yeah im curious as to how bungie is gonna pull that off... balancing duel m6g's? idk about that one

The BR is most annoying when marines have it. Sure they have a good aim with the grenade launcher, but have no concern for your safety when you are smacking the hell out of an Elite. You have just survived a brutal encounter with the Elite, barely alive. You melee him for the last time and then *BLAM* your marine kills you. That is a big problem with those Marines. Did you ever notice that your Spartan friends don't attack you once you kill all the Marines? The recticle turns red, but they don't fire at you. Is that a problem that needs to be taken out?

But you won't be dual-wielding CMT's Pistol.

Yeah but the pistol is a sidearm and shouldn't be better than the rifles. Thats why bungie weakened the pistol because in h1 everyone prefered it over the ar.

i aggree with masterz. the BR needs the launcher to give it that cutting edge over the pistol. because its a rifle, it would be put to shame to be weaker than a sidearm.

there are two factors that make it superior.

1: the grenade launcher with impact sensitive explosives that deal a good amount of damage, and you can be using primary fire at the same time. very effective combo

2: the battle rifle shoots three projectiles, and therefore has a spread. its not more accurate, but you have a greater chance of hitting, and also a much greater chance of a headshot on an unshielded enemy.

there is also, however a factor that balances it out just a little.

It doesnt shoot as fast as the pistol.

this means that the pistol is still an effective weapon in gameplay in comparison to the battle rifle. really, the grenade launcher is an ingenious strategical design for gameplay (keep up the good work guys)

(ps: rep please for the analysis )

since we're back on this topic allow me to reiterate (quotes myself)

but i TOTALLY agree with ralex. spartans in spv1 killed me a thousand times with that grenade launcher in truth and reconcilliation.

A pistol that is stronger than a rifle is a no-no. I agree with darkness.

.44 Magnum vs. M16. Magnum wins, but at a shorter range. I agree that there should be no scope, but that's about where it ends.

Speaking of which, what was the deal with the scope attachment in the H3 beta? Got rid of it, new function, or null?

[ExAm]

Probably a laser sight that's turned off.

[ICEE]

it really adds to the gun's shape. i hope they dont remove it

[Ralex123]

I haven't really heard about the H3 pistol yet. Can someone share the knowledge?

[ICEE]

it looks like the H1 pistol, has a slowed rate of fire and less power. thats about all i know (its duel wieldable)
