Some call me the Michael Schumacher of Warthogs.

This is easily the best news I've heard all day.

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.

This is great, I hate the BR. Now if only we could get it out of Matchmaking and shut up the MLG wannabes.


All you Bnet kids are the same. It is IMPOSSIBLE to remove the BR from Halo 3. And stop hating on the MLG community. Grow some bawls and then we'll talk.

BTW, I still love Halo 3 ODST, and I'm a 'MLG Wannabe.'

Wow? Seriously? You're pathetic, just accept that someone plays the game differently from you and move along. You don't have to be an ass about it. Anyway, even without a BR the pistol kills just as fast if not faster, meaning you might aswell be using a BR anyway.

None of you can believe that someone is allowed to enjoy the game by playing competitively.

What is up with everyone being so glad that they won't have to deal with MLG players using the BR in this game? Unless Firefight has a matchmaking option (or they are friends with an MLG player, which I doubt), then there's no possible way for them to meet them anyway!

He didn't say all of the MLG players, he said the wannabees. You know, the 'OMG BR NEEDZ SO MUCH SKILL IM PRO AND UR NOT CUZ I LIKE IT AND U DONT' kids. The wanabees, not the real players.

But either way, it was kinda cheap in campaign.

I love using the BR. Yet I'm considering pre-ordering this game, if not I'll buy it either way. So to bad for you Bnet kids.

Two movies you should watch: Fight Club and Pineapple Express

"Wait. What do you mean, it's dead?"
"If marijuana is not legal within the next five years I have no faith left in humanity, period. Everyone likes smoking weed. They have for thousands of years. They're not going to stop anytime soon. You know? It makes everything better. Makes food taste better, makes music better. It makes sex feel better for God's sake. It makes -blam!- movies better you know?"

I'm sure the BR will be back in Halo: Reach though. Besides, they mentioned another gun just as good as a BR but a bit more stealthy.

since the pistol and smg can both scope due to the hud, then one assumes that all weapons can now scope. making the AR, Pistol, and SMG more powerful than the BR and antiquating that abomination of Halo weapons.

I mean REALLY, no other spawning gun has EVER been THAT over powered, not even the halo 1 pistol was that bad.

You sure they didn't mean the pistol?

@ ArmoredTurkey
Lol, a scoped AR will be interesting...

Actually I went back to check and it said automag. So if that's short for automatic magnum then yeah, they are talking about the pistol. Hopefully we'll see a weapon as good or better than the BR though. =)

yeah like a silenced invisible spartan laser, Just like the ones in really laggy matches. you know, the ones where you have utterly no warning sound, light, or even the blast that kills you.

I got his sarcasm...one person has to implement sarcasm and then you get a pile of terrorist chipmunks crashing your party, not fun at all..

I don't see what the big deal is,MP with ODST is restricted to co-op stuff anyway...

I'm not a fan of removing features, but this isn't that big of an issue. However, it would be nice to at least have the possibility of getting a BR...

Generalize more, please. I am by no means an "MLG wannabe", but I prefer BR starts to AR starts. Halo will never lack a medium range weapon like the BR or the H1 pistol, so you can keep dreaming.

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

I don't mind either way. Halo is Halo regardless.

We're fine with that. We're just tired of guys trying to and usually succeeding at ruining our experience by trying to force every playlist to become only BRs and Snipers.

Hey Guys.

I am Founder of the group FireFight Custom Games
Another Great Group is New Mombasa Join them both :P

My Real GamerTag is XbL ShutDown.

MLG Wannabes?

MLG did nothing to Halo 3 other than a Matchmaking playlist and the MLG Gametypes/maps.

Also I really didnt see in the first place how it would work for MLG.

Firefight wouldnt work right for them.
