Umm, Wander Ice, thats an AR, not a BR. Anyway. I would love a single shot BR. I totally agree.

Everyone is saying that there won't be a BR in H3 cause of the AR in the trailor. Why can't we have both? On that note if the BR does make it into the game I would love to see it shoot single shots while using the scope. However this may be a balance problem cause the magazine is fairly large for a single shot weapon.

What do you think the gun in the Halo 3 teaser is? ; )


Ok, first of all, godda change what you wrote, its sure its not a BR, it looks more like the Assault Rifle from Halo 1, so its pretty nice.
I totally agree about the single shot BR, it did look pimp how he owned all those grunts with headshots

Yes, the Battle Rifle should be single-shot. That fires as fast as you can pull the trigger, with that awesome firing sound. And a Grenade Launcher attachment is optional, but personally I think it'd be an awesome addition since Grenade Launchers are secondary attachments for some US military rifles.

I'm thinking 30-40 rounds. About 8-11 shots to kill a shielded player. It'd be pretty much the same as the burst Battle Rifle. Four bursts to kill a shielded player, twelve bursts per magazine so you would be able to kill about three players either way.

How about anti-armor attachment for the Carbine? I'm thinking an attachment(short range, lobbed in an arc-but players can skillfully lob it quite far by timing and aiming a bit upwards) for the Carbine, that uses a burst of energy to accelerate a new type of grenade that works exclusively against vehicles. It can attach itself to vehicles like the plasma grenade, but in a field of radiant purple energy that fries the vehicle, depleting the driver(s) health slowly. Either the driver can bail out, or die.

If anything, the Carbine should be the weapon to have the 3-round burst. Seems more unique that way for both of them.

Yeah, goddamn it, the AR is not the equivalent of the BR, the BR was to replace the pistol. Argh, I cannot stress this enough.

Yes please! That would be more like the Halo CE pistol, and since it was replacing the pistol in the first place it would be just as good.

On the other hand I think it would be quite difficult to explain why the BR suddenly switched from three shots to only one. And the ability to switch between firing modes just wouldn't be Halo.

single shot BR would have massive fear factor - if one shot hits you, you dont have a clue where your enemy is, the burst fire, however, will usually miss with at least one shot, giving a pretty decent impression on where your foe is at. GO SINGLE SHOT BR

What's the difference is it has an attachment or not? He still uses his hand to throw it, whether it's attached to the gun or not! Use your damn brains people...
