In Halo 2, the SMG was the main gun, but everyone wanted it to be the BR, so it kind of was. I think Halo 3's main gun should be a rifle thats Selective fire that can be full-auto or semi-auto thats BR-accurate and AR-shooting speed. When it's in full-auto mode, the aimer thing should be bigger, and when it's in semi-auto mode the aimer thing should be smaller. It also should have a 2X zoom scope on it too.

I think it should be like the Assault Rifle until you zoom in. It should act as a BR then.

That would be kind of weird, because guns aren't like that, and they shouldn't be like that ever.

if u ever played any of the socom games u could pick wether your gun was full auto, burst fire, or semi auto depending on which gun u had. that would be nice in halo 3.

They should just keep the BR the way it is.

I think that since there is some logic behind most things in the Bungie universe, the guns should have logic behind them. Selective fire would be nice, but i seriously doubt it because Halo and H2 were all about simplistic controls (play a squad based shooter and compare to H2 if you dont understand).

In Quake 4, your main gun is automatic until you look down the scope. Then it becomes semi-auto.
Besides, most standard Military weapons have a switch on them to change the rate of fire, so the MC could automatically change the rate as he zooms in.

Ya, I know what you mean, but I thought that have 3 different modes would be too much in Halo 3. But, even just having full-auto would be good, because it looks like people are leaning more towards selective fire or full-auto.

I dont like full auto. It's not very acurate.

That's why the aimer would be bigger (more accurate) for full-auto but smaller (less accurate) for semi-auto.
