Subject: I love the carbine more than the BR

I just played a couple of games and I realized something . The carbine seems to reload faster and shoots faster.

If I know the location of it on a map I'd rush for it .

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.

H3 Beta Carbine > Battle Rifle.

That all got changed though when the final game came out.

If it weren't for the Carbine having spread, I would agree.

He's right.In the beta the Carbine was the go-to weapon, not the BR.

Been on the forums since July 2008.

If you're reading this, I'm probably better than you in Halo 3 and Halo: Reach.

In competent hands the BR will beat the Carbine every single time.

Carbine's kill time > BR's kill time

Yeah if you're both standing still. But in a realistic situation where both opponents are moving around, the Carbine's random spread will lose every time.

Again, this is assuming the person using the BR is halfway decent.

Depends on range.

Halo 2 > Halo 3 > Halo 3 ODST > Halo Reach > Halo CE

Based on campaigns.

I agree I always swap for the carbine. It's way more fun to use than the BR and a fast finger wins

In which case they both suck however the BR is more reliable at range because you have the benefit of a 3 shot burst meaning you're more likely to land at least 1 bullet. With the Carbine, miss and you're out of luck.

Put it this way, I can't think of a time where I've ever lost to a Carbine user when I've had a BR.

somewhere in the heavens...they are waiting. I love the Marathon Trilogy.
Halo CE will always be the best game in the Halo franchise. What a perfect game.

Since Halo 2 I loved the Carbine more than the BR, I think I was just looking for a reason to have a Covenant weapon instead of a human weapon. :D I wish it was in Reach.....the Neddle Rifle is cool though.
