There's gotta be a replacement for the BR that doesn't mean a crazy pistol.

But there isn't you see, as the games come full circle in perfect harmony.

Who said there would be no BR in Halo: Reach?
That was only stated for Halo 3: ODST.

Ahh, but this is a prequel, not a sequel. The BR is indeed a valuable tool, but the pistol is much, much more cool.

The BR wwas in contact harvest. Harvest was the first covenant attacked planet. The BR will be there

the BR is perfect the pistol should be toned down or left alone. there will be a BR. just becuase reach takes place before halo CE dosn't mean that the BR wont appear. Halo: ODST happens right after Halo 2 and it has a spartan laser.

Read the book Contact Harvest.
Sargeant Johnson's weapon of choice when he goes to investigate Minor Transgression is the Battle Rifle. That occasion took place in January of 2525. Almost 30 years before Halo was discovered. There was a Battle Rifle long before Halo 1. I imagine there will be, as well as a different kind of pistol modified specifically for well balanced play in H:R.

There won't be a Battle Rifle for REACH.
Unless Bungie decides to make a long complete game, they won't have the Battle Rifle at all.
You see, in the novels. The Battle Rifle wasn't introduced until the end of "First Strike".
So it's possible there will be a BR towards the end of the game.
But my guess is no.
So that leaves us with the M6D.
I would highly doubt it will be as powerful as Halo: Combat Evolved, but who knows.

how is the pistol cool its a handgun you see those now but the game is based in the future and a spartan laser or a mauler is a lot cooler than a pistol

Incorrect. The Battle Rifle was introduced in Contact: Harvest, which takes place in 2525. Johnson used it almost exclusively.

As people have already stated, the Battle Rifle was around during that time frame. Reach was the military go to planet. I highly doubt that they didn't have Battle Riles lying around. Hell, the BRs there were probably better prototypes than the ones used in the other games.

Speaking of prototypes, I'm sure they had other more advanced weapons lying around whether prototypes or finished guns. Perhaps we'll see some of those even though we never heard about them in the books.

I tried to smoke some hash, but the corned beef wouldn't light!

Time will tell....

Actually, they did. Something about a new AR and Magnum. I don't remember much, but they were supposed to be better balanced (weight wise). I'm not sure what they said about the actual power of the weapon.

I hope they didn't say anything about the power of the weapons, so Bungie can mess around with it :)

And yeah, the BR was in Contact Harvest, which was 30 years before the fall of Reach.
