Subject: BR Virgin

Somebody showed me the Scarab Gun in Halo 2 once.
I was like WHOA DUDE, WHOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAA
Then I sorta blanked out in a red haze and when I came to, everyone was dead.

That's pretty impressive. I would have accidentally offed someone with a Battle Rifle before getting that many kills.

I avoid games with BR only starts (MLG, SWAT, etc) and I take my finger off the trigger if it's my only option, I don't think I've really even fired it except just a few accidents, but I only ever accidently hit a person once, luckily it wasn't a kill.

Wow, good job man. Thats definitely an achievement in this game.

thanks everybody, I'm really proud of my record and it's awesome to see that most of you think it's pretty cool too.

i dont think you understand. you see, it harder to get kills with a BR than most other weapons, although the BR is effective, you still must land headshots to execute a good kill. BUT using other weapons such as the assault rifle you can just spray and pray. so saying that you got to where you are without using a BR means you got to where you are by using weapons that are easy to use, and in most cases, overpowered.

I really don't want this to become a flame war, but I completely disagree. The BR works in almost any situation. It works at close, medium and long range. It is the most versitile and one of the most effective weapons in the game. I agree that spraying the AR takes very little skill, at the same time, if you do that, the guy with the BR will pop you and take you out every time. Using controlled bursts with the AR is the only way to use it effectivly at mid range. You've made an assumption that isn't true, I'm not some idiot who just sprays the AR. I'm just like you are, I just abstain from using the BR. Not to pick nits, but our K/D is pretty damn close considering. So don't assume I'm some noob just because I don't use your holy weapon.

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

grats on being the king of the spray and pray bads.
not using the BR is like refusing to use a golf club for golfing and you attempt to kick the ball off the tee

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


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

Tushé.

Way to go man, even though the Br is easily the most powerful weapon in the game(in a skilled person's hands) you maneged to get fairly far with never using it. I have over 20,000 kills with it over my multiple accounts lol.

Wow Kudos to ya, mines the complete opersite :P

you do know you are gimping yourself right? you could be a higher rank, and more kills if you used the BR

yup, don't care. It's more fun and challenging to me this way, and I enjoy the game the way I choose to play it. I know I could probably be a brig or at least a colonol, but I don't care. And besides, if I got a kill now that would make the whole thing worthless.

are you the noob AR sprayer type? or the type that attempts to kill a BR user with burst fire at mid range
i hope you are the second

I've said like 4 times now that I don't spray. Head to Head at mid range vs a BR, I lose maybe 70% of the time, however my K/D is positive in social (which is what I primarily play), I'm not a noob, the fact that I choose not to use the BR just requires a different set of tactics, I try to avoid those head to head mid ranges when I have the AR. I DO use the carbine, in those situations. I fully realize I could be better, but I do fine without the BR.

I think we can all agree that free balling is pretty badass, but that's beside the point.

It only started because of the bet, I kept it going just as a personal challange.
