I'd like to see the gun completely reworked. We do need a medium range weapon that can compete with the snipers at long range.

it doese'nt look nextgen , looks good but not nextgen
If by next-gen you mean crappy, dark and colorless, I agree. It doesnt look next-gen at all.

No Battle Rifles. I would like to see the predecessor though. Maybe make it less accurate.

Do you really care? you can't automatically see my signature anyway.

my opinion: none of the old weapons should be used.
why? cause we are just gonna complain about how they changed.

making a different set of weapons would allow them the freedom to provide a completely balanced experience without the flood of emails about completely changing the weapons. altho they would still get a mass of emails about taking out everyones favorite weapons but I think a completely balanced experience would shut people up.

I thought the battle rifle didnt exist during the Battle of Reach?

They should make it so that the BR is useless in close quarters. It should only be usable at a medium range or farther. That would force people to use a weapon designed for close quarters and make the game way better. Its not fair the weapon is designed to work great at all distances.

doesn't mean it wont exist in multiplayer. I bet in multiplayer will have all the armor permutations from h3 including the Mark VI which didn't become available til halo 2.

u know wut battle rifle is sick. the one on the halo 2 e3 trailer.

  • 06.15.2009 6:56 PM PDT

The Battle Rifle existed as far back as the beginning of the war, at Harvest. So it's POSSIBLE they could have them... but I think it would be more interesting if they didn't. We've already played two Halo games where you had battle rifles. Some new gameplay would be refreshing.

  • 06.15.2009 7:16 PM PDT

It will probably come back. Despite what people think, its a pretty balanced weapon, and I say this from a close quarter combat AR / Spiker / Plasma Rifle loving standpoint. With the proper skills you can easily take down BR users at close range. If they were to nerf it, they should make it do slightly less damage to shields. Still makes it effective at medium range, but makes it weaker at close range.

  • 06.15.2009 7:21 PM PDT

wtf

During the battle of Harvest/Reach, it was full auto.

  • 06.15.2009 7:23 PM PDT

Yes, but under one condition:

It is a balanced weapon that does not dominate every other weapon.

  • 06.15.2009 7:29 PM PDT

I'd like to see what other weapon Bungie could come up with as a replacement. Although the Battle Rifle from Halo 3 was stored under the CASTLE facility on Reach, the fact is I'm tired of the Battle Rifle, I'm tired of the people who play Halo 2 and have only ever played Halo 2 complain and whine that the battle rifle in Halo 3 isn't a hit scan weapon.

The Battle Rifle in Halo 3 is the next best thing to the M6D in Combat Evolved and way better then the Halo 2 version, the one in Halo 3 brought back skill and that is the plain and simple truth.

I honestly do not want to hear people who have never played Halo: Combat Evolved, or never really extensively played Halo 3 to continue to rant and rave about how an unfinished weapon in an unfinished game is far superior to both a pistol and a updated, and far better version of the same rifle.

At this point I want to see Bungie do something new, perhaps introduced the MA5K Carbine, and make it work really good so nobody can come up with anymore crap.

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

I would rather a hybrid of the Halo 1 and Halo 3 ODST Pistol take its place, and the AR should be far more accurate than any we have seen so far (compare it to the ratio of Halo 3 SMG:Halo 3 ODST SMG, and you know what I mean), possibly with a 2x scope.

I started Starori games in 2011.

No one has the right to take the life of another.

If they have it in the game most likely it will be the prototype version.

Clearly because the desktop uses a 3 prong plug and a laptop uses a 2 prong plug, the microwave will fill your car with tostitos better

Yes, or another, more balanced weapon should take its place.

Less accurate!? It's already less accurate than Halo 2's with random spread. They need to tune it with maybe slower rate of bursts, damage, or different range.

they better not cause saposibaly its before halo 1. so im hoping for pistol.
