Call me Daddy

Yup no more BR. :[ But once again the pistol has a scope and hey, they updated the SMG to have a scope on it too. :] can't wait.

All I ask is that you don't try to capture me.

The amount of BR/MLG hate in this thread is repulsive and disheartening. Get over yourselves.

As long as the SMG/pistol balance out mid-range combat, I'm fine with no BR in ODST. My question is: what are all your marine allies gonna be wielding? Useless MA5Cs or default M7s?

New Pistol = Halo 1 Pistol > BR

I don't really care about the BR either way, but I'm pretty surprised at the huge amount of hate its getting. I hate wannabe MLG players as much as anyone, but I thought the BR was just another weapon.

I will stop hating MLG once they stop hating everybody who doesn't abide by their game play standards.

I didn't want to believe it myself, but this game really has evolved into spray and pray city.

BR is my fav weapon, but it gets boring, as everyone uses it.

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

Woo no BR!

This kinda bothers me, but at least the pistol can try to replace it for the purposes of this game. The problem here is that an ODST is seen wielding a carbine in one of the gameplay trailers yet there won't be a BR. I see myself getting better with the carbine pretty soon.

I'm a little late on this but i'm pretty sure that "QFT" stands for Quit-F***ing-Talking.
Am I correct HyperDamage?

Ding Dong, the BR's dead! (in ODST at least)

No you.
And halo 3 has turned into one weapon city

Were it so easy.

I like the BR, but hate it's overrated-ness and fanboys.

ODST doesn't need it to be a great game extension!

Since when does the Beam Rifle have fan boys? =)

I love the battle rifle. And I play Halo competitively. But I think it is time to just play the game casually with ODST. Can't wait. Still kind wish the BR was there. But the Pistol is going to rock.

I am also surprised. Some people just get sick of getting pwned I guess. Lol.

90% of teens today would die if Myspace was completely destroyed. If you are one of the 10% that would be laughing, copy and paste this to your signature.

I enjoy the BR, I won't lie. I personally don't really care that they removed it, though. I'm liking the new SMG and Pistol anyways. Good stuff.

  • 06.05.2009 9:38 PM PDT

I never minded the Battle Rifle, but a change of weapon array is good. It just presents a nice change of pace, having different weapons on your screen.

  • 06.05.2009 9:39 PM PDT

I died once...I respawned 5 seconds later, seeking revenge!!!

im a little disappointed, i would have rathered seen the BR reworked rather than just outright cut, now here's to hoping that the new pistol is as awesome as the previews show without being as overly dominating as the BR its replacing

Eat raw meat.
Punch a bear in the face.


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

Hurray! Now other weapons can get a chance to shine... wait, -blam!- I forgot about the Automag.

Oh well, hopefully people try to broaden their horizons with the Halo 3 Weapon Sandbox. I think I'll be sassy and use Covenent weapons, or an AR...
