Hello! I'm a male!

no br? still =/ everyone ganna use the magnum/carbine with grenades ..... they just don't have the burst shot .... same tactics _throw grenade then open fire with the medium range weapons- ..... just because they don't have that burst option just means they have to be a little more accurate with the single shot weapons ..... or everyone will just snipe >.< doesn't change a single thing

Voilà!In view,a humble vaudevillian veteran,cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate.This visage, no mere veneer of vanity,is a vestige of the vox populi,now vacant, vanished.However,this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation,stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.

No BR? Suicide is the only option!

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

yea I would love to have the old Halo CE pistol back but this one is nice too

Same here. The new weapons look good.

I'm 23, I have a house, dog, girlfriend, job and I have no interest in any fanboyism so if you're thinking about sending me a childish PM, don't be surprised when I don't call back.

Ok so this isn't an adversial game? the entire game is co-op? so who cares if you believe it to be overpowered? marines defending earth from total destruction WITHOUT a powerful weapon makes no sense?

Only the ODSTs get the pistol and SMG everyone else will only have access to assault rifles and other weapons that don't cater for mid range? I don't like the fact that it's removed it makes no sense.

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.


Where in the Halo 3 campaign can you 3 shot chieftains with a BR? On easy, maybe. In ODST you can shoot about 7 times(and since the Auto-Mag shoots very fast..) and it'll kill a Chieftain, and that's on like Heroic.

Although I am not a hardcore MLGer or something like that, I kind of liked the BR, especially for Campaign. I felt it was a trademark to the series.

Oh well, the Automag looks cool anyway, so I'll get over it.

Poor guy, the Magnum takes too much skill for him. :( *Pats*
Die, BR lovers, die!
Magnum > BR in every way.
Ohh, btw. The Carbine is better than the BR. Just so you guys know.

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.


i LOL'd my pants

Mlg fanatics. What else can they do?
Whatever kid, go read your halo books, play campaign and camp with the AR.

So you're telling someone to be intelligent (responding to remark of reading Halo books)? Honestly, this community gets dumber every nanosecond.

I'ma beam them up.

ODST moves from 4/5 to 3/5 on my list because the BR has been taken out. MW2 stays at 4/5.
All games created by Blizzard have, and always will, stay 1000000000/5. Blizzard makes the best games ever.

Hardly. In fact, it was probably the best starting weapon Bungie's ever created.

Not so overly powerful to discourage using other weapons (Since, as a jack of all trades, the power weapons were better for their own situations), and not weak enough as to get destroyed by rampaging power weapons.

I am the leader of the Halo Machinima team TEAMHALOSWAT, or THS for short. Make sure to visit www.teamhaloswat.blogspot.com for THS news.

i will miss the br, but the m6s should do the job.

i feel like ive betrayed the br though for saying that

(with the m6s, why will anybody use any other gun against infantry, if its so godly)

and all u ppl want the m6s, but isnt that like saying u want a 1 shot br?

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.


And kills faster than the BR.
