Subject: Poll Question is; Do you want the battle rifle to return?

I think some members should stop complaining about how Bungie is excluding the Battle rifle and start to look for a positive aspect.

BR lovers, you will atleast have the second best ranged gun to use in the game. The Covenant carbine and then the new first one is the Halo Magnum.

Just be positive.

Exactly! Even if it doesn't have the same kill power, it can be like the Battle Rifle.

Self-proclaimed genius.
Roam the streets with a sign, "will love for false hope."

It's people like you that were the main reasoning behind the Battle Rifle's removal.

Kudos for making a difference!

A girl called me up and said: "come over, there's no one home".
I went over.
No one was home.

Then why is it your most frequently used gun in ranked playlists?

The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

Calm down my friend,the pistol will be the BR equivalent.

Besides there is no official word on the inclusion or removal of the weapon from Halo ODST.

Lol at most of the replies.

Fact is, if you don't have it you don't have it. And as an above post pointed out, they thought they were going to drop into Regret's ship, which would have been a close quarters fight where a BR would have no place.

Like I said, it all comes down to its not in the game. Get used to it and stop whining. I like the BR just as much as you do, but we get the Halo CE pistol back and a silenced SMG with improved accuracy.


While glad that they're s no BR, this is actually flawed..


We have see that we can take weapons from the marines and others, so why would none of them have a BR?


I was wondering that myself. I can agree with the belief that the ODST in the game were ment for Recon so are armed with close quarter weapons like SMG's and MA5C's.

HOWEVER

Im sure there are plenty of dead marines all over the city that were armed with the BR. After all these are the same marines that were fighting in Halo 2. I find it unrealistic that you will not come across any dead or alive marines that are armed with the BR. And it has to be the halo 2 BR, not the halo 3 one, since this is set during the Halo 2 period.

This also means that we should be able to get the normal SMG and M6C. Those weapons were issued to the marines in halo 2. You as an ODST are issued with a suppressed SMG and a SOCOM M6C. However couldn't you come across dead marines with the standard issue SMG and original M6C? And take it?

And how are there Spartan Lasers in the game? Why wern't any of the marines toting those around in Halo 2? I could have used them.

the smg and magnum have been amped up so there is no need for a battle rifle. besides its still in halo 3

  • 06.09.2009 6:57 PM PDT

I'm just one FuZzY guy.

Increable my friends, increable...

"The enemy has opted for oblivion."

After the announcement of the BR being taken out every thing has changed. People that would be making "OMG MAKE BR STARTS AR 4 N00BS!" are now saying that the BR sucks. Really people?

Forum Rules for those who care to know what they are.

"Bs: Blame stosh for all of your BS!"

If you prefer a BR over a scoped pistol that matches H1, you have serious issues regarding awesome readings. Dude, you can kill a Banshee with a pistol wit ha scope. Yeah, screw the BR.

My problems [with Reach] are basically just full parties, mlg, and people who go out of their way not to get killed.

If I was Bungie I would do something like this just to watch the community flip out. Of course, the only people who are actually affected by this are those who really need to reconsider why they play video games.

Check my masterpiece here.

I'll take H:CE pistol over BR any day. And basically, thats what the ODST pistol is.

  • 06.09.2009 7:23 PM PDT

It's like if the Fanta girls and the the cast of Girls gone Wild participated in a remake of Labyrinth that takes place in a crackhouse version of Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory where the sugar is cocaine, the candy is crystal meth, and the chocolate is LSD*takes a breath*and the goblin king became the gummy bear king.

Pistol with zoom is awesome. I doubt I'll be missing the BR. And if I do, I'll just use a Carbine.

Excellent point.

This really is quite silly, isn't it?

It's not like they're removing the BR from multiplayer. I can deal with a campaign with no BR, especially when we're getting an improved scoped pistol and SMG, and still have the carbine to use.

Your blood will clean the blood for now.

I love these threads :p so funny

  • 06.09.2009 7:35 PM PDT

Well,the point is, is crying about it(not saying you are) isn't going to work like it did to get us Midship back, lol. Besides the the Halo 1 and Halo 2 Hybrid pistol is pretty much going to be the next best weapon judging by the vids and previous play with the other 2.
