst fire is a bad idea burst is only good if the burst can kill something. we already know about 1-2 shots can kill a grunt but what could the burst roung kill maybe a new weaker type of flood or a new weaker covenant or a brute without a helmet who knows so place your complants with the rifle or what you think its should be adapt at killing because if it could kill something with the bursts that are fairly decent to kill then it would be much better

I thought the burst does the same damage... only it fires three bullets real fast... that means 3x the damage in the same time you could shoot once zoomed... the burst would be very useful.

Note: The BR is not has powerful as the pistol, it holds way more ammo, and that would be cheap if it was super powerful, therefore the burst is not cheap.

if u look at the BR's barrel ..how can it have burst...the round would all go straight....but i think they should take out the pistol and use a semi automatic BR instead...no sleezy burst shots...thats why we have a shotgun!

the pistol has been toned down for the arrival of the battle rifle and the pistol has no scope but the problem i have is the pause between shots so one two three pause one two three when a fully automatic weapon could do the same or more damage in that time but if it could kill something with three shots it would be better against that then if you used a automatic weapon on it

Actually I think you could shoot almost as fast as if it was automatic (if not faster)... the 3 rounds get pumped out really fast (almost instantly) and it keeps your firing accurate, therefore I think the burst is awesome.

Nooooo Die burst.
Any way, think about it if 1 head shot is all that is needed to kill a grunt and there are 20 or so in a room and you have now grenades why waist your time and ammo and risk getting naded' if you could just pop of twenty shots to their head in single shot, while in burst you would have to fire 3 at each grunt and would likely have to reload and it would take more time, i say if ya want a rapid fire weapon use the SMG and let the battle rifle alone to be a semi auto

why won't anyone listen to my problem with it the burst isn't neccisarily bad just the pause between the burst is bad cause if you are battleing an elite with an automatic weapon or a semi like the pistol the elite can not fire back because of the constant fire but with a burst the pause can allow it to move and fire

if you hit the trigger really fast, the burst sounds and looks like full auto, bungie will tweak it out dont worry. most people will use it zoomed anyway kinda like the pistol

ive watched the H2 E3 demo the time distance between bursts is about (.3) seconds you have to be damn fast to shoot sum 1 in bitween that time

I was just copying the other blokes version of burst. plus i reckon when u shoot burst its better than full auto as when u fire burst your aim stays on the target better, and elites still shoot at you wether your shooting them or not so..............
And i hate to break this to you desvolscath but there is a pause between pistol shots.
