Your friendly and eccentric Sangheili forum-poster. :)

I'm alright, but more weapons would be better instead of making replacements all the time.

Well good (because the BR should not have been in halo 3)

umm why should the most awesome gun in halo not be in the game ?

  • 06.23.2009 10:54 AM PDT

BR is porssibly the best all round weapon in any videogame ever. It will be missed. As long as its in Reach im fine.

The Automag is better than the Carbine. Which is better than the BR. Which is better than the AR. Which absolutely sucks.

I just love human weapons technology, and the BR is like the symbol of the ODST in my opinion. It's like the most "special operations" gun in Halo 2 and 3. So I really don't like that it's not in the game, but I guess it works. They wanted to change the gameplay so that we didn't have such a powerful midrange headshot weapon.

i think the BR is too powerful after your shields have been stripped on halo 3 but if i had to chose whether or not it was in odst i probably wouldnt mind because if you have no ammo then a BR is a pretty good gun to pick up i think a scoped magnum is much better it'll be harder to use

How come I never get the sniper rifle?!

It's not your decision to make, and you don't like the BR I'm assuming because you are not good with it. I am good with It, and I dislike the AR because you require no skill at all to use it (and btw the magnum is better to use anyway, it kills faster than the AR and you can dual weild.

Eh, i like both. I dont care for the br, i can use ar or br. ^^

I don't see why an ODST coudn't use a battle rifle, we see it all the time! oh well, maybe it will be nice to have a new weapon, although i certainly hope this doesn't set a precedent for replacing our favorite weapons...

I'm glad there is no BR.
This game could possibly be the closest return to Halo1 with upgraded graphics that we'll get. That game set the FPS bar higher and to me personally, the introduction of the new shileding, BR's and equipment failed to reach that bar. But thats just my view so I'm sure others wil be upset at the BR being left out.


most certainly, myself included


Upset, or glad? The pistol will most likely take its place again anyway.

upset, quite upset

From a Gameplay perspective... not really.

However, from a story perspective, yes. Battle Rifles were everywhere in Halo 2, this game takes place 6 hours after the Slipspace incident... what? Did they all suddenly disappear for a while until Halo 3? Did they all go on vacation somewhere? The sudden removal of the weapon makes little to no sense.

Plus, and this might just be me, but doesn't anyone else think that it just looks stupid having a squad of ODST's running around with sidearms? I mean, they could have at least re-skinned it to look like some sort of rifle.

  • 06.24.2009 4:38 AM PDT

Yep. Love Reach.

I never was really good with a BR so I never really liked it. I like all weapons overall. I think the pistol will be a good replacement if I ever get skilled with it.

  • 06.24.2009 4:57 AM PDT

100% pwning.. (or not)

I totally agree, with Pokeh ;P

I think BR should stay, it fricken rocks!

Yes, I was considering not getting it for a while.

  • 06.24.2009 5:28 AM PDT

I don't mind not having the BR as there are still plenty of other guns that are just as easy and fun to use.

  • 06.24.2009 5:29 AM PDT

"Lock & Load" --Spartan-SL4

Not having the battle rifle is a MAJOR snag. One, the BR is the ODST's main or probably secondary weapon. Two, the SMG is seen always on marines. Three, I bet Bungie wants to revive the use of SMG yet the BR is incredibly popular. But I can't say its a sin.

People keep telling me to get a life... I am getting an education, I have a lovely girlfriend and alot of friends... I thought this was having a life? Gues I was wrong...

High Commander - "Troopers, you are the most badass human soldiers there is. You have gotten here by experience, knowledge of the enemy and your skill in combat... Here is your pistol, now go blow up that space station!"
Random ODST - "Can I have my Battle Rifle?"
High Commander - "NO! NO BR FOR YOU! You got your pistol, you dont need a BR!"
Random ODST - "What the hell? What am I going to do with this pee-shooter? And why cant I get my Battle Rifle?"
High Commander - "Because we forgot to bring it up from the armory, now shut up and go to your pod!"

Yeah, I have to agree it makes no sence what-so-ever that we dont get our BR in ODST.
