Veto for ARs!!!!

Halo CE, 2, and 3 all suffer from the same symptom: There is only one scoped, mid-range human weapon. The Pistol from CE, and the BR in Halo 2 and 3.

...BORING!!!

Why only just one? It can't hurt to have more than just 1 kind of mid-ranged human gun, right? We need options! Why can't the CE Magnum and BR coexist? Of course you would balance the damage to make them more equal, so it could come down to personal preference instead of one being better than the other.

And my idea for a third gun: A sort of AR/BR hybrid. It would be fully auto when firing 'from the hip' and semi-auto when firing while scoped in, kind of like the BR from the first Halo 2 E3 trailer many years ago. Again, damage could be tweaked so it's equal to the BR and Magnum.

Thoughts?

The BR and the Carbine is all we need.

This isn't Call of Duty

We have the carbine. What does it matter if it's covenant?

Armor Lock isn't overpowered. You just suck at Reach :)

Reach isn't bad, you're just a BK :)

For my gamertag, look up "Ghoulishtie"

No. Bad idea is bad.

What, afraid of a little variety? Happy with monotony? Guess that's all I should expect, really.

I wouldn't mind some new human mid ranged weapons like that. Just pointing out that we do have the carbine.

Long live the Last Refuge!

You must understand that this is in the future we don't need a million different weapons to get the same job done when we have one great gun that can handle the task effectively but still require some skill to use the weapon well.

If we wanted variety, we would play the CoD series, but this is Halo

Signatures are for squares.

There is no BR on reach, it was a prototype weapon on harvest, there was only a few BRs in Doctor Halseys lab, and The spartans get them in First Strike, so don't expect too see many BRs at all, if any.

Uhh no. COD is way different than Halo in many fields, not just weapon variety. I definitely would not mind more human weapons, there are not enough in my opinion.

We don't need new types of weapons, we need new names!

For example:

The noob BR
- the player who takes 8 shots to kill someone, the someone who is standing still

The regular player BR
- for the regular player who wants to have fun

The community BR
- for players in the Halo 3 community with the 7th column, you know, the guy who, if you have a topic in a forum, says... "Wrong forum, wall of text, off topic, not thought throughly of enough, SPAM!... BAN, BAN, BAN!!!"

The MLG BR
- "He's one shot on my X...", "3 players at F4...", "My BR went to jail for -blam-..."

The modder BR
- shoots tank rounds

Shishka's BR
- has flam and bans!

But that in the book FoR, the Battle Rifle is considered a 'new weapon' and to my knowledge only the Spartans beneath the surface in Castle Base get them.

also; Isn't there a few cutdown versions of the MA5B Assault Rifle?
