[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Decisiveness Yeah the graphics look amazing but the spartans look like fat asses. What's that all about? It seems like there are too many one shot kill weapons. Where is the battle rifle? Maybe there's something they're hiding but it seems as if the 1 on 1 battles won't be as much of a duel as they should be and team shooting won't be as important as there is no BR. Maybe I'm being too quick to jump to conclusions but this trailer didn't really excite me too much. It's too much of a drastic change from what we're used to in Halo multiplayer gameplay. I wish it could've been all the graphic enhancements but more like the Halo 2/Halo 3 gameplay. That's just me. Something tells me MLG won't have as popular of a circuit for this as it won't be as exciting to watch pros play. It seems like there aren't any skill weapons other than the sniper rifle. God I hope I'm wrong. This is just a first impression, don't hate reply.[/quote]The BR and Sniper are not skill weapons, they are top tier weapons. The fact that no other weapons can outperform them between enemies of equal skill means no other weapons will be used. Halo 2 and 3 get boring really quick because every match is the same: Who can out BR/Sniper who. Other games (cough, Call of Duty, Battlefield, cough) have a variety of weapons that are all balanced against each other making for less monotony (and making skill more important, as you can be caught off guard when you you're not used to encountering weapon Q). Skill is not a factor, as opponents of equal skill should have really tight games (it is a factor that cancels out as its on both sides of the equation). Thus, the reason why the BR and Sniper rifle are used all the time is because they are superior, and that shouldn't be. Not having a BR in Halo 3 leads to less teamwork work because every other weapon sucks. If the AR worked like an AK or M4 (And the SMGs [that includes the Plasma Rifle, and Spiker] like actual SMGs; etc, etc) then those weapons would work well in team coordination.
