Subject: Balanced M6D vs Current BR- Which would you chose for reach

Its a trap!!!

3 Shot M6D like H1. Instead of having unbalanced weapons and trying to balance one like in H3, we can just balance them all like in Halo 1.


I gaurantee you people would cry 10 times harder if the game had Halo CEs balance. It would make the BR haters want the BR back so badly. The M6D is too amayzing for words

How about you balance the M6D, then give it a rifle skin so that it makes sense?

i'm pretty sure the M6D is just D.Eagle and all the other pistols are just different pistols [like automag is obviously USP, halo 3 pistol is colt 1911, halo 2 pistol is berretta] basically D.Eagle is nice yes, but i prefer rifles anyway... and don't say stuff like "they look nothing like those guns" good observation, jackass, obviously because bungie don't have licences to have the actual guns in the game, so they designed their own ones, and i actually prefer automag because it is awesome

The weapons were not balanced at all in CE. The only weapons anyone used in competitive play were the pistol, rockets, and sniper (MAYBE the shotgun once in a blue moon).

Find me an MLG video of CE, with StK or TDT or any of those top clans, where someone uses a weapon besides the pistol, rockets or sniper to get a kill. You'll be hard pressed to find any.

Whichever fits the balance of the other weapons the best.

Theres going to be a medium range weapon regardless. Who cares what exactly it is? A pistol? A rifle? Doesn't really matter to me.
THIS. You BR haters are will just have to deal with it as well. It may not be the Halo3 BR but I can't imagine a Halo weapon sandbox with out some sort of medium ranged weapon.

I feel dumber after reading this post. I can't help myself, I have to respond.

What exactly is your basis for comparison, since you just admitted they don't look anything like those weapons?

You're just arbitrarily assigning real-life weapon names to the Halo pistols, lol.

I personally loved the M6D but I think a lot of people found it strange that the Marines were wielding these useless MA5Bs and the non-combat techs were wielding the M6D beast death cannons.

I'd love to have both a BR and a very similar M6D weapon. They don't even have to be on the same campaign levels or multiplayer maps. Map-A could be a BR map, Map-B could be a Pistol map, just like certain maps in H3 were Sniper or Beam.

well, to be honest you are right, but I was just making assumptions based on what I have witnessed when playing the games. i was stuck with H3 and H2 pistols anyway so i just picked some random rubbish pistols haha

Group invites will be treated very poorly because the Care Package is empty.

I don't really give a -blam!-, as long as neither are burst weapons. Point is, burst weapons can go shoot themselves and jump into a bottomless pit while caught on fire.

Clearly because the desktop uses a 3 prong plug and a laptop uses a 2 prong plug, the microwave will fill your car with tostitos better

Both is better as long as they are near equal in minimum kill speeds. The battle rifle should be the more effective weapon and have a slightly faster kill speed, but we need to have more mid range weapons that can challenge the BR at mid range, there just aren't enough.

Both, but I would have the M6D be slightly different than what you said.

its highly illogical for something that does a lot of damage from far away to be weak in close range. As an object is shot through the air it is eventually stopped by friction and the power would decrees.


did you get this backwards? or are you saying a Long range weapon like the M6D should be ineffective in CQC.

Posted by: Madara Umezawa
If anything up close should be the most powerful for any gun


are you talking about the M6 because thats what i mean by a damage fall off mechanic is it gets weaker the farther is goes.

  • 11.10.2009 4:00 PM PDT

How to spell "space"?

S-P-ACE! SPACE!

The BR would still be stronger.

NEITHER

Just remove the BR, and give the M6G a scope.

that's what the BR55 was supposed to be. but Bungie decided it should be an effective assault rifle instead.

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

Neither. Bring back the M6D identical in ALL aspects, except as a 5SK instead of a 3SK... and re-skin it as the Battle Rifle.
