Subject: No BR, get over the 'hype' BR haters

so this guy is ignorant, he just started a thread because he read the weekly update and as soon as he saw that they were taking the BR out he came an started this thread without even reading anyother information. When he started this he had no idea that it was only being excluded from ODST campaign and firefight. although the whole bit about the hardcore community made him look like a donkeys bottom, you guys dont need to flame the crap out of this thread for it.....

There is no greater catharsis than arguing on the Flood.

It's kind of funny how he's saying all the "BR haters" are acting like a bunch of kids while I'm reading a bunch of threads with people complaining about it.

As long as I can use my fists I wouldn't care if they took out all weapons.

I don't think you quite get it. What Bungie are doing, is removing a skilled weapon, and replacing them with overpowered superweapons for ease of play, catering for the little kids that shouldn't even be playing halo, and completely ignoring the hardcore community.
Haha you better be joking with this. How is a pistol that has no ability to remove a shield and an smg that can't shoot far range super weapons compared to the BR. Lets make a comparison shall we. The new pistol has a zoom just like a BR most likely does not have as much range because well it's a pistol and has a shorter barrel than a rifle and finally it is extremely weak against shields like the Halo 2 pistol unlike the Br which can take down shields in 4 bursts so in comparison the BR wins. Now for the silenced SMG it has a zoom just like the BR but unlike the Br is only accurate at close to medium close range, it may have a higher rate of fire but it's bullets are weaker again the BR wins. Your calling these new weapons super weapons compared to the BR when actually the BR was the super weapon if you want a skilled weapon use the new automag that weapon will take some skill.

MLG ruins games anyhow... being good at a game is one thing, even getting paid to play is another, but MLG? People take it WAY too seriosly and basically makes it another job.

And I love the BR, but I absolutely love all (most) of the other weapons. 'Sides, there's no "ODST multiplayer," so why does it matter?

Really? So by Overpowered Super weapons, you mean the SMG is like a automatic missile launcher? If thats the case, talk about throwing the the little realism in Halo out a window. If not, well I'll edit that post [HERE]


Either way I'm not buying it, tired of giving bungie my money and tired of a game that was great in 1991 whan Halo 1 was out,and now is being used as a tool for marketing.

FAIL. Halo 1 was released 2001, not 1991. I'm not sure if the Xbox was even around back then. Halo 3 is still great. Most people I ask why they don't like Halo 3 is "I can't lay down a bouncy betty where it is impossible to see from the other side and get an easy kill" or something similar. The only reason Halo 3 has a really short story mode is probably because they wanted to focus on the multiplayer, which is great. It would be even better if there was a way to keep cheaters out, but, that would take servers and several other things.

  • 06.06.2009 3:05 PM PDT

They're bringout out a pretty boss pistol like Halo 1's though! Ahhh the good ole days :D I think it might even be even more "skilled" then the BR cause it can fire just as quick as you can pull the trigger, plus can scope in and do headshots

VV()()7 no br,
see what i did there, the br is second on my ToD and i stil am celebrating the lack of it.

The Battle Rifle is my main tool of destruction, and I'll throw a party to celebrate the return of the Halo 2 pistol. Well, a combination of the Halo 1 and 2 Pistol, ha.

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

People are already complaining about there is no BR ,when they haven't tested with the automag or the smg themselfs, that made me chuckle. And it's in the campaign, why does everyone care? Now only if the br is removed from the multiplayer, that would make me really happy... because those ignorant mlg wannabe's ruined this game with the br.

seriously, is all the MLG hatred necessary? i was reading thru that confirmed:no BR in H3ODST thread and the amount of MLG flaming was atrocious. honestly people, how old are we? five, six, four? as far as we know the carbine, which is analogous to the BR, is still there, so quit acting like you never have to deal with a BR or anything ever again. i doubt you will never play halos regular multiplayer ever again...

also, it isnt an AUTOMAG!!!! it fires AS FAST AS YOU CAN PULL THE TRIGGER! that=/=automatic.

ok, im done.


I hate MLG for a lot of reasons. But I won't get into that.

Yeah, it's just campaign and firefight, so I don't see what the big deal is. Plus, they added back the Halo: CE pistol!

It's weaker than the Halo: CE pistol but it fires faster. Besides they both aren't even close to being as powerful as the BR. The BR out ranges them both and has more firepower(does more damage).

It's weaker and has less range but it does fire quite fast and has a scope so still no but it's better than the other pistol.

What I find hilarious is that there is so much MLG hate, when most of the MLG community doesn't give a damn about firefight and campaign.

how is bungie adding "super weapons?"

