Eat raw meat.
Punch a bear in the face.


If you don't know who I am, the feeling is mutual.

Here's the short version of why I really don't want a BR in the new Halo game.
- Co-op: I don't want my friends scrounging like rats until they find a BR. Use a pistol, or a carbine for once.
- Firefight: A challenge is sometimes nice.
- The other weapons: Why would the Carbine miss it's counterpart if it hogs all of it's screentime? Let the Carbine shine for once, and give the pistol it's glory back.
- Assault Rifle: Let it fill the human rifle niche for once in Halo 3, it's suffered enough.

The even shorter version: the BR needs a vacation, and I think the other weapons agree.

Bringing you lame jokes, social awkwardness and the occasional good idea since 2008

Personally I find it hilarious when somebody calls someone a noob after spelling at least 2 words wrong and using an abbreviation such as "u".

If you are obsessed with the battle rifle...

KEEP PLAYING H3!

Also, I thought that ODST was in the time of Halo 2, a heavily BR used era in Halo. Now, none? Not even 1?

The BR should be in. If you don't like the gun, DON'T PICK IT UP.

I'm a little mixed on this argument.
Granted, the Battle Rifle is completely unnecessary and would likely be completely overshadowed by the apparently more powerful variant of the M6 pistol that is included in the game.

However, we all know that the UNSC infantry forces on the ground most definitely utilized Battle Rifles in New Mombasa during the events of Halo 2. Given the number of human troops that were present fighting the Covenant invaders, it would seem highly unlikely to NOT come across any Battle Rifles sprawled across the streets or wielded by fellow marines.

Join KOTOR!

I intend to live forever, or die trying.

I think I would like to play a Halo game without the battle rifle being an available weapon for use. I mean really who wants to play a game that is way to similar to Halo 3 I would rather find a new way of overcoming my enemies other than standing back 50+ yards and firing off nothing but head shots.

any ideas?

i heard... that its shishkas skull... bungie x-rayed his head and put that in as the oddball, they did so that they can put shishka in every oddball match to keep an eye on us to make sure we dont cheat remember this next time you go into oddball... shishkas watching...


PURE WIN!

im happy to see the back of the BR it pisses me of so much keep it out bungie!

oh and THE ASSUALT RIFLE IS MUCH COOLER AND BETTER THAN THE BR the assult rifl has always been the most iconic weapon to halo and people just cast it aside th AR is win, in fact it wins so much it couldent win any more and i wasent being sarcastic

Its not that there are none, its just that the ODSTs wont carry any into a stealth situation because the muzzle flash and loud sound of a BR firing would kind of give them away.


That and if you saw the E3 Coverage of the opening scene, the ODST teams thought they were going to drop on top of the Covenant Cruiser and so they packed with them Close Quarters guns. Thats why the majority of the team carries a Submachine gun and Buck carries an Assault Rifle.

But Battle Rifle fans should be happy since their new substitute is the silenced Halo Magnum :)

Look here to see the cutscene that has the Opening cutscene and has the characters in the briefing room discuss the matters at hand.

I hate the BR it makes so many other weps usless...it's overpowered and they are to plentiful on all maps....Basically at higher lvls if you suck with the BR you can't rank up...

Because Bungie is smart and removed it and replaced with automag.

Hi peoplz

Can Bungie ever please you guys? They gave you a a smg with a silencer and a scope, sam as with the magnum. Thats wayyyyyyyy better than one 3 shot gun.

Fear the Pink

As much as I enjoy the battle rifle in Halo 3, I don't think it needs to be in this game. Calm down.

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?

Mayb cause u suck with it? Lol noob. Who doesn't love the Br?


Oh oh oh oh oh...I don't. Too much "BR IZ DA BESTEST WEPPIN EVAR" crap. It really isn't that great. Sure I can kill people with it but I like other weapons, like Shotgun, SMG, Sniper Rifle, Rocket Launcher, Carbine, Plasma Rifle, Energy Sword. Sometimes an AR.
