What is the better weapon: the BR or the Carbine?

  • 08.19.2012 12:49 AM PDT

Games I like:,
Half-Minute Hero
MBU
Portal
Halo 3 is the best Halo ever
Maps I like: Turf, Avalanche, Pylon, Sandbox, Breakpoint and many more.

Carbine. Because it rips the shields off quickly.

The BR. With perfect accuracy from both shooters, the BR will win out. The Carbine's advantage lies in the fact that perfect 4 shots are fairly rare, and missing a burst with the BR is far worse than missing a single Carbine shot.

The carbine is a sexy gun though.

i agree with both of these posts, the BR will win out against a carbine in the hands of a skilled player but the carbine is fun to use from time to time

Carbine, because it has a faster kill time.

Pioneer and Enthusiast for Halo 3.

I feel that the BR is far superior due to the fact that it's my favorite. I never really use the Carbine, but in the future I just may have to.

carbine can kill faster if you dont miss. The BR is a better utility weapon, and is more fun to use imo.

Oh yeah, the Carbine is still a good weapon. I kind of prefer to use it for cleaning up kills, since you're only looking for a fast headshot.

I'm not sure. I think the Carbine might kill slightly faster. I saw a video a long time ago and it had different weapon vs. weapon cases.

Okay, so I was interested enough to go looking for some proof. According to this video, the Carbine will win out if you're in a point-blank fight. However, looks to me like the BR user choked on firing a burst in the first fight? Regardless, this is if you're standing completely still. Nobody is going to have 100% accuracy, so it comes down to who misses a shot first. I suppose you also get more time to reposition your reticle for the next shot with the BR, but with the Carbine you don't get time in between shots to compensate for strafe or cover, or you might end up being too slow.

This pretty much sums it up.

I actually like to use the Carbine sometimes. It is really great on host.
