As I’ve played H3 throwback slayer this week, it dawned on me. Including the Halo 3 (Classic BR in Halo 5) in BTB would help it so much. The reflex sight BR is so bad in BTB.
Thoughts?
They aren’t planning on making those types of changes, but I think the Classic BR is on one or two maps as a pickup weapon.
I’d like to see map rotation with no sniper or vehicles in btb. I like btb but it’s too easy to get into lopsided battles via vehicle control and sniper cover.
The BR could use all the help it can get to be completely honest with you. Ever since the balance update, I’ve really hated using it.
That BR would be nice to have.

Halo 2 BR in BTB as a pickup weapon is clutch. Very accurate. Love the old school sounds from the old Halo 2 days. You are correct that it’s lying around on some maps.

Same. The BR went from being my favorite weapon (pre-patch) to being my least favorite weapon (post-patch).

I’m surprised the issue has not been addressed. They need to reverse what they did.
If you want true BTB Halo 3 experience with the Classy BR, nerf it to a 5-burst kill with the bullet spread it had in Halo 3, most real experience.
Plus to be honest, I liked the Battle Rifle when it was a 5-burst kill instead of the 4 burst it is now, but that’s just me.
Seems like everyone hates the nerfed BR, but with the majority of the team most likely working on Infinite, I doubt Halo 5 will see any real changes.
Halo 5 had some keen features I really liked but also had some weapons and maps I didn’t like. Overall, I loved H5 regardless and I am happy with the direction the franchise is going! Excited to see where Infinite takes us all next!

They won’t, cause the comp players asked for them to change it.
Still better than the H3 BR #NeverForget

I don’t even think the comp players liked the final version of the BR. They’re not going to changes things cause they’re done with H5 updates.

Kinda pointless anyway, Infinites a year out. Best prep for that.

But…the BR is far from viable in a competitive environment now.

Quinn was the lead on the weapon changes and I think he’s working on Infinite now and H5 just has a skeleton crew working on it, so any changes likely won’t happen until after Infinite comes out and who knows how long after that. They were also supposed to address the magnum, but that never happened either.

Yeah, you’re right. Here’s hoping they do better with Infinite.
