Poll: Do you care if the BR is replaced by the AM?  [closed]
Yes, I care quite a bit. I love BR:  8%
(8 Votes)
Yeah, but the AM is still pretty cool. :  16%
(16 Votes)
I don't care either way:  27%
(28 Votes)
No, I love the AM, the BR is OK:  27%
(28 Votes)
No, I love the AM totally, the BR was broken/sucks:  22%
(23 Votes)
Total Votes: 103

Ok, I'm sure there are plenty of these threads, but I'd like to get the opinion of the community about this issue.

When they say BR isn't going to be in firefight, do they mean it won't be in the game at all??

BR is cool. The Automag is cool. Should we care that the Automag has replaced the BR (If that is the case) ?

Also, are these the only new weapons?? I hear that Bungie still has some secrets involving ODST...let's hope they're good.

Discuss these topic below, but the poll is just for whether you care about the AM replacing the BR (again if that's the case)

I think the change will be refreshing.

I hate the BR... horrible tactic just sit and wait... the point of halo 3 was to get in your enemy's face. The BR reduced that challenge

Your intrusion has been logged. Any further attempt to access [quote] will result in your immediate addition to local Sentinels' targeting systems.

I wish it got replaced in regular matchmaking, too; but that ain't going to happen.

Of course it won't be replaced...I like it...but still...I would rather have both, than just one..

Self-proclaimed genius.
Roam the streets with a sign, "will love for false hope."

Where's the "The Battler Rifle rocks which is why I'm glad it's not in ODST."

Or the "Automag is overpowerd but I'm still glad there's no BR."

Thank you sir, that was an epic rendition of this topic.

and how!

Personally, I LOVE every variant of the M6 Magnum, and the BR55 is also pretty cool, and it is a great weapon, but the M6 is so much cooler.

  • 06.10.2009 10:25 PM PDT

Wort Wort Wort!

yeah, the M6 is like a rifle that you can hold in one hand

lmao epic win + 3.

But really, I like the change. It's reminiscent of Halo CE, which in my opinion is definitely a good thing.

It's called a SOCOM

  • 06.15.2009 4:05 PM PDT

Life is full of change, I personally am looking forward to this one.

  • 06.15.2009 4:08 PM PDT

For every action, there is an equal and opposite airstrike.

Nice to see changes. It does bring up some questions though, such as why the Halo 2 Pistol has 12 rounds instead of 8, though that requires a diagram and another story.


SOCOM and SSMG all the way, maybe some Brute Plasma Rifle too.

listen to the Bungie podcast...and read some of the news posts...They call it the "Auto Mag".
Sure, its also the SOCOM version of the pistol....but show me a bungie employee that calls it that...

  • 06.15.2009 4:16 PM PDT

New change, new tactics. Refreshing to me.

  • 06.15.2009 4:25 PM PDT

War never decides who is right; only who is left.

I would like both to be in, but I guess I can understand the BR's absence.

whats the am?

The options included in the poll are biased. It's like you can't care AND love the AM, regardless of how you feel about the BR.

Look, I care: I don't want the BR in ODST, though I DO like the BR in matchmaking, and I DO like the AM as well from what I've seen.

So... I just can't vote.

I like the BR a lot, but I prefer the M6D of Combat Evolved. I have no doubts that it'll be as good as the M6D.
