Battle Rifle makes the game boring

Yes with BR spawns even noobs can get a free kill, it has too good aiming and you can shoot guys from one end of the map to the other. This makes Halo a hide and seek game, you hide from the enemies, and look around the corners for someone too shoot.
I wish that 343 removes BR starts from Team Slayer, it should only be in tactical slayer if you like that kind of gametype.
Team slayer was always fast action pased gametype, but no not in Halo Infinite.
Now a secondary weapon is pointless, you dont even have the AR to start with, or the pistol.
The pistol is almost gone in team slayer.
If 343 balances the weapons Halo Infinite can be fun again, but in Season 2 they added BR starts to Team slayer, making the game so boring.
Im sure that 90% of my team mates also quit playing when Halo turned into a BR slayer.
The BR should be treated as a power weapon in Team slayer.

The Battle Rifle makes Halo even faster of a game with quicker decisions needing to be made to have success and win. Having map control and know where your opponents will spawn has a direct connection in teamwork and communication to win games.

It doesnt make the game fun though, I like to use different weapon combos like the old Halo games.

Halo is a party game, do not act like this is all important or most caring. This may be true in your sphere of competitive playstyle but does not reflect the majority.

You can still do this in this current state of the game.

Social play is way more enjoyable than competitive play. Always.

Team slayer is so competetive now with BR starts.
Aiming is far too good and bullet speed too fast.
Its just not fun any more.
The only games that are fun are without BR start, but I cant choose how to play the game.

Do you enjoy playing BTB? I’ve found my second wind playing BTB on Infinite. Especially with this wild’n chaotic event occurring.

Not really, I find BTB boring, I always feel like Im lost in that game type, too much action for me :slight_smile:
I like team slayer with 2-3 friends in the same party.
But when Team slayer turned into to a BR mode in season 2, my friends quit playing too.

Then stop playing. The BR start is the best start for Halo’s health. You literally just do not understand why it works.

I would be happy to explain if you want.

This is how the BR has effected the weapon meta since Halo 2 and it’s become the default weapon start for most who’ve played Halo regularly.

Well if you look how the BR works in Halo 3 its completely different, much harder to aim.

Halo Infinite BR is more like a power weapon and makes every other weapon useless in combat.
you actually need some skill to the BR in Halo3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYr5k5-uQeU

It’s true the BR in Halo Infinite is kind of silly, I love that it’s part of the beginning when starting a game, but it is annoying that it does not exist or has that learning curve all the shots register perfectly and there are no wasted bullets.:face_with_raised_eyebrow:

You linked a video recorded on MCC’s older build where Halo 3’s netcode was causing weapons to have their shots lag. This is an issue that’s existed on Halo 3 since it launched on 360, and is why for a long time (until 343 fixed it with their MCC patch) the Halo 3 BR was a 5 shot kill online and a four shot kill on LAN.

Its just too powerful, I dont like tactial slayer, I like more of a sandbox Team slayer with different kinds of weapons on the map.
