I was going to come in and say something similar, but this is so much better than what i had that i will just quote it and tell you all to read it again for special effect.

Seriously though, I would much rather prefer a game that's "fair" over a game that makes sense any day". Even Call of Duty, as "realistic" as it is, it's still pretty unrealistic, so that it could be more fair (It's still a pretty unfair game but w/e).
can we get rid of the focus rifle and bring back the beamer! i feel like bungie tried to make a cooler looking "golden shower gun"! i heard in one of the Vidoc vids before reach dropped that one of the designers said his favorite weapon was the focus rifle! really?!?!?!? at what point am i making an all out epic battle to get my hands on this purple rain maker! yes cooooooooooool effect and nosies, i think the only thing this weapon is good for is blinding the other guy...i could only imagine him saying, "what....WTF..what is that....stop it!" lol then me yelling "DIE! DIE! DIE! wait what your not dead, ****." i dont know, whats your guys feeling on this thing...am i just using it wrong. whats the secret!
Eh, I personally always felt that the Beam Rifle was a little redundant. It's not like the Plasma Rifle vs the AR (or SMG I guess) where they fulfil the same basic purpose of a fully auto rifle but do so in pretty different ways. It was just a Sniper with a minutely different nature in that it didn't have to reload if you paced right. I personally feel that the Focus Rifle has a nice place, replacing what the sentinel beam could have been if it wasn't too OP for general MM use. I suppose the problem comes in good part from it being classed as the Covvy Sniper, which it just isn't. It's either a close range burnin' tool, for which it is incredibly effective in the right hands, or a long range support weapon which just reels in the assists if used right. Don't get me wrong, you'll never really see me pick one up cause I'll have a Sniper over it any day, but I still prefer it to the Beam Rifle overall personally.
Yeah, so I was playing yesterday and I got shot with a sniper and it completely stopped me in my tracks and made my screen jerk upwards, but it didn't kill me. Wtf is that all about?
I accually agree with the BR. It would be interesting to see the types of plans or rushes teammates would have. But people who are commenting in this thread dont understand that it would be a POWER WEAPON. So it would spawn later than usual like the rocket launcher with less ammo than what you would normally have in H3.
The point of the beam rifle would not be to serve as a new and different weapon. The point would just be to give Elites a real sniper rifle in Invasion. You can't honestly give eiltes a focus rifle and expect them to be able to kill enemies at long range. I have considered giving Elites real sniper rifles just to balance games out.
Ok so lemme get this straight, EVERYONE now agrees with me right? THOSE WHO HATE H:R SHOULD GO BACK TO H:3? NOW, one last thing, FOR EVERYONE COMPLAINING ABOUT BLEEDING, GET OVER IT! AS BUNGIE ALWAYS SAY: PLAY NICE. There, all done ok? now can someone lock this thread before some dude with an anger issue comes in?
