read this quote form a guy who actually plaed halo 2 by winning the mountain dew contest...

"Battle Rifle - Found a few places in the wall, and I think on the second level of the base. Three shot burst owns. No recoil, minimal spread on the shots, and 3 three shot bursts will lay an opponent out"

pay attention when he said " and 3 three shot bursts will lay an opponennt out"
does this mean it only took him three shoots to kill an oppnent when using the battle rifle?
MAN i hope not, i don't want the BF to turn into the old pistol where you could kill someone with 3 shoots

The problem with the pistol is that no other gun could counter it..In Halo 2 all guns will own

first off, the Battle Rifle is said to be not as powerful as the pistol is in Halo 2.

2. The pisal wasn't perfect, it just had way to many possitive factors and not enough negatives like other weapons, which made it too well rounded....

3 shot burst is an option on a gun so that you use less ammo by firring in 3 shot burst instead of full auto

Haha, the battle rifle will take the place of the pistol and I am glad. The pistol was the best in Halo, but the battle rifle will be better. It makes a better noise when fired, and has the 3 shot burst. That should instantly kill anything in three quick head shots. That is if it is aimed at the persons or tihngs head.

Exactly, Thank you for pointing that out. This is Halo 2 for crying out loud not Halo 1.

Its said it took 6 shots to take someone out. but for the E3 build theres no health only shield, so it could be 6 in the foot, or 6 in the head. i hope theres head shots in the final verion though.

I'll be on my own side.

i dont know why all of you are so certain that the pistol wont be back. do you work at Bungie?? no. and what FPS have you played that didnt have a pistol??

the pistol is suppose to be back but with out the scope and its suppose to be toned down a bit. something i disagree with considerably. I mean come on people, who ever disagrees with this, is the people who probably suk at halo and gets murdered by the pistol all the time. Believe or not there is a counter to the scoped weapons and a really simple counter, its called scoped weapons. And if your not good with the pistol then again your not good at halo. Just think what if there wasnt pistols or snipers. The tank people would rule the game. They will dodge the snail moving rockets and slaught the opposing force. With a well place shot with the sniper the tank will be down. With all do respect it does take a master to kill a moving tank with a sniper rifle. If your not a sniper well then u better have a sniper on ur team.

That's not exactly true. Who have you been playing that can't kill with the pistol? A five year old? I play halo with my dad on Xboxconnect, and people use the pistol all the time, and CAN difficult to take out, but we use the pistol too, and kick there ass, lol (clan people -blam!- too much when they lose). Also, I use the pistol more than any other weapon and I don't even use the scope that often, since it usually gets taken out anyway once you get hit, and you can see a wider area with it off, but I still get kills from across hang em' high, with no trouble at all, so i don't mind if it's gone. About the pistol coming back but without the scope, etc. I haven't seen this on anything remotely official, where did you get this from? And, didn't the guy on that site (halo.bungie.org) say it takes about 10 shots to kill someone with the battle rifle?

P.S. my dad is WAY better than i am, so is his brother, Xboxconnext tage: PureMadness

the battle rifle probably wil not be as strong as the pistol but i bet it will be just as effective... in my oppinion the battle rifle is doing rifles in general justice, the Halo 1 rifle was a joke... in my eyes rifles are more of a primary weapon and pistols are more like secondary weapons, ya know, last resorts. but i used the pistol like 5x-10x more than i used the rifle due to the rifle totally sucking... but i do hope the battle rifle has a full auto option because i rather shoot a full auto gun in bursts that have the 3 round burst restriction to fire rate...

Woah woah woah. The Battle Rifle can be set to three round bursts OR full auto? Or did I misunderstand something?
