Subject: hate the BR

Ok I am back online on xbox live so if u want to be my friend just send me a friend request. so see you on XBOX LIVE!!!!

I hate the BR so much in this game I mean I love halo im getting the lenendary edition of halo Reach but the really only 2 reasons I hate it is because every single weapon anyone uses all the other weapons are almost ignored except the rocket,grav. Hammer,and the sword. Also its a little bit over powered but the carbine thats a good one the carbine is awesomne!

What? You're crazy. The Battle Rifle is one of the best weapons in the game. I used to have the same problem with it, but when I got the hang of it, I started liking it.

Why do you hate one of the most effective and versatile weapons in the game? Anywho, the Carbine is bad. I don't understand why people think it's of any good. Like really, a competent BR-wielder will destroy a Carbine any day of the week, unless they're just out of melee range. Here's why: The BR's spread is relatively constant, so you get a general idea of where the bullets will end up most of the time and since it's semi-auto, you can only shoot it so fast. The Carbine on the other hand, shoots fast, but the faster you shoot it, the more off-center the shots will become and after just a few shots, the projectiles will start to go around the reticle instead of inside it. Therefore, it would only work when fired at a slower rate, thus defeating its purpose. It is a decent weapon when you can't find a BR.

I think that the BR is the best gun bungie has put in the game and dont see whats to hate about it. The carbine is ok due to the fact it can kill someone just as fast as a BR can, and scince it can do that why would you think the BR is overpowed and the carbine isnt. The reason people ignore most of the other guns is because most of them just arent that great.

I say your wrong because i find it relatively easy to swap between a BR and carbine and effectively score kills

Something else worth noting is that a competent BR wielder will be able to kill someone with a Carbine while they have a BR.

OP: This discussion is so old, and played out I'm truly surprised you're still bringing it up...

Rockets
Splaser
Shotgun
Hammer
Sword
Mauler
Sniper
M41-LAAG
Gaus Cannon
Mounted Turret
Plasma Grenade
Frag Grenade
Spike Grenade
Firebomb Grenade
Scorpion
Wraith
Banshee
Hornet
And even the Assault Rifle if within a certain range...


All of the weapons listed above will kill faster than the BR at certain ranges, and quite a few of them will kill faster than the BR at ANY range. HOWEVER! The BR is the everyman's weapon. It's ease of use comes in handy in ALL of these ranges. It accompanies all of the weapons listed above beautifully. You really can't go wrong having a BR secondary with any of the primary weapons listed above.

Then don't use it, and forget about it when Reach is launched. Hopefully the DMR pleases you more.

No. They ignore the other guns, and complain about the BR, because the BR is the most abundant gun in Multiplayer. You will never find more snipers, maulers, shotguns, swords, hammers, rockets, or any other strong weapon than you will the BR. That is why most people have it as their TOD. Because it is the easiest most versatile weapon to pick up, and the easiest one to find right after spawn.

well i don't hate the br but id prefer to use the carbine because of it being a cooler and funner weapon though i rarely use it because of the br being alot easier to use in high stress situations with it being so easy to use and not stopping in midair like the carbine does at a certain distance

  • 08.27.2010 10:38 PM PDT

BR for the win! Its my favorite weapon in the game!! I can't wait for the DMR in Reach!

  • 08.27.2010 10:38 PM PDT

I'm the best shot around here!

Well ..... look at your record... thats why you hate the BR. Just get better at it...

  • 08.27.2010 10:53 PM PDT

Rarity FTW

You just kicked a bee's nest full of now-angry MLG pros...personally I prefer the Carbine, but that's just me. I don't think the BR sucks, I just prefer the Covie version.

  • 08.27.2010 10:56 PM PDT

From Cyro to Meta

Most people do not like the BR because they are bad with it and they always get killed by it.

I hate the BR so much in this game I mean I love halo im getting the lenendary edition of halo Reach but the really only 2 reasons I hate it is because every single weapon anyone uses all the other weapons are almost ignored except the rocket,grav. Hammer,and the sword. Also its a little bit over powered but the carbine thats a good one the carbine is awesomne!

get better with the BR? it takes skill to use unlike the spray and pray AR.
the DMR will be an awesome replacement to the BR, i cant wait for reach

notice how only three of those weren't power weapons or vehicles.....
also, it takes 2 frags to kill someone

How can you hate the BR and love the carbine, they are basically the same weapon? What is there to hate? I just prefer the BR because I have to press the trigger less. What is bad about the BR?

  • 08.27.2010 11:28 PM PDT

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

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.

I use to think it was pointless but then when I started trying I got good with it And My K/D still suck but has gotten better since I learned how to use that gun better Im sure if I keep on playing like Ill have my stats will improve, and also carbine sucks Id rather use the magnum.
