This is actually the stupidest thing ever posted on B.net:

Why does everyone hate Halo 2? Maybe its because its the worst game ever next to mario.

Did you think the change to the Carbine from the beta to the final game was for better or for worse? It was arguably the better precision weapon when comparing it to its human counterpart in the beta. What do you guys think?

I run Skirmish!!!

looks about the same to me.. The guy using it in the video is a retard and the people he is shooting already have shots in them so its hard to compare...

The carbine is a good weapon if you can shoot someone in the head while pulling the trigger as fast as possible

50s in: Slayer, Doubles, Lone Wolves, Objective, Ranked BTB, Swat, Snipers.

The Carbine was more powerful in the Beta. It was the go-to weapon, instead of the BR.

All that is needed for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

Looks like it does a lot more damage than it does int he full game.

I think they should of made the human marksman rifle like the carbine and the carbine like it's human counterpart. It's confusing to explain what I mean; but I'm sure it would have improved game-play.

This (from all of my second hand sources). ^

This was interesting to watch, because I never got to see the H3 Beta in action. Looks like the Carbine was a lot more powerful, but mostly because of its increased accuracy. Similar to the current one though.

The M392 from Halo: Reach? No. I'm using the term marksman rifle to describe the BR55HB's position and main use in and by players of Halo: 3.

Off-topic: Although, now that you mention it, I think that this similar change would of improved Halo: Reach as well (but not as much).
