From: iRGush | #060The most competitive halo games have focused on empowering the individual, not the team. In halo 1, you were able to basically take out 2 people challenging you with the pistol if you aimed and strafed well because it kills so fast, the same pattern continued in halo 2 with a good strafe and double shot because of a fast kill time. Halo 3 saw slower kill times and a piss poor range of the BR which gimped the individual to basically being having to hold hands with their teammates for any hope of winning which I feel is a stupid style of play that makes the game less competitive. The H4 BR has the second slowest kill time of any utility weapon of any halo game (only behind the H4 unscoped light rifle) and can barely shoot across map. You can't even punish people for running out in the open because its basically impossible to 5 someone with a BR.
By all means Gush, run out into the open against people using BRs, that aren't idiots and see how it goes for you.

Oh wait, you've been running out into the open blindly for the past several years. Not really worked out for you, has it?

Do you really think halo reach would have been better with the BR when it had ZB?
You are talking about a game that was responsible to an extent for the decline of competitive Halo. Also look back at what I have previously posted, I have said that imo on proper size 4v4 maps, the BR plays better in terms of gameplay on H4. Reach really doesn't come into the discussion.
