Since this is a prequel does that mean there will be a scoped pistol like in halo ce or a battle rifle.The way i see it is since there is no br in ODST bungie is trying to get us used to a scoped pistol again.Correct me if im wrong.

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

I would like no BR, no M6D Pistol, and no MA5B Assault Rifle.

M6D/SOCOM Pistol
3.3 rounds/second
2x scope
5 headshots to shots to kill a fully shielded Spartan (or 10 bodyshots)
10 rounds/magazine
Midrange (max effective range 120 meters, aim assist disappears at 80 meters)

MA5K Assault Rifle
15 rounds/second
2x scope
45 rounds/magazine
Close-midrange (single shots always hit in center of the reticle at up to 120 meters. Effective at close range at fully automatic. Like a BR-AR hybrid, capable of fully auto upclose, and accurate fire at middle range shadowing the pistol. It would be a headshot-weapon, meaning that upclose you would need to get headshots for it to kill quickly, otherwise it would be about as powerful as the Halo 1 AR if you go for bodyshots)

Lets just say that in the book Halo: Fall of Reach, there was a "prototype" version of what we know as the BR

That is all, I am not saying that there should be or what not, just that there was one in the book

I'm pretty sure that the Battle rifle was developed between halo 1 and 2, though halo wars seems to be wierd about that so I dunno.

About the pistol, I would assume an ODST type pistol since bungie thinks the halo 1 pistol is too overpowered

that pistol sounds way too overpowered. you might want to rethink it

How would it be overpowered? Every weapon would have more range, and since dual wielding probably won't be included (this is before Halo 1), all guns would be made more powerful, so the Pistol would only be really useful at middle range.

My Pistol is very similar to the Halo 1 Pistol, only it has less range, it has less ammo, and it takes almost twice as long to kill.
