During The Battle of Reach, all of the remaining spartans except for our friend Spartan 117 were killed, which means that Halo Reach is a prequel to Halo CE. But the thing is, Halo CE did not have a Battle Rifle. Does this mean that Halo Reach will not have a Battle Rifle? I don't know about you guys, but this would make me very sad. Like double frowny face sad. :( :(

Just cuz a weapon was on in the Halo 1 or CE does not mean it was not made. Also not all the S2s were killed a hand full of them are still alive on Onxy / the shield world

The Battle Rifle were developed around 2524 I think.
Before the first contact with the covenant.

So if Bungie choose to have the Battle Rifle in the game, it will.
Becasue it did exist when the Reach event happend.

[If you read "Contact Harvest", you will read about when Avery Johnsson will use the prototype of the weapon, in combat with jackals and in exercises with his Harvest miltia.
That is about 20 years before the Halo event]

Bungie have confirmed there will be NO Battle Rifle in Halo:Reach.

However, they also said you won't care, once you see the new pistol.

Did you just take Halo: Reach for Halo: ODST?

That's ODST, as the others have said. We've also already seen the new pistol in several demos.

Do NOT send me Recruitment Letters, doing so will get you blocked faster than you can say "Huh?"

Not all the Spartans were killed of. John was just the only one to escape Reach.(he later returns and picks up the rest). But the BR was a prototype gun back then if i remember right.
