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.
