5 Shot BR Really

So im confused 343 please enlighten me on how Master Cheif goes outer Space and then 4gets how to 4 shot ??? Making the gun having recoil was enough change but making it a 5 shot is like punishment.I Dont get why the DMR is influencing the BRs killing rate when recoil already makes aiming harder.In a interview i heard that the BR wasnt going to replace the DMR (Even tho the BR was present for 2 games before The DMR so it kinda makes the DMR the UGLY New Kid)Theres a poll to back me clearly showing BR to be the more favorable weapon of choice. Im not trying to tell you how to make your game but i will let the people talk for me. If you dont allow the BR to be a 4 shot default weapon at least give us the option to increase the damage of an individual weapon in the customizations for the game. But people let me know what you think.

battle rifle is three shot burst so technically its a fifteen shot weapon…and yes im just being an -Yoink-.

being able to customize the damage of your weapon would make the game unbalanced, so im gonna have to disagree on this.

well, it’s highly possible that spartan 4 armor has better shielding. and now that the br fires as fast as the halo 2 br (a little faster than halo 3s) it probably needs a balance, especially when you take all the other guns into consideration. i would love to see a 4 shot, but i really dont care otherwise.

i doubt they changed the shielding at all, its never been a problem in any of the other games.

he means in custom games. which is absolutely fine. the more flexibility the better, in customs at least.

did he? i didnt read that anywhere in his post but if thats what hes talking about then i dont see any problem with that.

im talking from a lore standpoint. if you were a spartan you would want better shields, who knows the unsc might well have improved them.

Thank god there increasing how fast you can shoot. Now i wont feel like im playing halo in slow mo.

i think thats what he meant. if it isnt then absolutely not, thats even worse than having a mod which lets your shield regen faster.

Yes i meant in custom games like as a customizable feature

Yeah im against that, it already fires a three round burst that triples your odds of hitting the opponent and breaking their aim. If they made it really strong too it would just way overpower the dmr which honestly i view as a better weapon. Strong shots, more skill needed to hit your target and do so accurately for head shots, and its useful for picking away at vehicles, something that no other bullet based weapon has ever been useful for before. (ofc vehicle health was based differently in the past but still). Honestly i hope they make the AR better, its damage is too low. It should be able to beat the dmr up close and personal where its comfort range is but it sure fails at that. Also plasma repeater needs some kind of fixing, doesnt quite work right/effectively.

It should stay a 3 burst fire but until i hear about the health system I will judge the BR

Yo a vehicles is a vehicle and if its built for combat i highly doubt that a singal shot weapon would truly harm it as much as reach has you to believe and as far as the assault rifle goes ive seen in almost every halo game it being dominant in all close range fights even more than deserved at times making it stronger would force people to play a style of FPS thats just not Halo. Oh and if its hit scan it wont feel like 3 rounds are hitting you it would be more like simultaneously.

The BR is always has and always will be a 3 shot burst im talking about the kill rate changing from 4 shot to 5 shot just becuz there is another Main weapon to choose from which shoots faster and has better precision.
