Ive been playing Halo since CE.
halo CE is the best halo made, then halo 3 then halo 2 (campaign sucked in halo 2, brutes were no fun to kill)
I want the BR just as it is, i have never read the book so i dont know whats so great about the AR, someone mind explaining it to me? Personally though i like the BR ever shooter has one gun that pros use.

Unreal Tournament it is the lightning gun, Gears its the shotgun/Sniper. Halo its the BR thats how it is i dont see any reason to take it out.

If you don't like players using the BR deal with it and if you don't have the ability to eliminate a player using a BR then you sir suck.

From the specs of the new Battle Rifle it seems MLG will be right at home for this Multipurpose weapon.

Wow, I can't tell if the OP is a fanboy, or a troll, or both......

Anyway, I didn't start with the o so preciouse halo ce, which means for the sake of this fanboy, I should get off the forums, and off halo..... Nope, I will not get off halo, and I will continue to interact in these forums so long as I have internet access!

The BR is an overated weapon that MLG fanboys use and it ruins the game the most I want a game thats halo CE not HAlO 3 or Halo 2 and the people who yell at me for not liking the BR you sir are unofficalplayer of halo. people who like the AR date back to the good old days with Ratrace, bloodgulch, sidewinder and if you dont know these maps.Also people who started from halo 3 and halo 2 get of halo get of the forums seriously.


wow lolztacular!


Umm ok. So me being a level 50 I bassically out BR everyone at a lower rank them me. I am not saying I am the best Halo player out there but I know my BR is pretty good.

There are some people who I absolutly destroy at the lower ranks. Where higher ranks I need to really bring out my straifing and aiming skills to pull off a win.

Putting the Sniper Rifle aside its the weapon with the largest skill gap in Halo 3. Since their is a gap its not n00by. If it was newbie then a Staff Captain would have an easy chance to out BR me but he doesnt. And I easily drop him.

People may not like the BR but to say it takes no skill is absurdly ridiculous

Oh one of the funnier things you said was like back in the Halo CE days...

Wow you guys must of had terrible M6D skills. That weapon was the ultimate R@pe of that game. It can kill a person in about 2.2 seconds with perfect shots.

If everything from halo CE came back a lot of people would be screaming in agony over the pistol instead of just the whinning we get over the BR now

  • 11.19.2009 3:25 PM PDT

If you don't like the BR just don't use it

  • 11.19.2009 3:26 PM PDT

I'm the cult of personality,
I call it like i see it, if i feel the need to be blunt and to the point, then i will, if i feel the need to be very detailed, i will, im here to stay and im here to do things my way, if you respect that or not is your choice, not mine,
and don't worry, while i don't agree with everyone's opinion, i do respect everyone's opinion.

you guys are really acting like a child for flaming him JUST because he does not like a weapon really guys really?

excuse me,but Correct me if i'mm wrong(which i am not).
The Battle Rifle was still in prototype stage at the time, so there won't be a "BR" as you guys call it.

The Battle Rifle was a prototype for 55 Years. Avery Johnson used it on Harvest and it was called still named to be a "Battle Rifle" and that took place before when Reach is speculated to take place.

Thank you, so by logic spartans would not carry them standard issue, so neither would marines therefore, if there was one the would be NO AMMO, i'd laugh so much at the hardcore "BR" players that finally found a "BR" and went Mental because there isn't any ammo. imagine that, He'd be all like, "YES finally a BR man, This is such a big deal.... WHAT THE -blam!-!!!!! NO AMMO COME ON REALLY?!??!1!1!!1" imagine listening to that in matchmaking, It'd be Hilarious!

The br can stay but it needs changes. If it stays I think it needs to not be so powerful at all ranges so it kills anythng. For example I have over 25,000 br kills in h3 because it destroys everything and if you dont use it you will get mauled. The game also needs another weapon(s) that can compete with the br at its range.


Are you kidding me have you even played this game

Carbine will actually beat a battle rifle in all ranges if you all shots to head... I no it might seem ridiculous, but it competes with the battle rifle even if you dont hit all head

No....its the other way around.

