I be trippin'.

In the Halo Universe, the BR was around way before Halo 2.

On topic the new smg looks like it has the range of the BR.

BR range + fully automatic + giant clip+ silencer - MLG= EPIC UBER AWSOMESAUCE!!!!

Plus the new SMG is MUCH more accurate as you can tell by the incredible decrease in the size of the crosshair. BR is not needed when you have an accurate bullet hose. While you lose the headshot bonus, it should destroy enemy health. And if you want the headshot bonus, then use the AutoMag. Viola!

And my army of brothers went over the hilltops, drenched in blood we may be.... but fighting is all left to me....together with my army of brothers...down we fall....darkness in all..through hell...

Actually it looks like the pistol is replacing it,

scope+headshots+fire as fast as you can pull the trigger+powerful-slow fire from previous magnum= Great weapon.

Check out the group, Planet Reach and talk about Bungie's next game without the annoyance of the public forum. Oh and it's nice there too.

You thought you had lag, it took Jesus 3 days to re-spawn.

Because Bungie hates their fans. (and yes, that was sarcasm)

Don't know. Don't care. When you use the new weapons you'll forget all about the BR. Plus: if you haven't seen the gameplay trailer, (which you should have), it shows a Carbine. Carbine is somewhat similar to the BR. So, stop crying. Deal with it.

  • 06.21.2009 8:08 PM PDT

It isn't needed.
The pistol makes a comeback.
Y'know, from H1?

Maybe they took all of them up to produce the new version in Halo 3! Hell, I dunno. It's probably because it's hella loud.

I'm glad cause I hate the BR, I'd much rather use the AR or any other weapon, but a new auto mag will b awesome,,,,, thanks for the great work bungie!!!!!!!!

  • 06.21.2009 8:22 PM PDT

I used to have 30s in Halo 2 untill they reset the ranks :(

Because Bungie sucks with the Battle Rifle.











...But at least they did something right and brought back the skillfull H1 pistol so that us who can actually aim rather than just point and click can still have some fun.

And your post was going so strong right up until you began typing.

Now why agree that there was a sort of art to using the Halo 1 pistol, it as an unbalanced and over powered abomination of a weapon, which the pistol in ODST seems to be shaping up to be a more complimentary weapon as a sidearm should be.

And most likely the Battle Rifle was removed for a number of reasons including, but not limited to... the change in gameplay mechanics (i.e. the need to be stealthy) as well as the inclusion of the automag for close to mid ranged attacks. Redundancy issues.

But there's no sense crying over every mistake.
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.
And the Science gets done.
And you make a neat gun.
For the people who are still alive.

Only because...The BR was the worst weapon in halo 3. And the auto mag.

If I was in a room with justin Bieber, Bin Laden, Hitler and a gun with two bullets I would Shoot Bieber twice.

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

because its not that great of a weapon........and MLG really isnt that great eaither because you dont widen your choice of weapons your only limited to 3.
