An insult to established great Halo games like Halo 2 and 3 that had the BR. The H4 BR will probably end up Reach like and perform like the -Yoink!- vanilla-Reach DMR.
Thank you for the informative post.
there’s no point in having a 5 shot BR. the DMR will outclass it at every range.
the only reason it’s in the game is to try and sucker older fans back in IMO.

Heh, the BR is just a gimmick then for the older fans.
They better not be joking when they say that the weapons are still being tweaked and this isn’t how they will be in the final game. I mean, 5-shot BR, 6-shot pistol with a clip of 8? C’mon.
SUBJECT TO CHANGE!!!
Faster rate of fire.
Now hush. Go to sleep. turns off the lights in this thread
Kill times are faster than Halo 3… People need to get thier facts straight.

Eh? You’re kind of lame.
The Conan video showed the BR firing with the same rate as the BR of old, sorry kid.

They said the DMR is supposed to have higher damage and range, but a lower rate of fire that makes it less useful than the DMR at closer quarters.
As much as I hate quoting CoD

LOL the battle riffle is back to sucker back the old players, it is probably true but funny. I think true halo player enjoy all the halo games because pro’s will adjust to the game and not complain. Remember its the same rules for all of us so stop the newb complaining especially when the isn’t even out yet.
I wonder how bad the kill times will be.
It was never confirmed to be a 5 shot BR. The game that was played that you were referring to was a round of custom games with various game modes, and none of the options selected were disclosed.
The game type could have been pre-set with more health, or there could even be an option to change attributes of different weapons.
15 bullets to 5 bullets… wow. They are making the DMR the most overpowered weapon now. Great. Why can’t they just balance the two. Making the BR 5 shot does not balance it at all, especially with recoil being added to it. The BR was fine 4 shot and I think it would be as good as the DMR, but they had to change it. The BR should win at close range, but now that’s probably not the case. The DMR shoots slightly faster than the BR because it doesn’t have a three round burst, although it does have bloom, the bloom has been decreased. Now, the DMR will win almost every time. Garbage.
Go read what Killa KC put in bold for everyone.
The build is a month old, with even older stuff then the build it self. (outdated graphics, etc gun balance)
The game is not even finished yet. Heck they even said the sounds were not even done.
The Conan vid is more relevant then the build they played.
I honestly don’t see the problem in having a 5-shot BR… We don’t know how fast it shoots or how accurate it will be. It’s really the kill time that matters, and we don’t know anything about that yet.
I’ve been out for a week, so maybe I’m not up to date on things, but when was it confirmed that the BR was 5 shot? I could have sworn 343 said it was 4 shot. I remember them saying the DMR was 5 shot, but not the BR.

What kind of kill times would you like if you had your preference? Would you like the vanilla Reach ones with full DMR bloom or would you like hitscan Halo 2 BR ones? Personally, I would go with the latter.
The vanilla DMR was actually a balanced weapon that let Automatics and close-mid range weapons have a place in the battle. Now a days it’s all DMR except for anniversary that’s all pistol, no other weapon is worth using. I would love to see weapon balance once again, even if it would mean that you would have to learn how to use more then just 1 gun
