Subject: Did anybody notice a battle rifle in the trailer?

I'm not sure about you, but I didn't even see a flash of a battle rifle. Its such an iconic weapon, hard to miss. Does this mean that the pistol is replacing it in the Campaign?

...MLG people are going to be pissed :)

Thank you Eliper for correcting me. Looks like there are BRs in the concept art... perhaps they are rare? I dunno, still seems a bit odd that we didn't see a ton of them in the trailer.

I'm sure it will be in the game; they just wanted to show off the new features first =)

Thank god.

Finally we're back to the Halo CE days.



*Thinks about CE days*

SWEET MOTHER OF MERCY PLEASE LET THERE BE BATTLE RIFLES!




I cannot honestly understand how anyone EVER considered that over-powered, hand-held, death cannon of a pistol in Halo: CE to be fair, balanced, or fun.

G-Bread

the pistol has a br scope so br is not needed.

No, but it will be a nice change of pace. Didn't mean to really insult them, just a light joke.

OMG, and guess what? You were right about the Brute Plasma Rifle.

Ur a genious.

Not really, I just don't popularize the many things I've had wrong.

Oh my.... all those threads where I said that there wouldn't be another Halo game for a long time...

Sorry to all those OPs. My bad :)

I am not interested in joining your group.

even if it wasnt in it, did you see the scope on the SMG?! it was pretty far, and it seemed more accurate, so the Battle Rifle may be less overused, and replaced (strength wise) with the silenced SMG

  • 06.01.2009 4:03 PM PDT

What about the AR? No love for that gun? I didn't see it in any trailer.. I guess the standard marines will be using it.

If you look at the diagram for the Drop Pod, you can see a slot designed for the battle rifle.

well for the campagin i dont think it would matter if you had a BR, i used a wide variety of weapons in the Halo 3 campagin. For multiplayer i would have to say they need the BR but other than that who cares.

im pretty sure there will be a br in the game. they didnt show the battle rifel in the game footage because they was just showing off some new weapons. plus you got the sniper rifle....carbine, is that not good enough! cmon if you dont like the fact that it might not have a br then dont complain and dont buy it. its only a campaign, not online!

  • 06.01.2009 4:12 PM PDT

The Battle Rifle should be in the game since Halo 2 had the Battle Rifle, but the Assault Rifle probably won't be present since it wasn't in Halo 2. Things can change and we may come to know more information by the end of the week.

One of the ODSTs is holding an Assault Rifle in the picture and in in the trailer.
