Why is it that half of the poster's in the HALO 3:ODST forum are so Anti-BR?

Yes MLG may have adopted this as their mainline weapon, but what's it to you... Does it really matter wether or not it appears in ODST, it's not like you are gonna get killed by it.

I would rather have too many guns rather than too little... And there are also some gamer's who prefer to go in all guns blazing rather than stealthilly, with sound suppresors etc. So the BR fits this 'All guns blazing Criteria perfectly',

In addition to this for Bungie to appeal to their whole fan base they will have to include a wide variety of guns to cater for all gaming types. Some will prefer to see actual gunfire with tracers than silenced bullets go whizing past your head with no tracers - and others will prefer this.

Lets stop this Halo on Halo violence and make peace today!

Love the BR! =] ...And of course the Pistol and the SMG.

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

We all know the BR's a good weapon but I would prefer if focus was shifted towards these new weapons

How I got Recon.

For me, it seems like it would defeat the purpose of a more stealth based game. Why would they give you a Silenced SMG and an Automag pistol if they had a BR? Just a thought, I could be wrong.

The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

They're not really new.They are basically modifications.Heck some Halo 2 weapons may be in the game (brute plasma).

It's not like we haven't seen the ODST without BR's before.

Doesn't really matter in the end though i guess,it's either in the game and we don't know about it.Or it's not.

I like the BR but I don't like how Halo 3 is completely based around it, we all know this is true. I for one do want it in ODST because you are fighting the Covenant and will need it for long range combat. It will be in the game by the way, it's a fact. I also don't want it to be in Halo 3: Reach because there are other weapons to use and that would make the BR the main weapon for three games in a row.

Modifications big enough to give them a different feel.

We're tired of it. It's annoying, too easy, and the least skillful gun in Halo! The ONLY gun that takes skill is the Plasma Pistol.. with NO melees.

Thanks For EVERYTHING Bungie!
-I made the "Bungie employee killtages/blooper videos. I'm glad Bungie enjoyed them. Much <3 Bungie!

I guess after seeing the new smg and pistol the community has finally put the br madness aside. It's about time.

Fish<><

I think the reasoning behind Bungie not showing the BR in all of the previews for ODST is because they do want to focus on the new weapons rather than the old weapons. I am beyond positive that the BR will make a presence in this game. It is too Halo and beloved to be thrown out.
I do not think it will have such a big role in the campaign for the reason being that they are pushing towards the more stealthy and slick approach. But it will probably pop up alot in the firefight mode.

Agreed. The BR takes no skill. Point, pull trigger 4 times, done.

Maybe consider it a weapon you can pick up then rather than a starting weapon?

You can still keep the main focus on the Pistol and SMG.

Perhaps its because of the fact the ultra-BR fans went loony when they couldn't see the BR in the Halo 3:ODST trailer?

If you don't know who I am, the feeling is mutual.

The problem is, the BR is the ultimate weapon. Why would you use a different gun if the BR is so amazing?

Not only that, but BR users always whine about when people are intelligent and counter it with an AR.

People are not anti-br they are anti-what the BR spawned

MLG attitude
BXR and other BR related glitches
The shifting of what bungie considered the perfect starting weapon to a weapon that in the correct hands is a power weapon.




the BR is a great weapon, but with it comes alot of rude people, cheating, and unbalance.

Does that mean the Sniper takes no skill because it's a one shot kill?

I don't know why there's all this hostility either. I mean There's no other rifle in the Halo series that we would have. Imagine the US not using anymore Assault Rifles any more. (By assault rifles I mean rifles like the XM8, HK416, M16, not the Halo 3 AR) It'd be stupid, they're more efficient at what they do.

But still yet this is not related to ODST, as you will not become victim to it's power, the enemy will, and if you don't want to use it because you feel it is deemed a 'Power Weapon' , you still have your trusty upgraded Pistol and SMG.

The BR basically is point, pull, dead. Why bother playing? Also, I once killed 2 people with one shot in SWAT. 1 bullet in the first guy, 2 in the guy behind him. OVERPOWERED!
