It actually kills a player in 14-17 bullets. Considering the clip size thats nothing. You just have to fire in bursts. Don't go all Rambo on them cause that never works. Just be stealthy and have control over the trigger. Only then will you realize its true potential.

I like to use it with a whack at the end. Charge them and then whack them as you come up to them.

BTW do any of you ever obdletue your shoelaces?

My favorite weapon in most situations...either that or I have a sniper/other weapon that will help me. But the AR is out first.

Yeah, the Assault Rifle is good, but it isn't as versatile as I would have liked. The Battle Rifle is better.

Burst fire is good, though. I see guys running around shooting wildly, and they wonder why they get no kills after shooting 600 rounds. POP POP POP I go, and get a kill in 20 rounds. It's all about the burst fire.

Eh? I'm sick of Battle Rifle users... In Zanzibar, this one friend of mine always grabs the BR. I'm stuck out in the open, trying to dodge the constant stream of rounds... In which the user has a scope. Good bye me... It's like... a more versatile sniper... Or in the World War, a BAR. "More like a mobile gun-turret"

I'm kinda liking Halo 1, where only the person with the Pistol or Sniper has a scope... The pistol is strong, yeah. But it could be easily avoided... In other words, I miss the AR. A steady stream of bullets. Good for fast-paced medium ranged firefights. No scopes for the enemies...

I like Shotguns myself (Who doesn't?) but come on! That's what Halo is all about. In every classic Halo: CE picture, it's the Master Chief huntin' some Covies with his ol' Assault Rifle. Now that it's Halo 2, it's SMGs. Pfft. I somehow get the feeling it's not the same.

Agreed. The AR made games way more fast paced and actually made you control you fire. Now with the BR you only miss if you have no motor functions whatsoever.
