MA5B is cool. But I still think the BR55 is cooler.

Same thing with the Assault Rifle.

It took skill due to the burst, it was mid-long range. PErfect strategical gun. The millitary woud certainly use it if it existed. watch the LE DVD and you'll see Bungie gun designers test some of the guns the millitary use.

I love the battle rifle, more so than the assault rifle. The first time i saw it when the first video of Halo 2 was released i knew it would be my favorite weapon. The design is great, the triple shot is sweet, all they need to do is make an option of fire for singleshot/tripleshot and the weapon would be even better. Sure the assault rifle was nice, and it will be awsome in halo 3, but won't it be sweet to have games like assault rifles versus battle rifles? I think it would be. I'm looking forward to the assault rifle just as much but bungie please don't leave the battle rifle in halo 2 and bring it back instead.



You dont know the true art of war!!!!!
If you joined the army and they gave you a "battle rifle" you would ask:

"Where's the auto-aim???"

Pre Update BR, other than that, no, just no. A weapon that is 3 times as strong as the pistol, and twice as acurate un-balances multiplayer.

It's not unbalanced at all. If it wasn't, why is there a big thing called MLG? MLG wouldn't use Halo 2 if the Battle Rifle was unfair.

P.S: The Battle Rifle wasn't stronger than the pistol, more accurate, but thats how a freaking rifle is supposed to be.

ROFL WAFFLE. You made me laugh, your retardation is quite hilarious.
* its auto assist, auto aim is a modding term nowadays.
* Both games had autoaim, your referring to hitboxes.
* Don't be a troll.

Pre-update? So, basically, what you're saying is you want it so that when you fire it, whether you get the kill, or not, is completely down to luck because it shoots randomly within the circle...

How does taking more shots to kill (and having more shot delay) equal being 3 times as powerful? Plus, the Battle Rifle isn't even half as accurate as the Pistol was, it's only got a mere 1.5x scope... compared to the Pistols 2x (plus Halo was more of a long-ranged game)

It is back, well the look of it is, but i think in Halo 3 there AR will be more accurate in this game, for those that dont know MC is holding a AR, but i think in Halo 3 it will be more powerfull / accurate.

Well the same people post, not something Bungie would take seriously lol

I think they should bothe be brought back. Each one required a different playstyle. It would make for more strategic gameplay.

watch the LE DVD and you'll see Bungie gun designers test some of the guns the millitary use.

Unfortunately, they didn't grasp how real weapons work. A rifle with a three round burst fires the next burst as quick as the user can pull the trigger. And accuracy does decrease fired from afar.

Don't get me wrong, the Battle Rifle(coupled with the Shotgun) are my weapons of choice in multiplay as I use it almost exclusively. Works well against everything. But I kind of prefer the single-shot Battle Rifle at 2003 E3. So I don't really care, I'm looking forward to the Assault Rifle. Makes me feel like I'm in Halo CE again...

The fact that there is a mandatory pause between BR bursts has less to do with that Bungie doesn't know guns and more to do with game balance.
