Learn to use other weapons.


and what is there to learn you -blam!- idiot?

it's a first person shooter.
point and pull the damn trigger.

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.


please, do me a favor and elaborate how the hell what i said, makes everything invalid, and how your stupid comment "learn to use other weapons" fits in with this thread.

I wasn't actually talking about you. I meant people complaining about ONE weapon not being in campaign. "Learn to use other weapons", if you can't get the weapons you want, use another one, simple as that. The BR isn't in campaign, and I doubt Bungie is going to change the whole game for one weapon.

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?


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.
you argue that the SMG should be in the game, and it's stupid how it isn't, as bungie decided to leave it out.

you come here, make a thread just like this one, and argue that it should be in, whilst others support bungie and say that it should be out...

13 pages later, i show up, and call the SMG a redundant weapon...
as the BR is more powerful, is more versatile, and is stealthy, with a silencer, as the SMG is shorter range, less accurate and percise, and w/o a silencer.

BR, AR combo > SMG Pistol Combo

BR AR combo gives you the pest of both worlds. Full auto + semi auto guns, in which the AR packs more fire power than the SMG, and is more accurate to boot, and the BR is more accurate, and has longer range than the pistol, and packs more fire power than that little pistol..

what would you be saying then??

Well if what you are saying is true, I might be inclined to be fine with it.

But really we don't know anything yet. We don't know the M6C's effective range or power. We don't know the silenced SMG's effective range or power. We don't know anything about the environments we'll be in or the adjustments they made to our enemies. Really, we don't know jack for certain.

I do know one thing: a mid range precision weapon is something Bungie has ALWAYS had in their games. The BR was simply the weapon that filled that role in the last two games. Really, this comes down to faith. I have faith that Bungie can provide us with a weapon that functions in the role of the mid-range standard. Since they are relating the M6C/SOCOM to the M6D (from Halo: CE), I'm fairly confident this weapon will fill the role of the BR. Therefore, having a BR in addition to the M6C would be redundant in terms of the weapon sandbox.

In regards to the SMG, though, I'm fairly certain from the performance I've seen, the silenced SMG is meant to fill the role of the assault rifle. While we've seen pictures of ODSTs with ARs, we don't specifically know we'll be able to use that weapon either.

In any case, we don't know enough to be able to make statements like:

BR, AR combo > SMG Pistol Combo
Unless, of course, you're saying you simply like the BR + AR combo. Then I'd say you're well within your rights to make such a statement but that you're being far too preemptive in your judgment, since you have almost zero knowledge about the latter and no experience with it to boot.

And for the record, yes, I like the AR + BR combo. It doesn't mean I won't also like the silenced SMG + M6C/SOCOM combo.

This makes no sense. the odst used the BR's in halo 2,....this is the sequel to halo 2....so where the -blam!- are the BR's???

No, Halo 3 is the sequel to Halo 2, hence 3.

this is just like how the Assault rifle was taken out of halo 2...using the fact that they couldn't get it down pat on time, and that it didn't fit into the gameplay as an excuse when after all those years they could have easily put it back with downloadable content or something.
You can't download gameplay items, because they're already there. Especially back then, downloading maps was still a farly new concept. Impossible when Halo 1 was first out.

You sir, fail.

1.Use proper grammar & spelling.
2.Your own arguements supercede you. (Example shown above.)
3.You have no life. Stop trolling the forums, grow some balls, and learn to dribble a basketball.
4.You're semi-good at debating when you've been in The Black Chapter for over a year. Come talk to me then.

Stop posting. Now.

HAHAHAHAHA!!

I was skimming through this thread a bit. A STEALTH GAME!?!? WTF?!
You all are such -blam!- stupid noobs!!!
lmao
[sarcasm]
"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
yea guys...REALLY STEALTHY!!!
/facepalm
(in other news! it looks like the brute plasma rifle has returned! time to PWN SOME NUBS!!!
> = D (oh wait...dual wielding is out, so no SMG to compliment it... another facepalm...)


lol
gang banging a jackal.
oh what's this?! where are their silencers!!! is that guy holding a machine gun (turret) in his hands?! REAL STEALTHY GUYS!!
/facepalm


ROFL
SPARTAN LAZERED IN 7EH FACE!! -blam!- PWNED!!!!
....yea guys, THIS IS REALLY STEALTHY!!!!

