Ok, before you "flame" me, I just want to know why? In Halo 2, ODSTs held BRs perfectly. I honestly don't care, I can live without it, I would just like to know why?

Please clear this up or post you opinions!

Thank you!

Well, the mag is basically the BR now.

The pistol pretty much replaced it, so we dont need it anymore.

because in ODST you gotta take a more stealthy approach hence the silenced SMG and magnum because you don't have shields so a BR in the middle of a big brute platoon wouldn't be very stealthy or helpful would it

No need troll.

The automag replaces the BR. It's silenced and headshots.

I've already read all of the halo books today you stupid nerd. Plus Halo:Fall of reach twice.

When I saw this screenshot I thought there was going to be a BR

But no, Bungie changed their minds.

However I feel the scoped pistol, SMG, carbine and sniper is enough scoped weapons.

We should know better, because we are better.

They replace the BR with the Auto Mag. The auto mag is supposed to be better then the BR.

It's got a scope sure but it is nowhere near as powerful and the gun itself is more like the halo 2 version with a halo 1 scope.

because the pistols cooler, and in halo 2 and 3 it was somewhat useless.

Which is why It is a modified H2 magnum, hence the M6C/SOCOM.

It is a Halo 2 Pistol with a Scope/Silencer. I hate it when people call it the "Halo 1 Pistol".

1.Arkham Asylum, 2.Mass Effect, 3.Halo CE, 4.Mass Effect 2, 5.Halo 2, 6.Splinter Cell Double Agent, 7.Gears of War 2, 8.Medievil, 9.Oblivion, 10.Crash Team Racing

Oh right, this game won't have BR, or the pistol. I'm wondering if there will be blue Plasma Rifles either.

I still don't buy that because otherwise there could be lots of other weapons taken away. Carbine, Beam Rifle, Hammer, Fuel Rod, AR are useless atleast. Halo1 had 8 weapons and it didn't "need" more.

Will Brutes be using Shotguns like in Halo2?
