HACK THE PLANET!

Why

Don't go and cry because you won't be able to "4-shot" brutes.

I brought this up yesterday, it has yet to be seen in actual gameplay. I have seen an AR though.

That is just crap! If I don't see a Battle Rifle then, its going to really hurt my opinoin on the game. Why do we need a damn AR, the Silenced SMG can do its job just as fine.

I don't really see why they would add a BR if both the pistol and the SMG have a scope.


Yea there is really no point for it if the smg has a scope and the pistol does too.

The Outstanding Standout

Posted by: The 7th Centru
Yes it will, I mean come on, the game has like 5 videos out now, you can't say "that's it no br" yet, I mean there are only a couple of Vids out. BTW new SMG>BR.
No no.. It's SMG+Pistol>BR.

Even if the BR isn't in campaign, it is a staple in halo gameplay, and will probably remain in matchmaking. it's been there from the start. it's even part of the symbol of the mythic map pack. it would be insane to completely remove it.

I hope the BR isn't in Reach as well...

I can see it not being in Reach, since it wasn't in Halo 1, but Halo 3: ODSt takes place between Halo 2/Halo 3, so seriously, it needs to be in ODST. Then again, in the books, the battle rifle has always been there. I want to know whats the deal with weapon changes for UNSC troops, while in the books, they always have Battle Rifles.

Who in there right mind would want the BR...WE HAVE A SILENCED HALO 1(sorta) PISTOL...oh wait those who have never played Halo CE

The battle rifle doesn't seem like an appropriate piece of reconnaissance equipment, to be honest. Our current arsenals looks like it's shaping up to be amazing anyway. You probably won't miss it.

oh yeah but ripping a turret off and running around with it, is appropriate, lets not forget the rocket lawn chair and the spartan L.A.S.E.R ( laser is an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation ) just thought I would put that out there.....

Goes with viper skills. Seriously MLG stay with -blam!- halo 3. No one loves you. Dont go to ODST. Dont go to Reach. Just stay in H3.
...Since when has the Battle Rifle been MLG restricted? Its used in most of the books, and hey its a pretty badass looking gun if I do say so myself.

  • 06.03.2009 7:56 PM PDT

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.”

Thanks For EVERYTHING Bungie!

I doubt the Battle Rifle's gonna be there. The Automag seems to be taking its place as well as making its own place in the awesome-circle just below the M6D (the circle is uh... verticle. Ish).

MLG has nothing to do with this, in my mind. I doubt even Bungie took MLG into long consideration when planning weapon setups. It could be a change of weapon groups. Not at all a bad thing to me.

Vancouver BC, Canada.

The Battle Rifle doesn't need to be in the new game.

  • 06.03.2009 8:27 PM PDT

rainbow 6 is one of 4 games they do along w/ halo 3, GoW2, and some other crap. you cant tell me rainbow 6 isnt a co-op game

hopefully the br will b in the game

as for the pistol
it isnt as strong as the halo1 version
sorta a mix btween 1 and 2
from the looks of the gameplay it looks good for unshielded headshots but
doesnt look great at taking down shields

  • 06.04.2009 6:14 PM PDT

I believe it will stay in the series, I mean the Battle rifle is the ODST's standard weapon of choice. It is also possible the the new pistol is it's replacement though sadly.

I think they're keeping it a secret so people start talking about it - if that's what they're up to, it seems to be working. I'm almost positive it will be in the game, and you never know - they might add a suppressor!
