I really like the competive side of Halo 3 so i really want to keep my BR. its a fine and balacend weapon and alot of people think that. i know there are some people who really would like to have the Halo:Ce pistol so i say BR in Multiplayer (and maybe a weaker Halo:Ce pistol ,7 Headshots to kill) and Halo:Ce pistol in Campaign.


***UPDATE****
someone just posted a great idea.
The Halo:Ce pistol could be a Power Weapon like the SNiper, Rocket. Means max 2 per Map and a high respawn time. Could be cool to fight for a pistol and pwn everyone with it.

yea, i know thats why i said Halo:Ce pistol in Campaign. And Br in Multiplayer, because i think the Multiplayer doesnt have to fit with the story.

Halo CE > Halo 3 > Halo 2

Fix the Halo 3 BR spread, plz.

The Pistol was more competitive than the Halo 3 BR. Pistol is one of the most competitive weapons of all time.

It was in Fall of Reach, they were prototypes but essentially the same as the full version.

If you really want proof then i can look up the page.

Halo: CE > > Halo 3 > Halo: Reach = Halo 2

Is that why MC had a prototype BR in Halo 1? /sarcasm

A Halo1 pistol with the same rate of fire, same single shot semi-auto, and a 4-5 bullet kill would be the ideal weapon for competitive play. Much better then the POS Halo 3 BR.

BR was built in 2525 and the Fall of Reach book begins in 2535.

The reason it wasn't in Halo 1 is obvious, this is a game we're talking about here and gameplay comes first, it's not like they had the BR thought up when Halo 1 was being built, they just made sure that they had a medium ranged rifle (the Assault Rifle), a pistol, sniper, explosive weapon (rocket launcher), etc.

"Now they need to remove crouch jumping and the points system. Then their campaign towards musical-chairs-with-more-seats-than-people will be in full force."

ahhh the CE pistol good memories :]

I don't think the BR will be missed, if there is a Halo CE style pistol to replace it. Hopefully Bungie listens to the community and makes a good game =P

If game play really did come first, then we would never of had the BR.

Please back of the 2525 date with some proof. That is saying it was made before John was even born.

Summary: Those who love the BR, are those who never played Halo 1 competitively. The Halo 1 pistol is a more skilled based, and competitive weapon.

There you go.

Edit: And btw the reason there was no BR in HCE can be most easily explained by continuity errors that plague uber popular franchises.

There you go.

You are right. But it was a proto-type. The Spartans during REACH did not use it.

No... it can be explained by the BR never was supposed to happen, and therefore never was in the original Halo script. It was sadly put in for convenience by some half cocked author who should have never written any of the Halo books, unlike Eric Nylund - the only good author of the halo books.

Not to mention that Halopedia is like Wikipedia, in where ANYBODY can add to it. And much of the information doesn't have references, and is just plain wrong. So no, it is not gospel.

LOL The half cocked author was the writer of the scripts for Halo 1 and 2. Halopedia is your friend. If you gotta a problem with the BR (which you obviously do) that's fine. Just don't slam a guy who is obviously involved with the Halo universe.

#1 The BR was first introduced into the Halo Universe by Eric Nylund <unless you count concept art, etc for Halo 2>.

#2 If you're refering to the author of Contact Harvest, you're complaining about one of Bungie's most senior members; Joseph Staten, who I'm sure knows more about the Halo universe than Eric.

He is the Director of Cinematics (cut-scenes) of Halo 1 and 2. Not THE lead writer of Halo 1 and 2's story. Regardless, his book in the halo series sucked compared to Nylunds 3 halo books.

And Halopedia is no more (even less) reliable then Wikipedia. ANY ONE can write on it, and much of it does not have any references. So no, it is not gospel on a lot of things. For example:

The penetrative power, accuracy, and range of the BR55HB SR are roughly equivalent to the BR55, although its accuracy has slightly increased from its earlier counterpart.

So the The accuracy of the H3 BR has slightly INCREASED!? from the Halo 2 BR? What rubbish.

1) No, the BR was introduced in 'Contact Harvest', by Joseph Staten.

2) Staten is the Director of Cinematics, not the writer of the scripts. And his halo book sucked compared to Nylunds 3 books (much less detailed, and overall not as well written). Nylund looks to know more in detail about the halo universe.

I just re-read the thread topic. Most definitely bring back the Halo 1 pistol for MP. And SP of course, too.

It has the word "Halo" in its title. That means an automatic campaign playthrough for me.

Sort of. There were some prototypes at Castle Base. They were retrieved by the Spartans to be used in First Strike.