IMO, the only thing they did was take out a BR. so?

we have a new pistol to be a replacement, and i think it'll be a decent if not better alternative to it.

you can even look at my TOD, the BR is second, i like it, but i can do without it.

Wow sorry for not knowing the correct date of a video game release, I'll go jump off a building now seeing how I FAIL at life, I guess a life as a Tracuer, and artist, and a Film maker isn't worth it. (bull)

"Halo 3 is still great" says the guy who probably plays to much and is to nieve (bad spelling wahhhh!!!!) to realize the flaws in it.

I don't like Halo, not because of gameplay, but because of people like you, who take the game to seriously and put people down (or insulting, making fun of, or being rude) who either are trying to have fun or not giving an honest damn (which I am part of)

And where did I ask about storyline, please refer to my post

Read slowly then tell me if I asked about storyline

Now on to the actual point of this thread, and read comments on other pages,

PS yerfdog1935 if you got a problem with what I just said, feel free to pm me so we can discuss this later.

Wow, I leave for a couple of hours and this turns into another Bungie kid v. MLG kid flame war. Oh, the humanity!

None of this is necessary, especially considering MLG does not give a rat's ass about co-operative play. As was stated by an MLG kid. I tend to agree with true MLG kids. Not the MLG wannabes, but the true fans of competitive gaming that actually know what they are talking about. Not those a-holes that are like "BR r teh roxors" and "ARZ R FOR DA NOOBZ". I don't care about these people. I don't care about the MLG v. Bungie crap. Bungie and MLG don't have a problem with eachother, why do people on these forums care to make some ridiculous argument. over this crap. True MLG fans aren't really bad. It's these morons that think MLG is the only way to play that are the problem. These guys are not true fans. The true fans realize everyone is going to have a different opinion and are actually mature enough to accept it. I've played these guys. I dominated these guys, and vice versa, and always with a smile on our faces.

I once considered myself one of the "Bungie kids". But after reading 4 pages of these guys making fools of themselves I'm ashamed to call myself that.

And for the love of Christ, if you are going to argue about something this should be "BR obsessed idiots" v. "people who don't really care if the BR is there or not", not MLG v. Bungie. All the Bungie fans, get the f over yourselves. All the MLG wannabes, same to you. I'm out.

It doesn't matter if the hardcore community think the hardcore community is better, no one gives a blam!. If there's less of the hardcore community, then the hardcore community is a minority, and the hardcore community need to understand this. Bungie is a company, and they will cater to who they can sell the most content to, while trying to cater also to their fans. And if you want to talk about superweapons, you can start with the BR. The inclusion of powerful weapons is most likely because you play as an ODST, and you are weaker. This can also explain the inclusion of the Brute Plasma Rifle, which is stronger than the regular variant. You need to have weapons that play into your advantages-in this case, weapons that have a better range, and are silenced, instead of Master Chief get-up close weapons.

All in all, Bungie decided to take a break from a over-used weapon and put in a new version of a classic (which I've seen the hardcore community asking for quite a lot) as well as a new variant of another classic. I don't see the point in removing it, but maybe they just wanted to take a break from it. Either way, I'm sure they had some educated reasoning. ALSO, anyone acting like this is some victory for people who hate competitive players is an idiot. I could see a bunch of people getting fired up if it was taken out of MM, but seriously, if it's not in ODST, all that is happening is you are losing diversity. It's not like at any point in ODST a BR would be firing at you. So, please guys, stop flaming the competitive branch, and likewise to the competitive players. You're all over-reacting over nothing but a single weapon in a cooperative game. Jeez.

If you want to know the best tips for playing halo Reach.
Look no further than Winter Contingency

Posted by: Assault
I am glad there is no BR. It'll make all of the "PRO'S" use a different weapon for once. And if you are really "PRO" you don't need to use the BR all the time
Thats what i think. If people were really good at halo they could get kills with anything. I usually just use the BR for long range and if I get attacked by surprise I'll use which ever weapon I have out but i'd use the AR if I could. And if your a first generation (as in since halo CE,and yes I'm calling it first generation) halo player like me you got by with the MA5B (CE AR) and the trusty magnum. Anyway real pros can use any weapon to win(I usually can) and H3odst will be kinda like Halo CE.

Also I love the BR and The AR even more both are essential elements of halo and they're won't be any BR's In reach as they weren't used then.

Huh let me think about it this way... I snip' people, BR doesnt get the same range as any of the snipers... I drive people around, A BR is always set to Simi-auto(yeah look very closely at it and ye will see that it can go Full-Auto as well as Simi, it also has a safety[for those whom should not be playing]*points at five, six, four year olds who ruined online*) ...So I use anything that shoots faster than Three Rounds a sec... Wait, thats like every gun in the game other than the human sniper...
