I personally loved how Bungie didn't put the BR in Halo 3: ODST. No one would ever use any weapon. The first thing anyone does in a Halo 3 game is rush to find a BR. I want other weapons to shine.

I hope the BR is not in Halo: Reach.

And before you guys flame, NO. I do not suck with BR. I am very good with it. Check my Halo 3 stats for proof before you all flame my ass.

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

I would not like the BR in Halo REACH because burst fire fails for online play. I would like its functions (long range supression, midrange headshots) split between two weapons: MA5K Assault Rifle (which would be skillful and versatile, unlike the AR in H1 or H3) and the M6D Pistol (behaves like H1 and H3 ODST Pistol)

I'd rather not have the BR because it wasn't introduced until Halo2 and Halo Reach is before Halo Combat Evolved
and plus, I'd rather want to see what guns they had before Halo 1

I don't get why people think having the BR in Reach is a canonical problem, it really isn't.

Burst fire works well online. It is awesome, makes you more accurate. You don't just spray and pray. You actually have calculated shots. You don't just fire off a thousand rounds in the direction of your opponent and hope for a kill, hope your bullets hit him more then his bullets hit you.

Burst fire online isn't as accurate as single shot off-host, so I would rather whatever midrange accuracy gun is present (BR, Pistol, something new) would be single shot (like the BR in the H2 E3 2003 trailer) so we don't get lost bullets.

Oh, but you see with a single-fire weapon online, you are putting all your eggs in one basket. Take the brute shot, for example. It's easily my favorite weapon, but I've gotten 6 direct hits before without doing a lick of damage. Why? On my screen, I see the shot land, but it's actually missing, and to my knowledge, there is no refund system on that gun.

The advantage with the BR is, if you drop a bullet, since each is sent in its own packet, you still have two others that will likely land.

I can see positives and negatives to both systems. I like the burst fire, personally. The only thing I'm adamantly opposed to is a single-fire pistol with long-range capability, high power, and a zoom function.

Yes but only in campaign.

  • 06.29.2009 11:21 AM PDT

It's to powerful and can be adapted to any situation. I've taken down Wraiths and Hunters using only the Battle Rifle. Please Bungie, don't include the BR in Reach. Before you flame me saying "ya wel u probly suk wit it so go die u nob!" Check this.

That only works in the right hands, though... if the BR couldn't take out the Wraith provided you had skill with the BR, the Wraith would be insanely overpowered because it could camp the only weapon which could take it out, so your team gets stomped.

Yes, because a pistol that is way more accurate then a BR, was more powerful then the BR, (could 3 shot) is what we need.

It is unrealistic. I would rather have a rifle in my hand.

  • 06.29.2009 12:02 PM PDT

the BR will sweet but in REACH they use different type of assault rifle and they were some weird names for rifle but they were hot looking ones......

  • 06.29.2009 12:03 PM PDT

The reason those certain people hate the BR is because they can't use it good enough.

  • 06.29.2009 12:04 PM PDT

Haters are going to hate.
Praisers are going to praise.

The Bungie Forums are what keeps my mind sharp and my fingers active, between writing my own movie scripts, drawing, and studying industrial design. At the moment I'm working on miniatures for a short movie that I'll hopefully be able to film once I've saved up for a camera... That's me, with the mug, trying to have a conversation with Konoko.

Dont remove any weapons, thats all I have to say. Although I have a hard time seeing how Brute and Forerunner weapons would fit into the campain (or were there brutes on Reach?).
I would however want them to change it a bit, cause at the moment its too good in too many situations, people suddenlt stopt using anything else as a standard weapon, and thats a bit boring.

I would like more variety in my weapons, yes, add some more guns like the MA2B, or the MA5K. But keep weapons like the Battle rifle, and the Brute weapons.

Personally, if Bungie took the time to license Eric Nylund and other authors to create a back-story of the Halo series, I think they should stick to the weapons in the timelime. If you want to play with a Battle Rifle, play Halo 2 or 3. If Bungie doesn't have it included, I'm sure they will introduce a new "pro" weapon for all the "pros". For anyone that read the book, I think it would be great if Bungie introduced a class system to pick online reflecting the main Spartans in the book ie: Lynda the sniper, John (Master Chief) as an assault class, Sam as a Demolition class and so on. Online, they could introduce class limitations or restrictions for each class so you don't have the obvious downfalls to someone spawning with a rocket. Just a thought.
