i love how all the nubs are getting their panties in a knot about the br and saying that good mlg players are useless without the br

this is not true it only appeas to be true because its the most skilled weapon and its the most versatile but if u went back to halo 2 all of the mlg pros were forced to use otherweapons because they did not have forge so plz shut it before u make dumb posts


I beg to differ. In Halo 2, you simply changed the weapon set on the map and VOILA! No more "otherweapons"! I don't think it would be MLG if there were machine guns lying around the maps, now would it?

In halo 2 and 3 the BR replaced the ULTRA PWNAGE PISTOL OF DOOM and now the ULTRA PWNAGE PISTOL OF DOOM has decided to smite the BR and take backs it's rightful place in the halo universe.
Dream on. This pistol is based on the M6C from Halo 2, which had laughable power. Hardly a "ULTRA PWNAGE PISTOL OF DOOM".

*AHEM* The pistol in Halo 2 was called the M6D, and was down-graded massively, it also could not zoom in. Did you even play Halo 1? The M6C was the massive BR-rivalling pistol, loved by all, and it was very much so an "ULTRA PWNAGE PISTOL OF DOOM".
Yes, I have played Halo 1, probably more so than you have. The pistol in Halo 1 was called the M6D.

In Halo 2, Battle Rifle replaced the M6D. The pistol in Halo 2 was called the M6C

In Halo 3 ODST, the pistol is called the M6C/SOCOM It is based off the M6C from Halo 2, which had laughable power.

Just because the gun has a scope doesn't make it the same as the M6D.

Team Slayer: 48
Team Doubles: 46
Team SWAT: 46
MLG: 45
Team Snipers: 43
Squad Battle: 37

If I want to use the BR i'll just pop in my Halo 3 multiplayer disc. Having no BR in the campaign makes the game less familiar for me and I enjor getting used to a new game. It would be boring if Bungie just made the same type of game over and over again.

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!


yea except you're forgetting you cant dual wield in ODST

Fine, you win this logic battle, but only because I can't remember things at the moment. That is why I got confused with the letters, the same way the MA5B Assault rifle changed to the MA5C. It is 02:18 in the morning here. *Snoozes* I still think it will be more like the M6D though, it just doesn't make sense for them to change the letter back to the original.

EDIT: I read this quote. I think it proves my point about damage levels.

"It's rate of fire is similar to the original M6C, though appears to do far more damage than it's infantry counterpart due to its utilization of the M225 Semi-Armor-Piercing High-Explosive, a similar ammunition used by the M6D pistol."

ppl are freaking out b/c it makes no sense that the entire city of new mombassa is completely devoid of battle rifles.

and why would MLG complain?? There's no PvP in ODST anyways. they'd still be playing halo 3.


And you're literally freakng out? Wow.

So, when the AR was taken out of Halo 2, everything was fine, and now the BR has been taken out of ODST, people are crying. You haven't even playing the -blam!- game yet you idiot, at least see if you like the new SMG and Pistol before you going shedding tears over it.

Tell me, what is the massive problem with it not being there?

Well BR is in multiplayer still.

Vancouver BC, Canada.

Because the BR is the only weapon most people can't play without.

  • 06.11.2009 5:43 PM PDT

I dont really give a damn, Im gonna be as stealh as possible. I'm usually as stealth as you can possibly be in games like Halo, and Call Of Duty, because nobody ever expects it.

  • 06.11.2009 5:58 PM PDT

u wana know what they'll be wielding? they'll be wielding other wepons such as ; smg, sniper rifle, assault rifle and the classic wepon of rasberry pie

its only the MLG players who are complaining.


It's only the people that are true nerds that think they have a real life say something like that.

Well seriously, not JUST MLG players are the ones complaining. I am, a little bit. :P

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.

its pink
anyway ilike the br but ill take an automag anyday

  • 08.05.2009 6:32 PM PDT

-KOS-

I'll enjoy using the Carbine as my staple gun unless the pistol packs a bigger punch.

Why does it have to make sense? I think the change of pace implided by a different weapon setup will be refreshing.

and why would MLG complain?? There's no PvP in ODST anyways. they'd still be playing halo 3.
While I can't speak for anyone in MLG, I believe it kinda ignorant to assume no one in it will play the ODST campaign. If Bungie had taken out my favorite weapon, I'd probably be a bit disappointed too. Its kinda like saying " No, you cannot play too. "

On the other hand, Halo has always been a game about adapting to rapidly changing battlefields. If one can't do this, why in the hell are they playing? Besides, as many others have said, forcing you to rely on ALL of the weapons will certaining make combat senarios more interesting.

Just saying, I can see both sides of the argument. However, I don't really see why there is one at all. Not like you can DO anything about it. Why complain? Bungie's not gonna decide, this close to release, " Oh hey, a minority doesn't like a designe choice, lets go back and start from scratch." They are CLEARLY trying to recapture that old Halo CE feel. Live with it, guys.

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.


ARs and smgs probably.

I don't know why people are freaking out. They shouldn't be, it's one weapon. Yes, the most popular weapon probably in all of gaming, but Bungie intended for it to not be in this game. Hence "strong and silent", both the SMG and the Automag are sound suppressed weapons. SMG to Automag Combo will work great for me!

The battle rifle is one of the classics! How can they take it out!

Shut up and get behind me... Sir!

The cable. I'm going to cut it.

Awesomeness would ensue.

Seems to be dropping Grunts just as quickly as the good ol' M6D did.

Granted, not the strongest choice for when you want to go one-on-one with a Brute, but then again, I rarely did that with the Elites.
