I doubt it is the new pistol. Nearly every single FPS out there has a pistol for both sides of a conflict. Also storyline wise, it would be impossible for the UNSC to decomission that many firearms and have them all replaced by prototypes that aren't even in mass production in under a few weeks time. Simply put, don't count on anything being replaced.

I think the Battle Rifle will be cool and a great addition to the game opening up new windows of opportunity and new gameplay tactics. It seems a good gun but like all of them has flaws making it a not too overly powerful weapon which makes it very well balanced

Yup well balanced. And having more weapons on the scale, ie. M6D and MA5B, will then help maintain the balance for those that can't get to a certain weapon in time.

You can shoot shoot shoot shoot shoot. If you saw the E3 videos from this year, then you'd know that the 3 round burst readies up really quick. Meaning it is more fully auto if you tap the trigger really fast.

i think its cool because for all those pistol biocthes out there will still be kinda happy because when scoped it shoots like a pistol.

anyway the BR looks awesome and i cant wait to use it

From what I've seen, the battle rifle seems very cool and balanced. It is, in a way, what the pistol never was. The pistol was always a top sniping weapon because of power, accuracy, range, and ammo capacity, but was weak in closer battle because it did not have enough ammo. With the battle rifle, you have more shots for range, and in close the three round burst, although wastefull, will also quickly and easily destroy your enemies because of the bullets power (From what I've seen and heard, the battle rifle bullets are as powerful as, or slightly weaker than, the old pistol rounds. Correct me if I am wrong please)

I agree that it will have a certain weakness at range, but the burst fire seems to be accurate enough to give you enough time to get the scope on and start sniping.
