Be constructive, explain your reasoning so we can get somewhere.

Well the only thing I dont like about the BR55 is the reload, it takes like 3/4 of a clip to take out an Elite, but I just dont like that the Assault rifle is so unaccurate

I prefer fully automatic weapons to burst because burst fire takes to long and Full auto takes half the time a burst weapon does!

Fixed it and if the assault rifle is inaccurate then you just have a bad aim!

i chose the ar becuase all it needs is a little more accuratracy and it is a good all round weapon
br + close range = dead

Ok you dont kno me and you have never vs. me before and I dont like you either but all I was saying is that I like the fact that you can use the Battle Rifle for long range and short range!! So if you want to argue about it than give me a good reason why I should like you other wise dont try and change me!!!

One game I'm not joking a little like 7 year old said and I quote " tell me what your dick looks like so I can imagine it in my head and beat off to it"

If Team Swat became ranked, would there still be no shields?


Amazing!

Battle Rifle is better, but you're comparing a medium range weapon to a close-quarters one.

The Assault Rifle is good, but you can't handle yourself against other tier weapons consistantly with it.

I guess the assault rifle from the first Halo was okay, but it just had to big of an area of where the bullets might go. I mean, when that was all I had I considered shooting myself if that were possible in the game, only because half of what came out my clip actually hit the target I was aiming for, whereas the other half wound up flying outside the reticule and hitting some bird 2 miles away. I'll be sad if they bring back this weapon in Halo 3, not because it was the worst weapon , because it isn't, but because I just have the much better p00ning skills with a BR, thus my name, coff coff...

I like the origanal assualt rifle, i think they should get rid of the battle rifle and replace it with the old halo1 pistol in halo 3

The AR is better because its harder to kill someone with it unlike the BR which is like 3 bursts and your dead so If the combat rifle has burst fire and automatic fire and no scope would make the gun versitile it would be better and both side should agree on that.

i believe that their both great weapons what i reckon they should replace the smg with the MA5B and have both the br and the MA5B that would be an awesome double. who cares about if the MA5B is better or the other way round get rid of the smg the are weak and you cant even keep them down with out controling them comeon you can fricking flip a tank!

I think they should do the Hybrid thing... stick a scope on it and do burst when zoomed in... but full Auto when zoomed out!!! MORE ACCURACY THAT WAY!! ZOMG!!!

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

BR is better becuse it is the bet all around Gun.

The BR55 Battle Rifle, or as I call it "Good ol' Jimmy" is my choice, why? Because the BR allows more strategy and tactic instead of shhoting rapidly at an enemy, and how many times has the BR saved your sorry buttocks in Legendary from a horde of grunts (use headshots) or a Gold elite (PP + BR = LOL TEH WIN), or even a jackel sniper? (If you're quick enough....)

And it's one of the best balanced weapons in Halo 2! It has a scope, but can't shoot too far, it uses 3 shots, but not too strong.

That, and it looks kewl :)

I loved the MA5B assault rifle in Halo and i'm glad its coming back in Halo 3 but i had to work with what i was given and the Battle rifle came through for me and it is a more effective weapon by being more accurate. The MA5B assault rifle is much better than the SMG and I always used the MA5B and M6D pistol combo in Halo.

Battle Rifle
