Subject: Why exactly did Bungie scrap the Battle Rifle?

The Pistol took its place. And 3 round burst and bullet spread is horrible.


Exactly

I don't think they give mid/long range weapons to shock troopers. Close up and behind enemy lines insertion, I think i would want a sub machine gun. I think of swat teams that need close combat weapons.

Because the SOCOM is better, and more fitting.

A silenced, one shot BR seen in the Halo 2 E3 demo would be nice though.

The pistol will replace the BR because the BR would have made the game way too easy. The pistol takes a bit more skill to use.

They wanted to focus the spotlight on the SMG and Pistol.

Donuts > all other food

Because the BR dominated every other weapon. The first thing anyone would do in Halo 2/Halo 3 campaign is immediately find a BR. Bungie wanted some other weapons to shine, like the new silenced-scoped SMG.
