We DONT need a 4sk/faster kill BR.

Games Other Halo

Holy my goku. Oh lord vegeta do I hate Battle Rifle threads. Battle Rifle posts are about as bad as Battle rifle fanboys, Too many, Not factual and pretty much ruins Halo or at least makes it boring.

Like the forums, instead of talking about the story, campaign, new modes, new armor, weapons, etc, WE ALL MUST INSTEAD SPEAK OF THE BATTLE RIFLES 1.8000000 OF A SECOND KILL TIME 5+SK ITS THE ONLY THING WORTH IN Halo (4).

[sarcasm] I don’t wanna buy halo 4 now because it’s BR is too weak. I want kill times to be CODified even more. I want all my rifles to kill 2x faster so those damn AR/Storm Rifle/SAW noobs get owned by my BR BR BR BR domonation. [/sarcasm]

First off I never remember the BR ever being a 4sk (body) because the pistol if I’m not mistaken was 4sk (3sk head) and there’s no damn way the Battle Rifle was EVER as powerful as the Halo:CE pistol. I mean do people mean 4sk head shots? Or Have I been playing the wrong friggen Halo games in the last ten years

Second off these kill times have such small differences you will barely have time to notice them. In most cases the better player will still win. A good BR user will most likely still do good and win over a worse BR/DMR/LR/Carbine user.

Third off at close-mid range the Battle Rifle will probably dominate. Much like the Assaule Rifle/Saw/Automatic weapons usaully dominate at close range. Now the BR has that advantage in the rifle battle. In closer maps it’s actually an advantage, worth using.

Making it a 4sk (which is never was on body hits, ever, and until you can prove it, you are wrong) would ruin the games balance. And if you made guns kill quicker, you’d just create a game where taking cover, or even trying to fight would be punished. Halo’s not about that, never was.

Leave it out. The BR is fine.

Bottom line? If 343 sees a problem it’ll be fixed. Stop the pre-release worry and judge on day two.

You realize a BR thread just got locked like five minutes ago, right?

I imagine this feller does, but people will do what they do.

When people mention 4sk, or 5sk, they mean with headshots.

The DMR and BR in Halo 4 are both 5sk’s if the last shot is a head shot, in Halo 3, the BR was a 4 shot.

People are complaining because the BR kills .4 or .5 seconds slower than the DMR would if it hit all shots. Believe it or not, that half a second actually IS a big deal when it comes to playing an FPS.

But what I think people don’t realize, is that the DMR is a little harder to use (I’ve heard many personal accounts telling me this), and in logic, if the weapon is harder to use, than shouldn’t it be a little more powerful? I mean, that’s what the competitive users have argued when it came to the BR vs AR debates . . .

And no one really knows what’s been happening behind 343i’s doors . . . maybe the BR started off as a 4 shot, anyone think of that? Maybe they upped it to a five shot (w/ headshot) kill because the BR was over powered when it was a 4 shot? Truth is, we don’t know exactly what the reasoning behind all the changes to the sandbox.

I support a fully balanced Halo 4, and there are changes to the game that urk me, I’m not a huge fan of all the AA’s, and I’m not a huge fan of some of the Armor Mods, and I do have an opinion of how I think the game will be.

But until I experience the game first hand, I cannot judge it too harshly and say “I know for sure that Halo 4 will suck/ be good.” So, I reserve true judgement of all things Halo 4 until I play the game myself.

But Dominion and Flood Mode look kick–Yoink- :stuck_out_tongue:
