I know there are subjects on this, but i wanted to follow the crowd...
So obviously alot of people say the BR is overpowered because you can get a 4 shot with it and kill someone, they want the Halo: CE pistol back. I liked that pistol but there is something they seem to be forgetting.
-Halo:CE Pistol was MUCH stronger then the current BR.
-The Pistol was toned down in Halo 2 when they added in the BR to replace it's role, it was still strong, but not as strong as the CE pistol.
-After this they then toned the BR down again, and added in a bigger spread, making it harder to get a 4 shot. Yet every BR hater still says they can 4shot easily.
Now, that's just some history behind the current BR, and how people basicly want the overpowered design of H alo 1 instead of a good current design. But, here are some "reasons" people use to try and validate the point of the BR being over powered.
-It is good at all ranges, you can kill someone from across map and right in your face easily.
-You can 4shot so easy, whoever gets the first shot wins.
-ZOMG MLG FANBOYZ USE IT!
1. By this logic, the sniper, rockets, carbine, and greandes are over powered. All can be used at any range well, some better then others. You ofcoarse know how to use the weapon to be able to use it at certain ranges, IE long range sniping and no scoping, cross map carbining, throw grenades at a certain curve, and long range BRing.
2. Most MLG pros don't get consistant 4shots, it is possible but its hard, you have to have good aim to get that final head shot, hence why the head is such a small area, it makes it harder to get a 4 shot. Most people get 5-7shots.
3.Even if there was no MLG, the BR would still be a favorite of alot of players. Like it or not its a good weapon, it gives a fair chance for a player to kill someone at a long range, which is a weapon we need when trying to take down a sniper.
With that said, it's time to burst BR Haters bubbles.
The carbine is actually better then the BR believe it or not. It can kill someone faster and since it only shoots 1 shot at a time, it does not waste bullets like the BR does.
How come no one ever talks about this? Because most players perfer UNSC weapons to covenant weapons, they never notice how the Carbine is better cause they don't use it. If your gonna call the BR over powered, then the carbine automatically has to be over powered.
Too many want a pistol that works like a rifle, they are willing to trade a rifle that works like a rifle for it. (If you quote that part I'll love you forever.)
Basicly what i'm saying is the BR fills it's role, it does what it should do, MOST people don't like it cause they aren't good with it, got beat by someone who was, or just suck at aiming. If you call the BR over powered, you calling a couple of weapons over powered.
Disclaimer- I don't care what your service record says. it's not a valid excuse against you being bad with a BR. This is just to show how people want an Overpowered weapon, because they think a weapon that is weaker then it is over powered. Post your thoughts, your disagreements, whatever. Just don't try to act high and mighty.
