Subject: Burst Weapons Suck.

There is nothing wrong with Halo:Reach. We all just have our gripes about everything we don't like. Not liking something doesn't make it broken.

Burst weapons suck!?!

My AR2 War Stomper in Borderlands claim otherwise.

Seriously, I have to agree with you on this one, weapons like the BR in the Halo sanbox tend to overshadow half the weapons available.


MY AR34 Genocide Cobra thinsk YOUR AR2 War Stomper is small time.

I am packing 164 in 3 round burst with 96.7 accuracy and 15.0 fire rate.

I even have a 2x scope and a 2.3 second reload. Not to mention the 30+% Fire rate and Accuracy boost from my profession married with the 75% recoil reduction and 30% accuracy after EVERY kill.

If my Genocide Cobra was in Halo 3, I would be able to take on entire teams by myself blindfolded carrying a sleeping infant AND the baby wouldn't wake up.

Eat it.

The BR's burst fire and power isn't the problem in my eyes. It's just the oversized clip, large amount of ammo that you can carry, and it's way too common.

Lower down the ammo and put only one or two on a map, that's all I say.

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.

God, enough of these "____ is overpowered because I got an easy kill with it/someone got an easy kill on me with it/I got owned repeatedly with it because I didn't spawn with it and got spawn camped" threads. Weapon balance is fine. Notice the BR runs out of ammo incredibly fast, and is the 3rd-slowest killing weapon in the game? (disregarding dual-wielding for magnum and including splaser charge time) Just because it works at a variety of ranges doesn't mean it excels at any of them.

If the BR is included it should take 18 or more bullets to kill (6 full bursts), lose its spread, and be much more rare so that it soley serves to keep some pressure at mid-longe range. Then make something like the CE pistol the "standard" weapond and make other weapons like duals stronger and more optimized for medium range.
