Subject: If you claim to use the BR because it takes skill...

Then why not use the Carbine instead? It can kill someone faster than the BR, but actually has to be aimed.

I use the BR because if i don't, then someone who does have one will kill me almost everytime.

I honestly agree that the carbine is my fav but it takes skill to use both of them

Skill to use a self-aiming weapon that kills in four shots at any range?

Not so much that it takes skill, as everything in halo 3 a downs child could do, but skill gap, which means there's a bigger spectrum of ability with the weapon.

I may be short, but my heart is tall.

I don't use the BR because "it takes skill". I use it because it's the best gun to use in most of the situations in Halo 3. I actually do prefer the carbine, but I rarely use it because you don't spawn with it, and there are generally only a few on the map, so you have to go out of your way to get them :/

The Carbine sucks. It's only half-decent at close to medium range, but it absolutely fails at medium-range. Why? Because the shots don't go to the middle of the reticle. They usually end up around the center of it, which causes you to miss headshots. It's a step down from the BR, but it definitely is better than not having an entry-level mid-range weapon as your secondary.

And someone show me proof that it can kill faster than a BR. I dare you. Video evidence please, and perhaps even charts would do.

right just jaunt over to the carbine on the pit, narrows, avalanche,vahala,ad the other maps with no carbine.

  • 08.17.2010 11:12 PM PDT

carbine isnt in every map...brs are everywhere usually, but I do prefer to use the carbine when I can

  • 08.17.2010 11:16 PM PDT

This would be fine... if it weren't for the fact that they have exactly the same level of aim magnetism. No body claims to use the BR because it is the most skilled weapon (because it isn't, the sniper is), people use it for a few reasons:
a) Best weapon in the game. Hands down.
b) It is consistent compared to the AR
c) Not really a reason but: it looks cool (IMO)

I like the Carbine and the Assault Rifle much more than the BR, I don't care if skill is required or not.....

Not the best proof, but it's proof. The carbine kills faster, if you can aim with it.

  • 08.18.2010 12:41 AM PDT

Feel free to message me about anything!

Only reason I use the BR is because if someone else has it, they'll kill me with it, leaving me to try and Beat them down, again and again.

Ima just keep my mouth shut ahahahahaha

I'm not 100% about normal settings, but in MLG carbine kills faster (7 shots compared to BR's four and they come out quicker). The reason people use the BR isn't because it takes skill, it's cos it's the best weapon in the game after rockets.

  • 08.18.2010 1:26 AM PDT

If we were winning, we could be winning.

I use it because I'm better with it than any other weapon.

Pretty much this, couldn't have put it better myself.

I can't start with the Carbine, and I'm not going to drop a BR for one simply because BR ammo is much easier to come by.

In an ARs game on, say, Guardian, I won't think twice before picking up a carbine.

That's not even valid proof at all.

Having two players have a shoot-off is a terrible example, because there are way too many variables like reaction time. Maybe the carbine guy shot first?

A true test would have two spawn points per map, so the distance is consistent, then have one person kill an AFK person, and have the kill time recorded with both weapons so we can see which is truly faster.

do this with both weapons, and you may have a viable test.

better to be p!ssed off than to be p!ssed on!

bottom line is.. this game has been out for so long i cant believe anyone is even still having these conversations. yawn

All weapons take skill. It doesn't matter what they are. For example : The BR get an easy kill at medium range, the AR gets an easy kill at close range, while the Sniper and Spartan Laser get an easy kill at long range.

But if your playing the game just to make yourself "look MLG" because you use a BR, then there is no point to use a carbine, because you "look MLG". I personally prefer the BR over the AR, since I have used it in all my custom games that I have ever played, but if there is a carbine in front of me, I will gladly get a spree with it.
