I personally don't wanna see the BR in HALO 3 due to its auto-aim and button glitch.
I think thats why the weapon has become a favourite with so many. There must be others out there who think that the BR is -blam!-. There are so many guns and yet you have to ask yourself WHY ? as say 90 % of people would just walk over them and not bother picking them up as they know the BR owns pretty much all the time.

I like it. Not because of the button glitch though, Just because it was a crapload better than the SMG

You should of made up your own instrument. You could have named it the PolarLighting -a-phone. People would buy it and they would all be like "Awh, He's so cool for inventing the PolarLighting-a-phone."

First of all, the BR was quite popular even before people learned how to BxR and/or double shot (which is pretty much useless in a real combat situation). It's an all around good weapon that can be used for just about any situation. Of course they'll fix the button glitches, doesn't mean people won't still use it. I'm looking forward to seeing both the BR and the AR in Halo 3.

Since it's a completely new game and they would be essentially recreating the BR I don't foresee the return of the bxr glitch, and they can render whatever auto-aim they want. It's not a feature that's inherent to the title of Battle Rifle. I wouldn't worry about it if I were you. I would, however like to see the BR return with less auto-aim and bullet magnetism if there is any.

what do u mean, auto aim?

  • 06.29.2006 6:05 AM PDT

The BXR glitch is available with any weapon that fires rounds from a magazine, ie magnum, carbine etc. Not just the BR. That is a glitch specific to the Halo 2 game mechanics there is NO chance of it accidentally reappearing (we might get new glitches though). Also, the auto-aim will be relative to what it is across the board in Halo 3.

I didn't know there was a button glitch, but remove that and autoaim and there you have it.

What i mean by that is......with the power of the BR there is a button glitch (BXR etc.) that you press and it can shoot 6 bullets instead of your usual 3 per trigger pull. Don't know what that combo is !!. Basically you can use this with every weapon but its more effective with the BR seeing as its overpowered (with the glitches). Before you ask about auto-aim...this weapon does have a slight auto-aim.

more weapons .. bigger levels .. more fun

  • 06.29.2006 7:17 AM PDT

well. of course bungie is going to fix BXR and RRX for halo 3.

and, maybe they'll ditch the BR for that shiny new AR,

or, they might have both come back.

just wait until the game comes to find out. because i think they aren't going to tell us very much until it's release.

Since Bungie knows about BXR, I can almost promise you they will be sure to find a way around it in Halo 3. Otherwise, I don't care what happens to the Battle Rifle as long as I get my babies back (Assault Rifle and the old Shotgun)
