Oy vey! I just spend the last several hours giving this article a major makeover, and boy, did it need it. Most of the article was poorly written and looked like a grade schooler wrote them. Numerous typos, comments that looked more at home in a casual message board discussion, and various other things really detracted from the overall quality of the article. It certainly didn't look like a quality | Oy vey! I just spend the last several hours giving this article a major makeover, and boy, did it need it. Most of the article was poorly written and looked like a grade schooler wrote them. Numerous typos, comments that looked more at home in a casual message board discussion, and various other things really detracted from the overall quality of the article. It certainly didn't look like a quality encylopedic entry. In addition to making look more professional, I went in an corrected factual errors and removed some extraneous commentary & speculation. | ||
For example, I removed comments that the BR could have a 36-round magazine capacity or could compensate for supposedly excessive recoil due to some far-out futuristic UNSC tech. However, dimensional compression and inertial dampeners have to my knowledge never been mentioned in canon sources as technology employed by the UNSC for small arms or, well, | For example, I removed comments that the BR could have a 36-round magazine capacity or could compensate for supposedly excessive recoil due to some far-out futuristic UNSC tech. However, dimensional compression and inertial dampeners have to my knowledge never been mentioned in canon sources as technology employed by the UNSC for small arms or, well, anything. Furthermore, it's an inconsistent theory anyway. I also refined the section regarding the BR's ammo besides removing the aforementioned commentary. I know a good bit about firearms, and needless to say, I discovered a few erroneous assumption (large bullet≠massive recoil, at least not necessarily). | ||
I also removed the BR vs. MA5B comparison as I felt it to be unnecessary (it was only a short paragraph anyway). Both weapons fill entirely different niches and don't even appear together in the same game. In fact, the only thing they have in common is that they are both rifles. I could understand if somebody wrote a comparison of the MA5'''''C''''' and the Halo 3 BR on thier respective pages since they both appear in the same game, but not the MA5B and the Halo 2 BR. The only weapon from Halo 2 that warrants a comparison to the MA5B is the SMG. | I also removed the BR vs. MA5B comparison as I felt it to be unnecessary (it was only a short paragraph anyway).
