So I'm guessing the BR is going away in this new game. I'm not complaining though because halo 1 was still great before the BR. What do you thnk the NEW Go to weapon will be? I think iot might be the pistol because in halo 1 it was as good as a BR

i do believe the BR will still b around. in 2525 on harvest (Contact Harvest) they use the BR55 rifle, so its not a new weapon in halo 2, its just new to the game.

There were prototype BRs stored on Reach during the time of the Covenant conflict, and the Spartans appropriated some of them for their foray into the Forerunner underground complex. It's possible we could see the rare inclusion of some of these babies, prototype though they may be.

b.p

if bungie are going to be strict with what happens when they wont include the BR in this game as it wasnt it halo 1 (prehaps not made yet) so id like to see prehaps a new weapon all together? Mabey an automatic with a scope?

No BR? I actually hope so because people need to learn to rely on a different weapon. This will allow us to use other rifles not just that annoying thing. I want to use the other Halo rifles that are in the books. Though the middle spartan looks like he is holding a BR. It could also be an AR but with the way it is tilt it could still be a BR.

the br55 already existed even though ti was not widely used yet

The BR55 was a prototype at the time though.

the BR will be contained since the AR wasn't invented yet during that time it was only field tested.... the AR is a newer weapon than the BR btw thats why in Halo 2 there was no AR's since the AR's were used in other battles and didnt reach earth until Halo 3

It couldn't have been field tested, without being invented, it was just that it hadn't been mass-produced.

i don't think they delete the br that would be bull-blam!-. i mean comeone. the br makes halo so much metter it takes skill withouth the br halo would be less fun

Do WORK!

And the reason why there were no BRs in Halo CE was the fact that the Pillar of Autumn was crash landed on the ring, and all of their supplies (ammo, weapons, vehicles) had to come from the Pill of Autumn. The UNSC was not sending them supplies or reinforcements. So if the Pill of Autumn did not have any BRs, so the marines and Master Chief did not have one. Also, since the AR was relatively new, why not make it the primary weapon on a ship that was going to be heading to the covenant one way or another (if you are confused, read the books).

Isn't there an automatic version of the BR? I thought I saw one in those short test clips Neil Blomkamp did.

I hope the BR remains and the SMG replaces the AR.

I surely hope not.

I don't know about you but I don't really feel like playing every match with an SMG or a AR.
With the occasional kill with a sniper or rocket launcher.

Boooring.

And if they have the AR it needs to be just like the CE version.

If Bungie balances the weapons correctly, all of the weapons will become the new "Go to" weapon.
