what type of "br" can be introduced to Halo 4?

As many Halo Saga fans are aware, the Battle Rifle went through a drastic change going from H2-H3.

If many are unfamiliar with this situation, in Halo 2, the BR had it’s 3 shot-burst, but not much of a spread; there was no need to “lead” your shots(short/mid/long- range). You can shoot from one side of a map to the other without a problem. Going into Halo 3 the BR had a DRASTIC change in shooting long-range/mid-range. You had to aim a few centimeters (depending on your monitor/TV) ahead of the target for the shots to register. How will this be implemented in Halo 4? With the few clips released, there was short range combat and little strafing involved.

How would you like to see the Battle Rifle return to Halo 4? Leading shots or direct hits? Please leave your comments/reason below and thanks for reading!

The H3 style BR.

Well it is hit-scan so…

Wouldn’t a Halo 2 BR be the right fit . My reasons are because of bad connection going on in many XBL games and it just seems more appropriate to directly hit the target, not relying on your connection to be the “BEAST”.

Thoughts/opinions?

They already confirmed Hitscan “aka HALO2 BR”

Halo 2 BR > Halo 3 BR. Yeah, you had to lead your shots, but this only added skill on LAN, because it created so many issues with connection online. Even on LAN, the ridiculous amount of spread on the Halo 3 BR made it inferior to the Halo 2 BR. Random factors have no place in a competitive shooter like Halo (I think even people who play casually can agree).

Ideally, we would see this in Halo 4
Online: BR has hitscan
On LAN: BR has bullet travel

both with minimal spread and recoil of course
