An Auto Rifle. A battle rifle that fires in a one shot burst. It is also automatic (hold down the trigger to fire multi times (like the CE pistol)

If you would like to know more about Mythic difficulty please go to this thread. Thank you.

Please do not send me "recruitment messages" as I'm not interested in joining any groups currently.

I prefer the Autmag as it has a better scope, doesn't fire in bursts yet is balanced in that it sucks against shields. If it became the primary headshot/support weapon in Reach, I'd be very happy.

I agree - what i found in Halo 3 was that I almost exclusively used the Battle Rifle in matchmaking and was always on the look out for them - which meant that other weapons were always neglected, which detracts from the fact that they can be more fun.

That would be awesome, except for the whole "multi times" thing. We need a gun thats semi-automatic and doesn't shoot in bursts.

Real men use magnums.

I'm up for almost anything different, as long as it doesn't function like the br. I really like how the automag was balanced out in that it has a scope and is awesome for headshots but sucks at shields.

A pistol is not a rifle.

Well, assuming by Auto-Mag, you mean the ODST pistol, I would prefer the Battle Rifle due to the fact that the Auto-Mag is rather weak. But I would prefer a M6D over both of them.

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

A single-shot BR! Otherwise known as an automag that has enough ammo to actually kill someone with shields!
