Subject: BR Virgin

So it's coming up on the three year aniversery of Halo 3. I've played since the beginning, 9/25/07, and I've never actually gotten a kill with the BR. It began with a bet to see how long I could go without using it. I won my $10, but by then I had gotten so used to not using it, I figured why not keep it going? So here it is, almost three years later, and I still haven't used it. Don't believe me? check it out yourself: http://www.bungie.net/stats/halo3/careerstats.aspx?player=STI G 997

And before anyone says "Wow, what a fail, you must suck at Halo, the BR is so pro, you suck if you don't use it" Well, I feel like I've done pretty well, I'm not a General or Brig or anything, but I do pretty well. And don't you think it takes a lot more skill NOT to use it than to use it? So I hope you don't just turn this into a flame war, I just wanted to let people know about what I feel like is a pretty cool record, and see what you all think.

Edit: please don't lock this, it's not meant to be a discussion of BR vs. AR, just about my record

Second Edit: Seems like some people are assuming that because of this, I must be an AR spraying noob, that's not the case. I don't know how to convince you of that, but why do you think I must spray just because I don't use the BR? I use the AR the same way you do, controlled bursts, that's the only way to make it effective. I'm not saying the AR is better or even that the BR is bad, just that I haven't used it.

Wow.

Add me if you're a serious MLG player.

That has got to be the dumbest thing I've ever heard. It's like neglecting to use a glove while playing baseball.

I got to 37 without using it, I hated the thing. Then one day, I don't know what happened and I can't get along without it. If you want to keep your streak, never touch it, it will possess you and force you to become one with it.

Tank beats everything!

Visit my youtube channel for Vehicular awesomeness!

I applaud you.

And yet when somebody free-hands the ball it's totally badass

I don't see how risk of physical injury can compare to video game skill, but I see what you're saying.

Only if the force at first is made.

Try fielding a hard-hit ground ball without a glove.

Try play competitive Halo without a BR.

I think my analogy is perfect, thank you.

Not really, one is a necessity. Now if you had said trying to play Halo without a controller, I would totally agree with you.

To answer your question I don't think it takes any skill not to use a certain weapon. If anything it is saying that you are an idiot for not using all that a game has in order to make yourself the best that you can be. I will say it is impressive that you would give yourself a handicap and not use the main weapon of Halo 3, but it would have been more impressive to not use a BR in Halo 2 because it isn't hard to use an AR over a BR in Halo 3.

Condoms.

At least I'm going into battle protected. Haha


Yea, the last thing you want is are some elites strapped your your back while a grunt massages your nuts unprotected.

But it's not impossible to play Baseball without a glove, where as it is impossible to play Halo without a controller. His analogy was just fine.

Why Must the Host Win? That is the question.

What's the point of a video game? to challange and entertain. All I've done is increase the difficulty.

  • 08.24.2010 9:56 PM PDT

Ive never seen that before.

I can't confirm this, but it's fairly likely I'm the only one.
It may very well be a world record.
