I have noticed One flaw in halo: the assault rifle. about now, a couple of you may be howling out in detest. But wait just a sec. I have noticed it has become common for players to just to shoot the AR a bit at someone, beat them down, and hope for the best. for this, It's rather pointless, and takes the strategy and skill out. I don't care if it needs precise timing as skill, the AR has gotta go.

This sounds like a clever coverup for someone who is whining about getting owned by the AR too much.

no, it's just boring and needs to go away. the BR is strategic, cuz it can head shot. it's an awesome weapon.

Thank you sir, that was an epic rendition of this topic.

and how!

How about we take out all the noobs that can't learn to use multiple weapons and continue with a larger weapon sandbox instead of having a single weapon that is the ace of all trades?

  • 11.07.2009 3:32 PM PDT

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

Maybe they could increase the range to somewhere between the current AR and the Silenced SMG, so there would be less beatdowns.

Your in Bad Company.

The assault rifle takes more skill then your favorite gun..the BR.

BR is simple, easy logic - 4shots, (with the last shot to the head) there dead.

AR is a bit more complicated. You have to time how long it will take, and how close you need to be for there shields to get down low enough to beat down. Too short, or too long most likely means you are dead. Also, the AR is great for taking down someones shields then switching to a BR. (takes a lot of skill to time this right) And finally, you can just spray at close range, but you must make sure that your clip size is large enough to take the enemy down, because if you have to re-load you will probably die.

Keepin' my ammo dry and my eyes on the target.

no it was in the original halo and I think it deserves the right to stay. Plus, that would also be like taking the Covenant out too.

@Desolater: Why don't you go to MLG Anaheim right now then, if the BR is so easy i'm sure you could out BR every pro. Good Luck!

There are much more aspects that make the BR a weapon that takes more skill.


But OT: Keep the AR, the weapon works how it is supposed to. figure a way to beat it, outsmart the other player, it's not hard.

  • 11.07.2009 3:42 PM PDT

Every shooter has to have:

Shotgun- Close range

Assault Rifle- Medium range

Sniper Rifle- Longe range

Without an AR, Reach would not be a sucsessful shooter. I say keep the AR but tweak it a little bit.

I can out AR most of them. I'm not saying that everyone is good with a BR just the components of the BR are easy to understand. 4 shots, last shot to the head. How much harder can it get?

btw, MLG is mostly who sees the other player first, not much to do with skill.
(I've never liked MLG so I'm biased)

I think that was the point he was trying to make, that they are really good with the BR prodigy...and that it was pretty much all they used.

The BR does take more skill to use skillfully, but it doesn't take much skill to use it in general.

I'm not trying to start a fight for the record.

  • 11.07.2009 3:47 PM PDT

The AR takes less skill to use still even if were speaking generally


EDIT: You'd be surprised how good they are with the AR

you can do this with any gun, the AR is just the starting weapon

Agreed. Plus, his own poll is owning him.

You pretty much just summed-up the brilliance of halo.

AR just needs to be tweaked to having a longer range and make it sound awesome with a punch of ruble int he controller, as for your comment to the BR i disagree(I own with the br) dont get me wrong its a great weapon but its overated, and it takes away the usage of other weapons, im glad to see in reach that it might be 1 shot

That's like saying "Take out the SMG, Laser, Needler, Spiker, Mauler, Shotgun, Rockets, Sentinel Beam, All Equipment, Plasma Pistol, Plasma Rifle, Turrets, Grenades, Sword, All Vehicles, Gravity Hammer, and Brute Shot, because you can't get a headshot with it!"

Try a real argument next time.
