I prefer play only A.R. , pistol and ssmg

because your bad


Because maybe we find it funner to use something other than the BR?


Seriously, BR fan boys, don't insult others that don't love your sacred ability to 4 shot..


Funner isn't a word. The Correct term would be 'More Fun'

I CHANGED MY MIND DAMMIT

wtf? why wouldn't they have it? the ODST needs a good and accurate medium range weapon because he isn't a walking tank like chief.

grow up kid


Lol, no, why grow up? He's pointing out a fault in someones playing style.
BR > AR.


I find it to be a fault in YOUR playing style to use the BR....

Oh wait, I just said an opinion, not a fact like yours was.


Oh wait, your was an opinion to!

AR > BR

The point of ODST is stealth and reconnaissance. If you start pounding off loud BR rounds, that defeats the whole purpose. Get over it and enjoy the new sandbox we've been given.

NO GROUP INVITES!!!

What the -blam!- does it matter if something requires skill? Winning is all that matters, and quickest way to get kills is the best way. If the game wouldn't have BR, AR would actually need team work if you don't want to give the enemy a kill too. Melees which kill both combatants are a problem... With ARs and team work... concentrate fire and the enemy is dead in seconds and you're alive still. AR and BR are supposed to complement each other.. one for close-to-short range and one for medium. Too bad things don't work this, partially because of the melee, rest is about stupid community.

LOL TEAMWORK WITH THE AR??? Are you a moron? Well, apparently you are. The Br is the best weapon, 4 shot to the head and your dead. Takes skill to master for a 4 shot. The Ar? Empty your clip in them and beat them down. Gee, which one takes more skill? I dare you, Challenge an MLG team like Str8 Rippin or FInal Boss to a game where they have BR's and You have AR's. Theyre teamwork and strategy will kick your -blam!- ass. No joke noob. So dont you dare say that an AR promotes strategy lol, such a waste of post space.


Removing BR doesn't make much sense when you start thinking about the time though.. But then gameplay=/=lore/canon. I would have probably kept BR if only to provide more freedom of choice.. but i'm not a dev anymore than any of us. Nor was i asked :P

But there's one good (IMO) reason to remove BR from campaign. What weapon do you use in campaign in Halo 3? BR?. Do you use much other weapons? No? Is BR simply most efficient weapon? Yes?
Point is that BR removes a lot of need to use any other weapon (campaign talk now). Removing BR forces people to adapt more and use other weapons too, considering that SMG and Automag are likely to have sparse ammo... at least that'd be logical. In Halo 3 and 2, you can find BRs almost every where.

Way to call somebody a "noob" with "lol" before it. What are you, four years old?

Anyways, I'm sure you'll forget about the BR once you get to use the M6/SOCOM Automag. If you dpn't, then I couldn't care less.

Know what else? The correct grammatical structure of your latter sentence would not have "correct" or "more fun" capitalized, and would end it off with a period. But guess what. No one cares.

Lol? The Br is....ugh nvm its pointless to argue with u guys. And how is noob a halo only word? Never play any other competitive online game? Like Cod? Or even Warcraft III? Its definatly not a halo only word. And i dont see how it makes me suck cause i use it.

and to the person who says its opinion that the AR is worse than the BR; Put a br at medium range with an AR, the BR will win. Simply Proven.

Try to get some sense in your head my friend. The Halo 2 Magnum has returned, nastier than ever, now tell me, since Halo:CE did so good with the Pistol and didn't need a Battle Rifle, why is it so necessary for ODST to have one now?


Because Halo 1 only had 8 weapons compared to the 30? of Halo3.

Sure, Halo ODST could do with 8 weapons...
The new Magnum is basically a replacement for the Battle Rifle, and since we haven't used it yet, we don't know if we'll like it more than the BR.

Maybe you're on a different track if all you want is more weapons, no matter how they look like or work, it doesn't look like we get any blue Plasma Rifle here either.

I hate the BR. I can use it well. It's just that it's so played out now. I for one am glad Bungie decided to expand the thought of a zoom-in pistol. Besides, the pistol can fire just as fast as you can pull the trigger. It's probably slightly better than Halo 1s pistol.


And it is silenced too =)

But will it have the same awesome power like in Halo CE???


And it's silenced. What more do you want?

As for power, I would assume it's less powerful. I mean, balance, right?

Your logic is flawed. They are both unique to their own specific purposes.

Btw if your referining to me as well, which it's safe to assume you are, i'm not really freaking out. I'm somewhat pissed about the idea of downgrading, as in removing stuff from the halo universe.

If anything -blam!- the BR, like i said, I'd prefer the AR Pistol combo like i did in Halo CE, or maybe a carbine, which was my rifle of choice in Halo 2 & Halo 3.

I was in the same, somewhat pissed mood when I 1st played Halo 2's multiplayer to find out the bungie phailed to add in the Fuel Rod Cannon, and when I 1st played Halo 3 to realize that the Spectre from Halo 2, was removed.
[edit]
(and I almost busted a vain in rage and anger when i found out that the Assault Rifle was removed in Halo 2, lol, that was the only time i was truly pissed off @ bungie)
[/edit]

removing things from games that millions of people once used and loved pisses me off... that's all.


I am referring to you as well, as a matter of fact.

Now, I thank you for your explanation. This means to me that even though you might not get behind some initial modification of the sandbox, you will give the new game a fair try, and might even like/love it despite your initial reaction. That to me sounds good.

Let's wait, get the game, play it, and judge it for what it's worth on its own terms.

While i do agree with you here, it'd still be nice to have the BR for firefight. Thats the only reason i'm in this thread, i could care less about having it in campaign. I just wanna see my killionaires rack up cause of my Br on the AI. Plus i dont get how people perfer the AR over the BR but i'm starting to lose interest in arguing...

Stop being an @sshole! Your just trying to make people look stupid by correcting there grammer. So there is no BR so what? Your just scared to lose the only gun your good with because all you can do is 4 shot with it like a noob and make yourself feel like your pro.

  • 06.09.2009 3:27 PM PDT

wtf

Bungie didn't remove the BR, they improved it. It's called the Automag. Fires as fast as you can pull the trigger, 1 shot kill on headshots, and it's smaller, so it doesn't clog up your screen. Live with it, complaining about it won't get you anywhere.

  • 06.09.2009 3:28 PM PDT

Yes, really

silenced, single shot, zooming SMG. just like a br, one hit kills on grunts. and the BR is still in MM. calm down.
