I was playing a game of Team Slayer the other day and I though to myself how much different life was with the 3-round burst in the mid to long range precision weapon of Halo 3 (The BR).

I began to miss the 3-round burst and was wondering if other people do feel or have felt this way. Also, why? Were you part of the Halo 3 (or pre-H3) Fanboyism or did you only find Halo at Reach and are fine with the 1-round DMR burst?

No, because single shot is much better than burst fire.

If you mean take the weapon how it is now and make it like that, definitely not, it would take two shots to kill someone

Otherwise, still no, I much prefer single shot to burst, it feels more accurate and powerful

When your spirit is floatin' down the tunnel, toward the light, you know wot's behind the light? It's not god. It's me. And I'm gonna kick your --- soul all the way back down the tunnel, 'til you choke on your own ---'d up ribs. Now. Wake. The ----. Up!

The DMR and BR are two entirely different weapons. I prefer them that way.
Single-shot can be fun, and is my preferred shooting style, but at the same time 3B can lead to some crazy shots. Bloom would kind of mess with 3B, but since there's no gun that fires only bursts in Reach, I guess we'll never know.

nope

I don't really have a preference. As long as it can kill fast and is hitscan, I'm down with it.

Also, rather isn't a verb.

Sometimes, I dream about cheese.

DMR = cross between a BR and sniper rifle
BR = cross between an AR and sniper rifle

so no

Single shot is way better than the burst.

dont like my driving? stay off the sidewalk

no, because BR bullet spread combined with DMR weapon bloom would have destroyed the gun.

  • 06.08.2012 5:26 PM PDT

As pleasing as the 3 round burst on the BR was, from a gameplay standpoint single shot is much better.

No. I prefer the elegance of single shot weapons. I find burst fire to be sloppy due to the potential for partial credit on shots (just one or two bullets of the burst hitting/registering).

I've played all of the Halo games and the BR is my least favourite starting weapon to date.

That said I'm absolutely not a fan of 100% bloom either. It's a toos up to me which is worse between that and the Halo 3 BR's awful spread and registration issues.

  • 06.08.2012 7:52 PM PDT

Yes and No.

It would be nice for the battle riffle in Reach but the I think we all wanted a persicion gun.

The DMR is basically the beta version of the BR. The BR was originally single shot before it got changed.

New Zealand is pretty much the best place in the world.
