Will the new pistol be a good replacement for the BR? Bungie said it is surprisingly powerful and one "guy" said it is even better than the Halo 1 Pistol.


Thoughts? Comments? Flames?

Well the BR isn't the answer to everything. Its nice to see it retired for this game. The Automag looks great.

I think I've had enough overpowered weapons with nearly unlimited ammo for one lifetime.

The BR is good and all, but those MLG Wannabes need to leave this game alone.

I think so. Also, your Silenced SMG has a scope for burst shooting as well... so you never know.

Oh dang! That man just ordered breakfast in the middle of my rap song!

When addressing the lack of BRage, Bungie said "once you get your hands on the automag, you'll forget all about your precious BR". So between the new SMG and pistol, we shouldn't really miss the BR.

"Anyone can give up it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's the true strength."

Well, if you really pay attention to Halo 3- The gameitself revolves around the BR. Which I think is no fun. With this pistol in-game, there will be a more variety of weapon choices and more use of a handgun. Just my opinion. Don't hurt me :(.

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

If it's anything like the Halo 1 pistol, which they said if we liked it we'll like this one, then ODST Pistol > BR.

Gamertag is a secret, it's linked, just hidden.

The pistol will own the Battle Rifle.

how can the magnum replace the Beam Rifle?

i can has cheez its?

Semi-Auto pistol whippin' goodness. Hot Damn!

I think it's cool that we won't have one. I mean, the BR is good and all, but I just don't see the need for one. We have the new Auto-Mag and an SMG(which both have scopes on them), so I can do without one.

You'll only get flamed for hating on the Halo:CE pistol, which is what this pistol is like. And since the supporters of the CE pistol vastly outdo supporters of the BR in both numbers and ferocity, you won't get flamed.

The Automag is everything the BR was in Halo 2. Weapon Glitches. No spread. Totally. XD

It may be overpowered but at least it's still legit. I heard Automag.

When all else fails...........I dont.

Meh, I guess it seems alright. It seems to shoot a steady and accurate stream of bullets. I dont know about the damage much, but I would imagine it is pretty good.

It's not being replaced... more like being put on the side.

  • 06.05.2009 7:28 PM PDT

Music is power.

The BR's been a great companion over the years, but I think it'll be cool to see the fallback weapon idea take a new form. I'm sure whatever we end up with is gonna be fun on a bun.

Yeah, confirmed that there's NO BR in the game. Urk said it's replacement is the Automag, which will be amazing. :)
Thats what she said

i myself am a big fan of the pistol in any of the halos so having it upgraded just further makes my liking of the pistol all the greater
