no one has played halo ce?

Yea I have but the Battle Rifle is my favorite halo3 weapon. I'd probably use it over a rocket or sniper.


So you're the guy that gets owned by the Rocks or Snipes when your too stubborn to pick up a power weapon.


eh...it varies mostly with what map you play, as the distances you engage ppl in combat vary.

The Superintendent saw all the Battle Rifles on the ground asssigned them as garbage and disposed of them properly.

"OH YEA!! this 1st person shooter looks like a stealth game!!"
[/sarcasm]


Is that a rocket launcher?? yea, broad daylight w/ a rocket launcher... T_T real stealthy
/facepalm


omg is that a rocket launcher in his hands AND a machine gun (turret) in broad daylight?!
hey look! the player has a shotgun as his secondary weapon! shot guns can't be silenced!
yea guys...real stealthy...
/facepalm


hey look, it's broad daylight! is that a pistol I spy in a fight against a hunter, w/o silencers?
yea guys...real stealthy...
/facepalm


LMAO
about to kick the -blam!- out of a brute in front of an audience! = D

/facepalm
(in other news! it looks like the brute plasma rifle has returned! time to PWN SOME NUBS!!!

I rest my case. the Battle Riffle would serve a purpose, in the campaign of ODST.

Vancouver BC, Canada.

The Battle Rifle shouldn't be in this game. Never. Never. No. Just no. Forget about it because I highly doubt it'll make an appearance.

We're building a better world...all of them, better worlds.

It's role is filled by the M6C/SOCOM. It would be a redundant weapon. Not to mention, the SMG's range and accuracy looks friggin' ridiculous. With those two weapons, why would you even want a BR?

wow M0nk. i feel the same way, and am basically saying the same thing.... but could you be less insulting towards other people about it??


no, b/c when you debate and argue against newbs & idiots, you need to be stern & firm to get your point across.
like urine competent.....just read what he just typed up w/o thinking....stupid ppl piss me off.

the whole "it's a stealth game! it's a stealth game!" argument is invalid. It's no reason to have the BR non existent in the game.
the fact that the Battle Rifle no longer exists is stupid, and makes no sense. these idiots need to realize that if they don't like a -blam!- gun, they shouldn't pick it up, and play the way they want to play! bungie still has time to spawn the gun laying around in a few places around the city. if they were smart, they'd do it, and make that many more people happier and more satisfied w/ their game.

Although I think the BR is great, I'd rather it not be there so it provides a bit of a challenge.

I love using the BR but I really don't care if it's in ODST. The BR was never that great against brutes...

Im going to go with the Slipspace rupture destroying all the BRs. Thats my only logical explanation. Dont get me wrong, i love the BR, but im not going to miss it here, even if it does kinda screw with the games canon

  • 06.10.2009 6:47 AM PDT

In the end, you must realize, it'll all work-out just fine =]

Ok...lets have our minds try to conceive a reversal of situations...

Lets take the SMG out....and put the BR, with a silencer in.


i stopped reading there.

EXACTLY!! now these newbs can stfu!

BR with a silencer!

No, Bungie is giving us something better. The scoped pistol, and which i would rather have any day then a BR. :) And plus its just one weapon in Campaign, and Bungie has also said if you wanted to use a BR your only a disc swap away. Trust me, you will be fine without it for a couple of hours.

  • 06.10.2009 6:54 AM PDT

All I ask is that you don't try to capture me.

This game is supposed to be hard. No shields, fall damage, limited ammo, etc. are gonna make it a challenge to get through. The BR is too good of a weapon to give to the ODSTs, and since the SMG has a scope and better range and the new mag is a headshot machine, putting in a BR without heavily modifying it would be redundant.

You may also argue that it doesn't make sense canon-wise, but the Halo canon has already been screwed up so many times that it's almost impossible to make sense of it. Weapon changes, gaps between games, armor changes, not to mention descrepancies between the books and the games and of course the insane plot of Halo Wars make following the canon a joke. At this point it's plausible to say that all the BRs were stolen by grunts to be melted down to make gravity hammers for the brutes.

The only thing I'm gonna miss about the BR is marines wielding them, because only then were my AI allies useful.

Then that makes this entire thread invalid. If you know how to use other weapons, shut the hell up about 1 and use what you get.
