Please discuss the BR and AR and your thoughts in this thread and this thread alone. For reference, Bungie's response to all comments and complaints about the design of the Battle Rifle can be found [url=/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=14347] in the weekly update for June 20th, 2008[/url]. People expecting further Bungie responses on the issue are likely to be disappointed. [Edited on 09.20.2009 10:15 PM PDT by x Foman123 x]

  • For people asking themselves why they put the AR back in Halo 3: Remember what Bungie said about the AR: -We want the perfect respawn weapon. That's why your default spawning weapon is the AR (easy to find, lot of ammo, average damage etc...) If you want something better, just go for the BR. Also I think the AR fits the Marines very well.

  • I agree with many of the others, there is no problem with either of the weapons the br is good at all ranges and the ar for short to mid. So what's wrong with it?

  • AR: Halo CE: Great all purpose weapon. Can own on almost any map in multiplayer, if the user is skilled. Works at close or medium range. Not very good in campaign. Halo 3: Good in campaign, because of brutes replacing elites. Good in close range in multiplayer. Someone skilled in H3 AR can easily take down someone using a gravity hammer/energy sword, or shotgun. Halo Reach: Next to useless in campaign on higher difficulties. Ok in multiplayer, but easily outclassed by plasma rifle. BR: Halo 2: Necessary in campaign, especially on higher difficulties. Can dominate in multiplayer, especially coupled with a good close range weapon like brute shot or energy sword. Halo 3: Useful in campaign, but ammo is burned through fast, and there isn't very much of it. In multiplayer BR is a very good all around weapon, and it is highly recommended that one is maintained early in a match. Spiritual Successors: SMG: Halo 2: In campaign, next to useless on its own, but deadly when coupled with plasma pistol/rifle. In multiplayer, very good on any close quarters map, though easily defeated by BR on any map with long sight lines. Halo 3: In campaign, few and far between, and not as useful as in H2 because of the reduced focus on dual wielding. In multiplayer, a good substitute for the AR on close quarters maps, especially when used with a mauler. DMR: Halo Reach: In campaign, one of your essential tools, vital to playing through the campaign on any difficulty. In multiplayer, a true tool of destruction, though high rate of fire coupled with reticule bloom make it a weapon that takes some practice to use effectively.

  • I think that the BR is fine, and the AR is as good as should be. I personally think that the AR could use a little bit more accuracy, but it seems to be a formidible tool of destruction if in the right hands such as me and various others. Same goes for the BR, but I use both at the same time, for they are the most basic and reliabe weapons in the game and I am fairly effective with them.

  • yeah how many years has it been since the fight started? 3. i dont think that its that big of a deal. the BR is amazing if you know how to use it. Same as the AR. learn how to use the thing or go find something you think is better. if you hate it so much, go play halo reach or halo cea. they dont have battle rifles.

  • I dont know why the AR was even put into Halo 3 and Halo Reach because most of the time i find myself wandering around the map looking for a BR to swap with. As much as people disliked it in halo 3 im shocked Bungie actually brought it back for halo reach.

  • In term of efficiency during the battle, I'll vote for the BR for sure ! But the AR is cool tu use, particularly if you shot small bursts, and it looks great. So, in Matchmaking I use the BR and in the campaign, I mix.

  • I personally like both equally but my opinion is that BR took more skill since it was 4 headshots and DMR was 4 bodyshots and 1 headshot. Also with DMR ties seem to happen constantly because of this

  • The BR is good in medium and short range it just needs more enlargement when zooming 3 round burts are good but the rifle in Reach has 15 trigger pulls ad is maybe 1%-10% more power while BR has twelve rifle pulls. Otherwise a good weapon and also I will talk about the AR and send message if U want me to talk more about the BR. Now the AR is good medium and short, 32 shots yet entire clip and meleeing to take a single player down, not good for long range ambush unlease your sitting preety, and I know it has happend to me LOL. It has 12 clips perfect magzine ammo more than a ordinary BR, which and I quote 4 clips. If I were to choose one I would take both but If were one were present I would also take a side arm (plasma pistol and a pistol) or a energy sword. I will also start a weapon thrad.
