Its just a weapon that, to me, is not all that great. And if the Automag(new pistol) is as good as the videos show there should be no problem with getting head-shots on grunts and jackals.

I enjoy the absence of the Battle Rifle.

“Strange,” mused the Director, as they turned away, “strange to think that even in Our Ford’s day most games were played without more apparatus than a ball or two and a few sticks and perhaps a bit of netting. imagine the folly of allowing people to play elaborate games which do nothing whatever to increase consumption.”

The last time I tried to make a quote, a car smashed through my wall and the tire hit my grandmother in the other room. But for those of you who can haz once more between five, I say it will be five between seven divided by zero multiplied by Chick Norass and Broce Tee.

No BR? Suicide is the only option!

Why complain? True MLG players cared more for the Halo`CE Pistol than the Battle Rifle.

Indeed they did. Personally, the Handcannon/Mini-Sniper Rifle/Toaster is much better than the glorified bullet hose.

Tacos rule!

I do not see why everyone is making such a big deal. We get the Carbine. It is basically the same, but it looks cooler and shoots faster. And is purple.

My Snipe Gets More Head Than You!!

actually in one of the trialers, the odst is holding a br

You are only as sharp as your knife

I'm good with the battle rifle, but it is a welcome change to see the shift in power to a gun that shunned out in halo 3. plus I always like the SMG. Carbine is better than BR anyway.

  • 06.08.2009 8:00 AM PDT

its the stupid mlg kids who touch themselves to the br. they think theyre pro becuase theyre good with one weapon. they can cry and go play H2 again. sorry i had to rant

  • 06.08.2009 8:06 AM PDT

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

I don't see anyone freaking out over no BR. All I see is people constantly flaming MLG for no apparent reason.

The BR has been a staple weapon of the past 2 Halo games. It's fine to remove it for players since it's replaced by the new weapons. However, now that we've gotten rid of it, what are all our marine friends gonna be wielding? SMGs? Oh, that'll be a big help.

No, a pistol made entirely of pure win.

Sorry MLG. You must be sad. :(

It is mostly Mlg fans that will be complaining about the loss of the Battle Rifle. There is still the new pistol. Mlg will have to keep their br's only in Halo 3.

So true, also ODST doesn't alter anything with the Halo 3 multiplayer experience that MLG is based around. You get the pistol in ODST campaign and Firefight, it's not like the BR is disappearing from multiplayer. If they put the pistol into multiplayer true MLG fans would be super amped, but that's not happening.

Never give up, never surrender!

The only people you will be killing are AI controlled opponents so their is really no need for the BR.Besides without the BR people will become more creative in the ways they kill brutes,grunts,jackals and so on.

I hate to admit it, but I will be laughing extremely hard when you guys find out that the pistol isn't as amazing as you all think it will be.

There will be no three-shotting chieftains.

I honestly hope it isn't the awesome weapon that people make it out to be. The videos say it is not All powerful. you use it for headshots only, taking on a shielded enemy with only a pistol is suicide.

NO GROUP INVITES!!!

Carbine is still in. It was allways the better one anyways.

Yeah... Automag (it's called such even though you need to pull trigger for each shot) sort of replaces BR, along with M7S as it has scope too (AT LAST! Automatic weapon with a scope!)

I understood that Automag is quite fast and accurate but lacks punch (compared to M6D and G)
So it'd be a headshot weapon. Me, i'm probably going drop Automag in favor of BPR and use it to drop shields and M7S deals with the rest.
