I don't mind that there isn't a br as long as there's something to, somewhat, replace the ability to shoot mid-ish range.

Why is everyone hating on the BR? You know why everyone uses it? Because its a good weapon! People who hate it are just not as skilled with it, and are therefore happy its gone.

I had a very similar thing, only I threw a 14 story building out of a pool and hit a kid on a paper aeroplane.


The Flood is just this awesome :D

if the BR was in it it is going to just get annoying because people will be swarming in firefight with the BR and in campaign

people hate it because it makes halo EXTREMELY repetitve and doesnt let good gametypes and maps shine in their full glory. The best example is guardian, guardian is not meant to be a standoff with Brs doing all the work, thats why there is only one BR and one carbine on the map. It was supposed to be played with cqb weapons. Now with BR starts, the map is a -blam!--for-tat boring game of shooting the enemy once or twice before they dive for cover.

ALSO gametypes have taken severe damage from the BR. FFA, for example, is now infected with people who just sit back and steal other peoples kills with the BR. not fun for every one else.

the problem in a nutshell is, people who want to play halo for FUN cant because of the people who love the br and are too concerned with winning, K/d ratios, and statistics. In the long run, the battle rifle has ruined halo in many eyes and has cause possibly irreparable damage to halo multiplayer.

I know where you are coming from. The BR seems to have taken over many aspects of the Halo weapon system, making other weapons, or dual wielding obsolete. I'm glad they took it out for ODST, it might force people into expanding the variety of weapons they pick up and use.

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

It's funny that you would say only people that get killed by it want it out even though i have seen multiple people with the BR as there number 1 tool of destruction and still want it out because they know the BR leads to no variety in game play everyone just goes for the BR and then it's BR all match. The BR is second on my ToD list in social which is all i play now and im still glad it's gone for Halo 3: ODST.
You will still be killed by it!!! It's not gone from multiplayer so it doesn't matter. BR is my favorite weapon and I'm not MLG nor am I a wannabe MLG player. I just like the BR because it beats out most other weapons.

I think it's just you...... Stealing kills is not a bad thing in Halo. It's a tactic. Guardian is made for every kind of game and weapon. Not just CQB. There is no way to shoot someone from across the map with a shotty.

Pistol? BR? Who cares, if you know how to shoot a head it takes about the same amount of shots... get over it.

Exactly. I don't see why people have this arguement over weapons in a video game. Although I have to say that I'm on the BRs side of that arguement. I'll like the new pistol though I'm sure.
