Hey fellow Halo fans, today I'm discussing a very ipmortant topic...
The BR. Something that has troubled me and some of my friends since September last year. What happened to it? Where did it go? Why did it leave? Will they bring it back? All important questions.

Really there is no preformance difference between the two, but I liked the three-burst action of the BR rather than the one shot of the DMR.

My brother likes the DMR because of the new body job done the make it look realistic. I agree, but I would prefer the BR be put in a new battle suit if you what I mean.

Honestly the sudden disapearence of the FAMAS like weapon after ODST is disturbing.

I have to wonder, if the BR's disapearence has to do with the sudden timeline switch, does this mean we can expect to see a BR in Halo Four... or a DMR in Halo Anniversery?

Anyway just wanted to get that off my chest... and type this important question.

Please fill out the survey honestly and thankyou for your time.

Bye!








Oh by the way anyone who signs on to this thread, please tell your friends or anyone else you know on Bungie.Net about this thread. I wanna see what a lot of people think.

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

FAMAS like weapon

On Topic:
At least the battle rifle didn't destroy vehicles like the idiotic dmr does.

If you're passionate about the thing you're talking about, I'll always lend an ear.

BR in canon, DMR in gameplay.

i dunno i mean lovvve the BR but after a while of starting to get to know and care for the DMR i've grown tired of its innaccuracy and lack of three round burst... so gotta be my baby BR :D

I agree dude. When this game came out I thought the DMR might be a good change in pace, but just as you said the inaccuracy of the DMR makes me dream of the old days of playing Halo 3's SWAT...
(which by the way is better than Reach's)

Can't say I dont agree with you, but I can't I do. Was and is the FAMAS overpowered... yes, by a longshot. However, the BR can't kill you in 1 to 2 burst no matter where it hit you... The BR requires headshots to be successful.

Anyway I was just comparing the BR to the FAMAS because they are similiar in many ways, they even look alike.

Neither I never really liked the non sniper precision weapons they changed halo a bit too much for my taste the pistol was fine but I loved the original AR I hope they keep the original weapons pile.

Yeah dude no matter what anyone says the BR required timing and it was hella satisfactory when you landed those 3 bullets in someones dome a few times.

Dmr when you get headshots now you actually done know if ya got it cause that reticule supersizes every fricken time!

  • 08.28.2011 5:09 AM PDT

untrue, i actually tested this in Halo 3.

Me and my little bro stood right next to each other, me with my AR, him with the BR. on the count of 3, we let loose on each other with body shots. AR came out on top only half the time, at its BEST (point blank) range. the BR can punch out that power over a distance, and with a series of headshots, its faster at close range hands down.

Never really tried in reach, mostly because the DMR takes better aim and is overall weaker, but i THINK if i were to test under the same conditions (regardless about different games) i think the AR would Far better.

i like the DMR a little bit better. Needs more skill, and you cant spray with it like with a BR.

only because of bullet lag, which was with every weapon in Halo 3. Reach doesn't have bullet lag, mind you.

just somethin' to think about

i like the single shot over the burst fire. BR was too easy to use. a mix of no bloom and single shot would be perfection

You don't want 1 single perfect weapon, you want a variety of weapons that are balanced with eachother.