The BR is a Prototype at this point. So you would see Spartans (Especially Spartans) using a form of Battle Rifle that would fire 9.5mm FMJ rounds. It would also most likely have a smaller clip and fire at a slower rate then the current Halo 3.

oh okay, Thanks for clarifying that for me.

  • 11.19.2009 3:43 PM PDT

Persolaly I would prefer to remove the BR...
Or make it a single shot weapon like a carbine...

The question is, have you ever played this game?

When an opponent has shields, no matter where you shoot them, wether it is in the head, the chest, the foot or the god damn left hand pinkie finger you do the exact same amount of damage.

The only round you need to hit the head is the round the breaks the shields.

So the 8th carbine round (7th in MLG I think) or the 12th BR round (11th in MLG) or the first Sniper round.

Ok first off, I'm no big fan of the Battle Rifle, but face bungie won't take out a weapon 3/4 of the halo community love.

Second, learn some punctuation. I found it nigh impossible to read your post.

Like to play SWAT is my favorite! Usually on @ 7:00 PM -ish. (Western time) Currently I'm a 37 in SWAT. Metroids are awesome!
Oh... If you want to play SWAT send msg stating u want to play SWAT first then send the fr or msg. :)

Also starting to play...
Team snipers -> 10
Team doubles -> 30

I love the BR, if it wasn't in the game I wouldn't get reach, the thing is pure awesome. And it appears in almost every playlist, besides it's the second most important/common weapon right next to AR. I would have been sniper chow if the battle rifle didn't exist!

  • 11.19.2009 4:49 PM PDT

you cant be serious the AR is the worste gun in the game it requires no skill to just run around aimlessly holding the trigger down untill you get close enough to people so that you can melee them its just dumb. the BR gets people to play smarter moving around the map so that you can get the better shots off. just because its the best gun in the game doesnt mean you should remove it or lower its damage. It has improved the way players think and play making it more interesting to play

What I meant was they work great together, for example:

Weaken the enemy with the BR at mid distance, then finish them off with an AR.-Usually works.

Its not that I like flaming him but its really irritating at this point.

I wouldn't mind if he just thought it was overpowered. Or simply said I don't like weapons like that because I am not skilled at that range

But to flame the MLG community and call people fanboys is just ignorant. I can understand the people who arent fans of mlg or people who don't like the playlist. I can respect that difference of opinion

But to flame people who like the BR and then automatically associate people who like it for being "MLG fanboys".

Stereotyping for one makes you sound like a jack@ss and to me makes you sound like an ignoramous that can't put together a proper argument as to why you do not like something.

Secondly wether you like MLG or not people either ignore (for there own selfish wants) or are oblivous to the fact that it has helped Halo a whole lot.

Competative gamming has skyrocketed since the start of Halo 2. This has drawn a lot more fans to the game making Bungie even more powerful to fufil their dream of world domination.

If the MLG scene isnt for you play team slayer. Team BRs is much different from MLG setttings. In Halo CE they had Slayer Pro as a gametype AR and Pistol start.

That is why there is a team BR and its not related to MLG.

I guess most people would be happy with a Team Spam playlist... no scoped weapons only scattershot and full auto then maybe all people can be happpy. But for some reason I think that I would see that playlist die very quickly.

That would only be ok if they diversify mid range. Like adding a 4 shot M6G scoped magnum. And add maybe the Automag as its faster but much weaker cousin

Team BRs is actually a balanced gametype. But lets say we have one map with only one or 2 BRs. And the one team has control over both.

For lack of diversity this elevates the status of the BR making the team that doesnt control one at a disadvantage.

This isnt the BRs fault, it is the lack of midrange diversity. This is so made apparent on maps with lack of BRs. Make more mid range weapons and suddenly the BR wouldn't seem like the end all to be all. It would just be another good weapon

And it wouldnt feel like you would actually need a BR all the time. If we had a 4 shot scoped pistol then if I picked it up I wouldn't feel like I am at any disadvantage
