Subject: Why so Anti-BR?

May the Forge be with you.

I can easily snipe you, but not as easily shotgun you.


You can only "easily" snipe someone if you know how to aim. You can't tell me that it's a lot harder to kill someone with the shotgun up close than it is with the sniper from long range.

Of course, our definitions of skill in a FPS differ: you think of it as how well you can do when both players have the same chance of winning. I think of it as how well you can aim.

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.”

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

There isn't anything totally special about the BR; keep it out of ODST.

"Why? What did Will ever do to you?"

The BR dominates everything on Halo Matchmaking. It's virtually impossible to catch up after playing for while without using a BR. It's just a fact. And you what? After a while, it just gets boring.

I like the BR. I have nothing against the BR per se. I'll welcome a change of pace with ODST and Firefight, though, while still playing Halo.

Come get some.

This is idiotic. The Battle Rifle should be in ODST. I'm not going to get into a discussion about how powerful the weapon is, because it is freakin' irrelevant! You are not playing agaisnt other people, you're playing against the Covenant- so it doesn't matter if you don't use it. All you'll be doing is limiting yourself at medium range.

The Battle Rifle is a standard issue, UNSC rifle. So, in regards to the canon, it should most certainly be in the game. I mean, if it wasn't there...it would just screw -blam!- up from a lore perspective.

I think that the BR will definitely make an appearance, but it will be strongly discouraged (hence the element of stealth). Basically, the BR is going to become a last resort (no pun intended) weapon.

how is the br a noob weapon when its harder to aim than all the other spray and pray weapons. its focus is on precision and steady aim. does it take more skill to control the burst, lead your targets, and maintain a headshot, or spray like a madman and follow up with a beatdown.
and its odst btw if u dont like, it dont use it.
how come you dont want it in a game where its coop and it can benefit you at mid range battles?
also the pistol is great but i dont think it can take down shields as fast as a br

Never Back Down.

Erm Would you want to hear a BR going off While trying to shoot brutes?

  • 06.04.2009 11:06 PM PDT

The first thing everyone goes for is the BR. Halo's "feel" has changed significantly since it's introduction. It get's old. and if ODST didn't have it i wouldn't mind.

U are the lowest kind of human scum and you desirve to be shot.

go kill yourself and do the world a faver

If there is no BR in ODST, I will be dissapointed to say the least.

Why on earth would you object to a weapon (let alone the Halo 3 fan favorite) being included? If you don't like it stick with your pistol and "SUPER" SMG.

  • 06.04.2009 11:19 PM PDT

I say, WHO CARES!?!?!? There is no ODST multiplayer anyways, just firefight, but will the BR make that much of a difference in firefight than the Pistol? I think not.

I am going to lube your butt hole with nacho cheese and -blam!- you with a crowbar.

I hope there are more mid range weapons. A lot of short range and a handful of medium.

BR users r normally noobs who think there so badass becuase they can 4shot an enemy with an overpowered weapon


Please, listen to yourself. This is not a Multiplayer discussion its a campaign discussion. Your "point" holds no relevance.

I suppose everyone here would be fine if there were no rockets, no assault rifle, no turret or warthogs only automag and pistol. Putting up a fit about someone picking up a BR because it's THEIR preferred weapon get over yourself.

  • 06.04.2009 11:26 PM PDT

Guys maybe the Battle Rifle hasn't been shown is because they are adding an adjustment to it like the SMG. Since ODST is only single player and firefight i doubt they care if they make a weapon overpowered in relation to the multiplayer version. So its definitly possible we might see some kinda even more powerful BR in odst.