I rest my case. the Battle Riffle would serve a purpose, in the campaign of ODST.
-blam!- nubs
lol


Im surprised you have not been banned yet for insulting.

Majority of the pics you just posted are either:
A- From the FireFight Gametype, where stealth would be thrown out the windows, and not even part of the campaign.
Or
B-From the flashbacks from the campaign.

Both of which, by the looks of videos ive seen, have thrown caution to the wind.

The campaign which involves Rookie would most probably incorporate some form of stealth.

BTW if it was a real life situation, special forces will never equip rifles with silencers due to:
#1-Length with the added size of a silencer will make the weapon over balanced and non-usable.
#2-The stress the silencer would take from a rifle round would wear it out way to fast to be of any use.

Now for all those people who about to go Bi Polar and shout out "ITS A GAME" I know, but Bungie supposedly based the ODST off American Marine Force Recon and the British Special Air Service all squished into one and made futuristic, so they probably just tried to stick with whole deal, including weapons.

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

Everything I've read or heard from Bungie states that stealth in this game will be an option. You can choose to sneak past enemies or engage them.

  • 06.10.2009 7:38 AM PDT

jebus no i can use br, but i hate it b cuz it is a killsteal weapon, seriously, i get a guys shields down with ar then some noob steals my kill with 1 br shot to the head. whats even worse is the fat that he trash taks about how he ownt us because he is super mlg pro.

There's no BR in campaign... <----Now this is just downright retarded, the whole game is a non sequitur.

What a retarded thing to say..... There is no BR in campaign, therefore the game is a non-sequitur? Yikes, that's some serious abuse of logic and latin right there.

An example of a non-sequitur would be ....what you just said. Something that does not follow.

Oh god, please just stop before you make it any worse.

Good thing then that Esemble isnt touching this game.

What a sniper can kill within a 1000 ft radius? A lot...

I was 117th to vote yes for the BR!!!
I'd like to see it in the game, but it doesn't really matter; AUTO MAGNUM FTW!

Don't animals have free will? They are free too make choices as well?

Face it, bungie just loves their nubs way too much. Here's some sample dialogue.

Mr. Bungie man, can i pls win some games???

Sure, i don't see y not.

Well you see, I can't aim to save my life and everyone on the other team haz brs.

Hmmmm... To make it up to you, I'll take the br out of the next game so you don't have to try to aim!

LOLZZZ TANKS DUDE!

  • 06.10.2009 7:55 AM PDT

wtf

Automag = BR, live with it.

  • 06.10.2009 7:56 AM PDT

Signatures are for squares.

I love the BR, but shut the hell up, there is the new SMG, (Pretty much an automatic BR now) and the New Pistol(Halo 1 pistol, but better, and guess what? THE BR IS THE HALO 1 PISTOL WITH A DIFFERENT SKIN) Seriously, we already have 2 new BR esque weapons.

I think this is to a greater degree, however, since it's an open world. In most Halo encounters, you really don't have much of a choice between attacking and bypassing. Your only choice might be how to approach the situation.

  • 06.10.2009 8:09 AM PDT

IM A LEGIT 16

Why do you care so much? It's a freakin' virtual gun.
If you want to use the BR, play the multiplayer.
If you want to use the SMG and Magnum, play the campaign.

If they put in the BR, people like you would scream that the campaign is too similar to the previous games.

It doesn't fit into the Stealth theme.
The campaign has probably been balanced to play without it.
No one cares.

Your first post makes you look really whiny and immature.
You say that Bungie would be stupid to not do what you personally want and expect everyone to agree with you.

Look, no BR. Live with it.
