well the reason why halo 2 had make the BR is so it can be the quilivelent of the Halo CE magnum so since ODST has the Auto Mag then there shouldnt be a BR...you can never have both of everything you know....=}

No BR? Suicide is the only option!

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

I totally agree with you.

I really couldn't care about the fact that there's no battle rifle in ODST. I'm not saying the BR sucks or anything, I just want to try something new.

I have actually forsaken the BR in Halo 3 matchmaking in favor of any other weapon at hand Preferably the SMG. I just find that i use it too much and it makes the games lack variety. I have actually had a LOT more fun since the switch. Just imagine the face of the super MLG fanatics as they get PWND by an SMG as they have a BR. It is priceless.

~Wile~

cause we're fans. But hey, ODST brings with it the long awaited return of the Halo 1 pistol! (or close to it) Suck that down unbelievers! HA HA HA!

  • 08.05.2009 9:26 PM PDT

It would have been nice to have the option, but I ain't losing any sleep over it.

  • 08.05.2009 9:30 PM PDT

I like the sniper.

  • 08.05.2009 9:34 PM PDT

Holla bip bip!!

I'm not an MLG fanboy/player and I dislike the choice to remove the BR. It's in a class of it's own. Carbine doesn't count as a BR.

But I'm not whining that much because this game has no odst multiplayer.

I enjoy the absence of the Battle Rifle.

Me too.

I second that.

i like the battle rifle, but i can see that without it we will have to explore new ways to kill things.

Quite. It would grow tiresome if it were automatically the same combat techniques as Halo 3.

Regret is the domain of those who have earned the right to look back on the past. All I have is shame.

I was actually pissed off that the BR was taken out of ODST. It has been my fave gun ever since I started playing, and I might join MLG so yeah. The new mag looks cool, but I'd spend an additional 50 dollars just for my ODST to have the BR.

Uh, it does. The Automag is Campaign only. The Battle Rifle stays in the Halo 3 multiplayer component/disc.

  • 08.06.2009 12:09 AM PDT

Oh. my. god. ITS THE HALO 3 RIFLE! BLARRRRG! *kills self*

I think that's what will happen if there was a battle rifle in ODST.

  • 08.06.2009 12:10 AM PDT

I miss Halo. Maybe Halo 4 will change that.

Edit: Lol nope

The game has no online anyways so they won't be out BR'ing anyone.

Im a Bungie veteran. I have and always will serve them well.

Its not that big of a deal if there isn't a battle rifle. Honestly, I know its the main weapon to go too but think of it this way....Halo Reach will not have a BR (most likely). Its almost like a prep for Reach when it comes out.

-blam!- the br it was too key of a weapon the only wepon u really needed now that its gone people will most likely use a larger arsenal of all halo weapons and not just a single weapon.
