The battle rifle is an iconic weapon of Halo. I started learning how to use this wonderful weapon on Halo 3, before then I was quite noob and I was going to the enemies with the AR. However, the BR became my favorite weapon. Aesthetics, Design, Use, was one of a kind and was the reason why as soon as I saw it on the ground it was the first weapon I was going to collect.
All this before that odious update tuning or whatever it’s called. Random bullet, stupid things, in short 343 had to weaken the BR because “too powerful”. Of course with the second update they have fixed things a bit, but it is still too lousy to make it to be taken from the ground. Now, dear 343, from fans of the series since time immemorial, I want to ask you, I want to ask you all:
Why did you ruin it? Try to rethink before the update, it was the most popular weapon, a weapon that was worth leaving the magnum to take it. The BR is too weak compared to the magnum, no one gives stupid sights or warzone variants. Give us back our dear Battle Rifle, the one we all loved, the one that worked well. Sorry for the grammar but I’m Italian and I speak little English. Anyway … I hope this message will pass … if you agree, please read it to 343.
If 343 can reduce the recoil in standard variant of the BR that would be wonderful,there’s no sense to put the pistol down in favor of picking a Battle Rifle,but that should’nt be this way.
The BR is meant to be a rifle so it should have some advantages over the pistol,or work differently…pistol has faster time to kill,less recoil,more magnetism,more RRR…there is absolutely no pint in using a BR in the current state of things
Here is the blog post detailing why the weapon tuning was conducted and the goals behind it. In short.
> In talking with the sandbox team, there are two key goals behind this tuning update:
>
> - Revitalize and re-balance the Halo 5 sandbox to a more desirable state - Establish/strengthen unique roles for each weapon and reduce role redundancy
