Thinks that the following is true:

Someone is a noob for being able to get close enough to kill you with a Shotgun, yet you getting kills with the Battle Rifle at pretty much any ******** range imaginable is "pro".

One of the many reasons why I stopped playing the game 24/7.

That's the one reason whenever I see BR *insert Slayer/Team Slayer/Etc* on any map (Even Avalanche, though god do I love that map) I put the Flash to shame in smashing down that Veto button. I honestly think if they took out every single gun except for the BR we wouldn't see any difference in how people would play I'd still take potshots while attempting to get close enough to beat them down or rush for a vehicle and there would still be millions of people who have mastered the fourshot dead ability kicking my a** all over the matchmaking lobby.

Or the shorter version of that rant "BR BAH HUMBUG!"

Ugh, yes. The Battle Rifle is so damned versatile that it outclasses everything unless someone gets into the ideal range and they get in the first shot on the BR wielder.
