Mlg fanatics. What else can they do?
I didn't know that this kind of people played Campaign?

  • 06.08.2009 11:09 AM PDT

DO WORK.

if 1+1=2, then are muffins better than pancakes?

The BR absence won't matter cuz its campaign. And everybody who wants a BR isn't an MLG fanbody, but the internet will always be full of idiots. LIke me =P

People be freaking out about the BR because that is the only weapon they know how to use. when they go to duel wield and try to shoot with the weapon in their left hand they dont know how because the left trigger is something new to them a mystery and they be scared! I love the BR but it will be fun to get away from it and try something new and that new pistol looks bad ars
yea!

For the same reason some people complain about no Sniper on Standoff or some other weapon not being on another map.

Some people just suck when they dont have a certain weapon in there hands. that is why they are complaining in my opinion.

For a BR no way!

  • 06.08.2009 2:30 PM PDT

I'm pretty sure there is a battle rifle in the game, it's just not taken a big roll in the trailers so far as they are showing the new weapons off.

MLG players are probably turning their BR's onto themselves * OH WAIT, NO BR's!* hahaha

Yeah like some said before, who cares for a BR when the pistol is made of win loaded with win sauce. mmmm win sauce.

There isn't any adversarial multiplayer in ODST, so why would MLG care if the BR is removed from the new campaign/firefight? Not to mention that they have been asking for the return of a semi-auto scoped pistol since the release of Halo 2.

The interesting thing about all of you who are criticizing MLG for taking a predisposed liking to the battle rifle is that your arguments are based solely on projection.

Why should MLG care whether there is a battle rifle in ODST when it doesn't even feature a competitive multiplayer component? Yeah, Firefight is technically competitive, but not in the same sense as past Halo games. Here's the deal:

Subconsciously, anti-MLG players seem want to stir up trouble with their more competitive counterparts, so they provoke conflict by emphasizing their support of anything that they think MLG players might not support (and visa-versa). The problem here is that the two sides both tend to enter into any argument swinging wildly, automatically assuming that every member of the other group is a hater, flamer, and generally distasteful individual.

It's time to grow up, people. There's no reason to create conflict where it isn't warranted, and disagreements over weapon choices in a video game certainly isn't worth throwing fists over. Yes, it might be a perfectly viable point of discussion worthy of debate, but that's not what I see here. What I see is two groups spending more time trying to make each other angry than providing actual thought and contemplation to an otherwise perfectly worthwhile debate.

Remember that it takes two to have an argument. If everyone continues to become personally offended by these forum posts and spends their time trying to get back at their perceived "enemies," these threads will continue to be thinly-disguised flame wars. So stop it. You guys are better than that.
I'm about to give up on these forums, there's way too many idiots roaming around that can't talk like a normal human being.

omfg no br wut am i gunna do nao?!

I'm stoked. The BR is such a powerful weapon that you pretty much have to use it. Plus, it is pretty easy to use against the Covenant. The bad ass pistol will be more of a challenge to use and adds a layer of excitement for me, personally.

And its not like the BR is disappearing from MM, so calm down.

I'm sure MLG cares a whole lot about the fact that the BR isn't going to be in a campaign expansion

/sarcasm

Honestly though, the BR will still be in multiplayer considering the multiplayer is literally Halo 3's online with absolutely nothing changed. Unless MLG started some major campaign competitions that I know nothing about, I doubt they will lose any sleep over this.

On a personal note, it doesn't bother me in the least. I love the SMG and the Carbine will still be present, so there isn't anything major lost here.

http://www.bungie.net/fanclub/338368/Group/GroupHome.aspx Join us, stop them.

They seem to be freaking out over it because they are not true warriors and train to use all weapons in their reach, They only use what the Defult setup is and that is, Oh yeah, BR and pistol. People Who Play for fun are better because they use just about every weapon, Sure there are some guns I dont like, *cough* missle pod *cough* but I can still shoot down a hornet with out it, Unlike many MLG players i find online who go strait for it when they hear the "Thunk Thunk Thunk, BOOM" of a hornets chainguns and missles on Valhalla. Better yet, They yell at people when you snip them, "OMG your a -blam-ing haxor." Even though Haxor is not a word people still say it. I just say "Oh man that was a nice shot," or "Hey you! go run out there." to find out where people are hiding...

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

I doubt there will be NO BRs, but the Carbine and M6C Socom should BOTH be better anyway.

Typical Halo nerd. Move along.

ODST's are notorious for their SMG and Battle Rifle. Why would Bungie do that?
