In Response To: Some comments. (Gravemind) : The Semi-auto BR : Your comment about the BR seems to suggest that the introduction of burst : fire was a necessity, as with its rate of fire and damage the semi-auto BR : seen in the demo would kill in 2 seconds (you later revised it to say 1-2 : seconds, which is kind of vague). However, that's not a big deal, : considering that the BR as it functions in Halo 2 & 3 can kill in : about 1.5 seconds, and practically every weapon that's not a one-hit-kill : power weapon takes between 1 and 2 seconds to kill. So, a semi-auto BR : that kills in "1 to 2 seconds" wouldn't be a problem. So long as : the damage and rate of fire parameters for it are set to where it's : properly balanced against the other weapons, there would be nothing wrong : with a semi-auto BR whatsoever. I can't find the exact interview now, but the reason they got rid of it is it could be pulsed like the Halo Plasma Pistol. As you may know, some people could pulse the pistol fast enough in Halo 1 to where you were completely stunned and couldn't move at all while they walked towards you and melee'd for the kill. Now imagine that, but with ranged bullets. It would have been the Halo 1 pistol all over again.
