I've been playing Halo since 2002. My earliest memories include hiding at the shotgun window on Damnation and killing my dad with grenades while playing co-op on Pillar of Autumn.

ODSTs were not issued with BRs from the UNSC. They will have the silenced SMG and the silenced pistol.


But ODST's had BRs on Delta Halo

Hmm...

Does anyone even read these?

I hope there isn't one, so all the MLGs won't ruin another halo game.
Uhh...

BR is a big part of Halo, regardless of MLG or not, it is used nearly almost every gametype.

He was talking about you by the way.

So, I can wait a couple more weeks to see some new screenshots, or some new gameplay footage to get the answer.

I can't imagine an ODST not having a BR. Maybe they are just trying to push the silenced smg and pistol as the primary ODST weapons.

In the trailer I saw a helljumper with a Carbine so I don't see why BR wouldn't be in the mix.

Beware the smiley face! =D

It appears the AR has won the BR/AR conflict. Who saw that coming? Well, I suppose I'd say the same if the BR won.

Maybe they just didn't show them with BR's, or maybe there isnt any.

I wonder if there will in Reach? I mean, it is likely considering it will have Spartans in it.

The ODST are not a specific stealth unit. Should the situation call for stealth then silencers are issued. It is not a preference. Being 'shock troopers' the ODST are meant to instill fear into to the enemy, that is when the enemy was still human. Black armor and dropping out of the sky in a hellish blaze, on most occassions does lead to the most stealthy of entries. Point being the reason you have a silenced weapon in the game is your not a spartan, no shields, no super strength, your gonna have to be sneaky. To end up this long rant, being 'shock troopers' you will have access to the BR55 aka the battle rifle, though you won't start out with it.

Tell me, how does having a BR in campaign ruin it?

Also, pistol will not = BR.

The pistol (It's Halo 2's pistol btw) will more then likely be an early weapon to make taking grunts and jackles out easier while the BR is for shielded brutes and such.

Do not turn this discussion into more generic arguing about weapons. We're in this particular forum to take what we know about an upcoming game and better our understandings of it mutually.

Mechanics of a different game should be discussed in their forums, especially when you're talking about multiplayer in the domain of a single-player game's forum.

And for the record, I support MLG and I hate to see either side of this unnecessary conflict degrade themselves over a healthy coexistence.

Also ODST and Reach look siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick.

Good, there shouldn't even be one.

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

Aw man, there is no BR?

Shucks, that means I cannot ever buy/play ODST because one gun is missing.

My problems [with Reach] are basically just full parties, mlg, and people who go out of their way not to get killed.

Posted by: Silver Snail
Hopefully not, BRs IMO ruined Halo


I say MLG and the overly-competetive community did this.

Neo has officially been promoted to barf cleaner-upper and pukee hair holder.
I am honored to have that position. While your barfing I can steal your wallets!

It's creepy enough that people stalk Bungie via Webcams, but it's even worse how they stalk back.

Screw it. That was a broken post. Nevermind.

Look in the field guide. There are more classified slots...

I think we are getting a fully customized BR! Why else would they hide the most popular weapon in Halo existence? Because they made it even better.

*Facepalm* - MLG did not ruin any halo games. MLG is just a league for competition. Not to turn games into nightmares.

Im sure there will be a BR. A silenced BR would be sweet.
