Its the only thing missing from an otherwise incredible game. Because they made the weapons weaker, removing hitscan made Halo 3's fights longer then they needed to be, and skewed weapon balance, unlike Halo CE where every weapon was useful, even without hitscan...

The biggest letdown for Halo 3 (for me) is BTB, because the lack of hitscan and the random spread makes BTB a lot more frustrating then it needed to be.

Halo 2 BTB was -blam!- AMAZING!

I find that most weapons have their uses. If it was hitscan the BR would overshadow every other weapon more than it already does.

Still, it would help the connection issues, although leading your shots actually requires skill.

I think a five shot kill BR would fix this.

That means changing a core gameplay mechanic which would have a domino effect on other gameplay aspects. The game is tuned with the BR being a 4 shot kill, altering this would likely break other parts of gameplay.

This wouldn't break gameplay, it would decrease randomness and make the AR actually useful! Why they removed it is beyond me

no, it would become like the halo 2 br which had a bigger skill gap with than 3s. Leading your shots does not take skill, it just shows how inconsistent bullet spread is and why hitscan is better.
