I would have preferred ODST to have included the BR solely because Im a freak when it comes to consistency, and the concept of marines widely using battle rifles in Halo 2 and then mysteriously abandoning them in this game is kind of irritating (Like they did with the AR and the magnum from CE to Halo 2). Granted Im not attached to the weapon itself, and I was actually planning on never picking it up anyways in favor of the amazing pistol, but still that consistency element remains...

Don't take life too seriously, no one gets out alive anyway.

Drink up baby, stay up all night.
With the things you could do, you won't but you might.
The potential you'll be, but you'll never see.
The promises you'll only make.

They were supposed to board a Covenant ship where most of the battles would be CQB. Therefor they are armed with silenced SMG and pistols.

Even though there were marines and the New Mombosa police in the city before the jump, I think they would issue the AR instead of the BR.

Yeah that makes sense. I was just basing my assumption on the other random marines the player interacts with in flashbacks. Very minor issue and like I said I don't particularly see it as a loss, just wondering =)

I don't care if it was in there or not. I was planning on using that new SMG and Magnum anyway. :)
Yeah, who would use the BR when you have those now?

I liked using the BR is the Halo2 and Halo3 campaign. It will be weird playing without it. But we will probably have a lot of cool new weapons in odst so it should be worth it.

Ha. Now everyone hates the BR?

I think this is stupid. Once again the artists at Bungie decide we don't want nor we should use a weapon the original H3 has.

Well this doesn't break the game. As long as I got my Carbine.


The consistency is thrown into corner like said above. Not good with a "series"

Ya, you get your carbine. We're all glad because most of us hate MLG. And MLG loves BRs. Probably, no BRs, no MLG, more fun.

I like the BR, but that doesn't make me hate ODST. Cool, now we'll be back to the old Halo times.

I want to play it NAO!!!1!!11!!!one hundred and eleven!!!!11

Sweet. No BR FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



BR is not bad at all, its just that I hope i see posts on the fourms after ODST comes out saying "OMGZ GAEM IS 2 HARD NEEDZ BR 2 BEE PRO". I really don't know if those MLG wannabes know how to use another weapon other then a BR.

Your friendly and eccentric Sangheili forum-poster. :)

Ah well. I was hoping for a modified Battle Rifle though, like the SMG and Pistol. I wonder if we'll get a modified Assault Rifle?

I aready miss the BR :-(

I don't see why everyone is giving remarks about MLG, it's not like MLG do campaign run through tournaments or whatever.

And btw, I have nill care for MLG, mainly because I can't be bothered all to much with Halo 3 these days... or the 360 for that matter, I'm a bit under financially and so it might be a couple of weeks until I can get Red Faction, etc.

Rule 6: Respect the Admins

“It’s their website, and they can do whatever the hell they like with it. You’re a guest, and hassling them about how they run things is akin to going round your Auntie’s house and curling one out in her tea-pot.”

That is because your getting a pistol that is stronger in each individual shot, faster rate of fire, silenced, same scope as a BR, and about the same amount of shots. and as an added bonus it is easier to conceal.

In all honesty the battle rifle is completely dwarfed by the new pistol.

How is campaign MLG? I don't think we hear anyone complaining about n00bz in Firefight either. It's like the days MLG fans only played split screen - no one cared

I'm just wondering because in this place 8/10 used to say BR rocks. Now it's like a curse. I like the BR for the option and consistency.

If we have 2 Plasma rifles, BR wouldn't be useless either... Actually do we get the Blue Plasma rifle? I haven't seen 1.
