Subject: Battle rifle... I didn't see one.

It'll probably be in there, but I don't really care.

I want the MA5K, maybe a SPARTAN III game next Bungie?

In any case, I'll be spending my time with the new SMG, they're so smexy.

I want it out for this game. For the exact same reason this thread was made.

"OMG BR WHERES MY BR I NEED MY BR OMG THERES A BR OMG WHAT A NOOB OMG I'M LEAVING OMG"

Joking aside 2 more zoomed weapons...we don't really need it.

Beware the smiley face! =D

I just thought.

Maybe Bungie were making ODST and whoever had to allocate time to putting in the Battle Rifle got that time mixed up with sleepy time, and then project time ran out and they were too busy having nap time.

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.

1) There is no AR / BR "problem". Just people who can't respect the way that others choose to play this game, and people who can't see the usefulness of both weapons.
2) The so called "AR / BR conflict" exists in Multiplayer, which is the exact same as Halo 3, so there will definitely be a BR there.
3) Probably will be BRs in Reach. According to the fiction, the BRs were shiny new, but present during the battle of Reach (they get them in the underground mountain thingy in First Strike).

The silenced smg is 4 nubs. real men use the pistol

I think the BR should be in, not that i'm a fan of MLG. But it should be less common than it currently is in Halo 3, because as was previously stated, these guys are special force, and special forces prefer compact, CQC weapons. Not 4Sh0Tz.

Also, the pistol looks totally kickass. Is that a lasersight I see?
On the topic of headshots, anyone think that maybe the SMG might be capable of that in the campaign? I mean, realistically, it should be, and it would encourage people to focus more on burst-fire rather than bullet-hose tactics. Or maybe instead of headshots equaling instant kills, they instead do extra damage compared to body-shots. I dunno, I'm just psyched for this.
Also, reworked HUD! Sweet!


Also, I was just thinking, are all the SMGs in ODST silenced? I hope not, as variety would really kick things up. Better yet, for anyone who's played Crysis, the weapon mod menu would be utterly sick.

There's a battle rifle in 2 different ways:

1) The ODST disc lets you launch the competitive Halo 3 multiplayer experience, which contains BRs.

2) The BR is the spiritual successor of the Halo pistol, and the automag is the spiritual child of the Halo 1 pistol. So that basically makes the automag a BR.

And like somebody said before, there's a carbine. So we don't need a BR.

Why are people saying this?!?!?!?!?

Doesn't everyone know that the multiplayer is exactly the same as the Halo 3 multiplayer we're playing right now?

Nothing in the multiplayer has changed for this game, the BR and the AR will both be there still; therefore the conflict will be too. (In the Multiplayer at least.)
