Battle Rifle or Assault Rifle?

[Player 2]

Just a fun poll to see what everyone's preference is:

1 for Battle Rifle

2 for Assault Rifle

1 for me! although I love the AR, the Battle Rifle feels really good in this game. More Oomph, and headshots feel great.

2. BR just chugs rectums up close, to the point where every BR wielder I've seen just tries to sprint + melee as opposed to actually trying to aim the damn thing.

Maybe my opinion will change when I manage to climb out of the gutter.

2. Personally feel like the BR is trash on mouse. IDK what it is, it just feels kinda off to me. perhaps its bloom or recoil im not understanding yet , but it feels like im missing shots i should be hitting. i would much rather have a single shot like the stalker rifle. I get more perfects and overall perform better with the sidekick than i do the BR.

Br almost always wins the fight if the user knows what they're doing.

Always BR.

AR is literally holding M1 and nothing else. I dont get it why its the starter weapon. no idea how its fun holding M1.

I'm of the opinion that part of that has to be either the hit box is bugged and not all the shots register properly atm, or there is lag in the servers client-side. meaning our shots will hit and register on our end, but don't always register like they should on halo servers which totally ♥♥♥♥♥ with the actual shot count.
I'm not an expert at any of that game development stuff so I'm just guessing at what the reason could be. I've had issues with both the BR and AR not registering all my shots as well.

Once you're out of Silver you'll see that you simply can't function without the BR.
The commando is somewhere in between and def much better than the AR.

The BR. It has the benefit of being long range and dealing high damage if the player handles their aim well. Using it alongside the plasma pistol means EZ kills. The AR works just fine but beyond medium range, it's more of an annoyance to the enemy than a threat. The mag runs out by the time you've lowered the enemy's shields, so a secondary is basically required.
