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

From Cyro to Meta

Doesnt matter. This thread is about the CARBINE. People just choose to talk about the BR in here.

I saw that you were stealthed,so I decided to act like I didnt see you and just shoot that fusion coil you were trying to hide behind.

Becuase the BR beats the carbine...its a fact

the carbine does more damage than the br per shot however thr br is more consistent yet each bullet does like 6 damage to shields but a full burst does 18 and its very accurate the carbine per shot does 10 damage to shields i think shields are equal to like 55 health and health without the shield equals 5

the carbine has the ability to kill faster but it might not because the the bullet spread is too random furthermore the carbine is suited to close-mid range and close range

What?! Your whole post is completely off. First of all, the Carbine does less damage than the BR, effectively destroying whatever you were trying to ramble on about. Second, the BRs spread is relatively consistent at medium-range. It's only truly random at long-ranges. Third, the Carbine is only inaccurate when fired off quickly, thus defeating its purpose when going head to head with a BR-user.

Thereby, the BR is the clear winner in this. It just trumps the Carbine in literally everything except for maybe extreme close range battles, and even then, the BR can melee and go for a headshot.

I play the game to have fun. I'm not here to impress anyone.
I consider myself a average player. I have good days, and bad days.

http://www.youtube.com/user/ElectrricProductions This is my youtube account for Halo 3 video's. Its not much, but its fun for us to make.

Remember. . . . ITS JUST A GAME!!!!

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

your right the beam rifle does trump the carbine in alot of ways

did you not read the entire post? i did say the br does more damage in on burst than the carbine does in one shot and the br's spread is not random its a perfect triangle that is always the same carbine however used effectively aka not spamming will outgun the br also the carbine can also melee then headshot it is not a weapon specific feature

The spread was random in Halo 3, it was only a perfect triangle in Halo 2.

Why are people so serious anti- or pro- BR, just a weapon and a spread... it's almost over too

br takes skill. it just does. i am better than somone with it i kill them, they are better than me i die. that is the skill of the player not the spread or anything like that. yes one might get the drop on the other but over a career of play you can tell who is and isnt good with the br. and as far as the carbine goes i love it :) but its never a start wepon and is almost never on a map so its not gettin much love from me.

If I have an AR, I'll pick up a Carbine. But I'd rather use the BR. This is just because I don't like having to -blam!- my trigger for every kill. I'd rather pull it 4-6 times and get a kill. I have no idea which weapon is more effective, but that's just my preference.

Really? Did you really just make this thread?



It's a starting weapon, and it's way more consistent.

There, you didn't really have to ask this, did you?

i can totally understand that. i just love the carbine, always have but br is a close second and i still think it takes skill to use either.

Carbine is a 8 shot kill. BR is 4. Do the math.
