Ok Umm yh ill add ur gt and have some practise if u dont mind, but i dont understand about this 4 shot kill buisness is 4 shot kill like really good??
The main reason that it's good is because it's accurate (even has a 2x scope), it has good range (being classified as a medium ranged weapon but also can be used extremely effectively at close range), it's somewhat easy to aim, and it kills quickly.
If you're not sure what we mean by a "4-shot", go into a custom game with a friend and have the friend stand still in the middle of the map. Go up to them and line up your reticle on their head (make sure you're fairly close to them, just for the purpose of showing you what a BR can do). You'll know you're aimed at their head when you see a tiny dot appear in the middle of your reticle. Then, pull your trigger four times in succession, making sure to fire at the br's maximum firing rate (pull the trigger relatively quickly). You'll see the opponent drop after only 4 shots (12 bullets theoretically as each "shot" releases a 3 bullet burst). The BR fires fairly fast and so it doesn't take very much time to let off 4 shots. Someone with a good Battle Rifle can kill an opponent with almost any other weapon quicker than the opponent can kill them, with the exception of the sniper, rockets, laser, shotgun, etc. (at range). That's why most good players like the BR. If you still don't believe the battle rifle is worth picking up, go onto youtube and search for "halo 3 mlg pro gameplay". What you'll get is gameplay of some of the best players in the world. Pick a video and watch it while taking note of what gun the player is holding nearly the entire game (in these types of matches players spawn with battlerifles after they die instead of assault rifles like in regular games). What gun is it? You guessed it, the BR.
The assault rifle might work for you right now, but if you ever want to get over level 30, you're going to have to learn to use a battle rifle. An easy way to practice using one is to just pick a map with an open space (like Gaurdian) and fire up a custom game with a friend. Set the starting weapon to "Battle Rifle" (under "Base Player Traits", then "Weapons and Damage") and "Infinite Ammo Enabled" (under "Base Player Traits", then "Weapons and Damage"). Then, for however long you want to practice, just keep going into the middle and trying to kill each other with the battle rifle. Remember to move side to side while you shoot! (If you don't know what I mean, search "halo 3 strafing" on youtube)
IF you want to play some time, add me,
