want BRs in ODST? Because personally i think the pistol would match or maybe exceed the BR but I want to know what you guys think.

nah, the pistol kind of replaces it.

My problems [with Reach] are basically just full parties, mlg, and people who go out of their way not to get killed.

It seems as though the new pistol has taken the title of "King of all Halo weapons". Seriously, we don't need a Battle Rifle and this pistol. I wouldn't mind either way, though.

Reach needs to be patched. It's the truth.

I couldn't care less if the BR wasn't in the game. The silenced SMG and pistol make up for it

Keep it classy Flood.

The new pistol is my hero.

Pistol>BR

There are 2 reasons why the BR belongs in ODST.

1) It is a special advanced weapon which suits what ODSTs do.

2) It is the only weapon in the game which resembles a combat rifle.

The ODST pistol is effectively the Halo: CE pistol.

You won't need the BR.

I wish I could understand your point of view, but I can't stick my head that far up my ass.

Silenced BR...awesome.

Regret is the domain of those who have earned the right to look back on the past. All I have is shame.

Halo wouldn't be the same without it.

BR>magnum>you.

I am an avid gamer with a passion to keep games fun and strategy provoking, rather than simply button mashing instant-reward games that plague the market nowadays. I'm not kind, but I'm rational, fair, and maybe, just maybe, somewhat intelligent.

I'm fairly certain they only added weapons.

hope the br is in there
havent seen any in the gameplay vids

BR is one of the most popular weapons in halo
heck there r even gamertags with br in em

As long as it's in Firefight...


I mean, the BR is meant to be a designated marksman's rifle. Like an M21, y'know? For popping off heads at range, but not as far as a sniper rifle. So, yeah, unless it's in a sniping level, there's no need for it to be in the campaign, really.

Assault rifle, on the other hand... Nah, that'd attract too much attention in a ghost town.

The new weapons are really sick, but it can't hurt having more, right?

imo
the br/ar is fielded like the m16/m4 in the marines
while not specifically a designated marksman rifle can be used as one

Self-proclaimed genius.
Roam the streets with a sign, "will love for false hope."

It doesn't matter to me either way. Everyone is probably sticking with the SMG and Magnum, anyway.

Besides, the Automag is a hacked BR. XD

I'd never replace an Assault Rifle with a Pistol, that's a stupid choice. but i understand how this is a game. Plus it's stupid for even ODST to use an SMG as they're small calibers. Even today's Spec Ops use Rifles fielding larger rounds than that of a 5mm x 23, that would theoretically have no stopping power.

The BR isn't designed as a Marksman weapon. That's what sniper rifles are for, besides marksmen don't use Burst. Your reasoning doesn't make any sense Have you ever shot an M21? I don't think so the BR fits in perfectly with every other Assault Rifle, like the M16

Hey Guys.

My Real GamerTag is XbL ShutDown.

The Pistol has replaced it.

The Battle Rifle is basically useless in ODST with the Silenced SMG and the New Pistol.

Spartans are from Venus and Elites are from Uranus

I don't care. Theres already a monster pistol so it's not like we'd be at much of a disadvantage with out it.

  • 06.05.2009 10:16 AM PDT

Noobs can't handle AR/Pistol Spawns.

I want it along side of the Pistol. =D
