I can use it fine, I've beat H2 on legendary. I also used it in the H3B a fair amount as well. In H2 MLG Players prefer the BR to the Carbine, so I don't think you are correct in it being the better weapon. The whole Idea it shoots actual projectiles is dumb too. What made H1's covie weapons so much fun is that they were not the same thing as a human weapon. And the clip, don't get me started about the clip. Why does it shoot into your face when it's depleted. I hate the whole concept of the gun, you'll never see the carbine in spv2, and you'll probably never see it in our h2 mods if we decide to use the engine.

Edit: Each spiker you see in the game has 4 nades included. However, if one of the spike nades have been "thrown" by the brute who was using, it, it will be missing that nade when you later pic the spiker up.

Hey its it possible to do the "run out of BR or Spiker Nades switch back to frag/plasma"? I don't mind just using the BR or the Spiker but Id much rather have something when I run out of either.

and btw, how many spike nades can you hold 4?

I love everything about the carbine! :rape:

I prefer Battle Rifle over the Carbine, since its head shots are devastating and it has the grenade attachment. You wouldn't really expect the Carbine to have a Fuel Rod attachment, would you?
Are we going to be able to pick up ammo grenades for the Battle Rifle (BRG) and Spiker (Spike Grenades)?

Mistercheif, I have just deleted alot of useless posts by you. Keep up this posting behavior and I'll get someone with warning powers involved.



Also, to answer your question...

Look a few posts above you.

^ I have no idea what the hell mistercheif is smoking... and why are you asking questions when you answer yourself right after?

Anyways, I said that the carbine was the best covie weapon. I still prefer the battle rifle, even though it was a pussy long range weapon that did very little damage. A 3 round burst from it did around the same damage as one shot from the carbine. The reason why I used the carbine more in the campaign was because bungie was a fucking idiot to only give us a max amount of 108 rounds to carry. WTF is 108? It's such a random number. And why did they even give us 108, when the AR use to have 600?! It doesn't make any sense. But still i liked the BR more than all the other weapons. But as I progressed through the game, it became increasing clear that you can't even find the 108 rounds that goes along with the ammo. So bungie only gave us 108 rounds and expected us to find human ammunition for it when raiding alien environments. Yeah thanks a lot bungie. So I was like fuck that, and started using the carbine instead, since ammo for that was everywhere as long as covenant was around, and they always are. Sure theres a lot of BR rounds when you come across flood, but all human weapons are shit against them.

Shotguns are shit against flood? Thats a new one.........

Wrong, all Covenant weapons are shit against them. Except explosives and the Carbine if you get headshots. Human weapons are great.
I like the Carbine; ammo count, plus I just find it more fun, for some reason.
Look at the page number :D
