Subject: Do you want the BR to be in Halo: Reach?

Ohai, I'm Loscocco (pronounced Loss-cocoa). I'm a college student (computer science major), 3D animator, and long-time Halo player.

The BR is getting old, I think it should be taken out, if people hate it, then play H3. I think that the BR has been used too much in H3 because every map has a ton and most people demand BR starts...

Armor Lock isn't overpowered. You just suck at Reach :)

Reach isn't bad, you're just a BK :)

For my gamertag, look up "Ghoulishtie"

woah...tied poll....never thought I would see that.

Of course if you asked this in mlg forums, Yes would overcome No 100-1

All I ask is that you don't try to capture me.

No thanks, the BR is a fine gun but the MA5K/M6D combo would be so much better.

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.

the reason that people don't want the battle rifle in the game is because it's way too effective. It can be used in too many situations, so many in fact that it makes other weapons with more limited scopes of effectiveness pointless to use.

The pistol on the other hand is more limited that the battle rifle and provides nearly the same effect as it. the pistol is way less of a god weapon because there are other weapons (such as the assault rifle or plasma rifle) that might be better to use in some situations than it.

im hoping it will the h1 pistol.
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.
Do you like dual wielding?

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.

Obviously not a Halo: CE player. IT'S PISTOLING TIME!
If you dont like the BR55 rifle than you wont like the M6D.

That problem with the BR only exists because dual wielding watered down the weapon sandbox in Halo 2 and 3...

there should be, and also there should be an auto one

War never decides who is right; only who is left.

Yes, I do. Just keep it the same as is was before and everyone will be fine. Maybe tone it back a bit and make it more long-range.

I don't see why not.

  • 06.29.2009 4:03 PM PDT

If i find you online (if i ever GET xbox live) please note i'm a cop, and if i catch you speeding, i will pull you over and i will arrest you. oh wait, you have a gun too...

Although it would need a total balance overhaul, the battle rifle would be great.
But PLZPLZPLZPLZ keep the assault rifle!!!

BR did not exist in a mass produced form during Reach Only prototypes existed and the only time we hear about those are during Sgt.Johnson use and Dr.Hasley lil stash that the S2's use

Yes, but single shotted.

Need a map reviewed? Try The Forging Assembly!

I dont think Bungie should include the battle rifle in Halo Reach. Even though it could be possible as in the storyline of Contact Harvest there were prototype versions of the battle rifle and in First Strike the Spartans on Reach gained access to Battle Rifles, I don't think we should have access to it. The weapon is used far too much. For example in every campaign mission every player tends to grab a BR. Every map on MP players either start with a BR or the make a mad dash for the BR. Its an overused weapon that i believe should be left in halo 2 and 3 and an new set of weapons should be provided for Halo Reach. Maybe replace the BR with the MA5K, just as accurate but automatic and weaker. Just my thoughts.

it would have to be weak and maybe no scope since it was still a prototype hidden in CASTLE base

1. the rifle in CASTLE base was never called a BR
2. the rifle in CASTLE base had a scope
3. S-259 wasn't in CASTLE base

To Asgard...by the blood of our brothers.

The BR itself isn't imperative, its the contrast it offers to the assault rifle. The AR offers full-auto for close range, and the BR balances it out by having longer range and headshots at the expense of a lot of damage if you're in AR range. If the weapon set of Reach is anything like H3, then something at least similar to the BR is essential.

Reach needs to be patched. It's the truth.

Until someone proves that the BR was a fully functional and tested weapon during the Battle of Reach, I would not want to see it in the game

its not about realism its gameplay. if you play h1 the weapons are balanced and fair, you can use every weapon effectively if done right minus plasma pistol and neddler. the only reason the pistol was used is for its versatility in the medium to long range, you cant do -blam!- short range making you use other weapons such as ar and shotgun. long range you have to lead your shots making you want to pick up a sniper. there are to many unused weapons in h3 like smg, pistol, spiker, plasma rifle, and plasma pistol.
