Subject: do you think Bungie made the right choice by takeing away the BR?

Yes. We will have to rely on other weapons more, such as our new SMGs and Magnums.

yeah but now you can plasma pistol magnum combo take the sheilds down with plasma pistol and finish with 1 shot kill

I think it depends how good and useful the new pistol is. I could see why they would remove it because they want the attention on the new weapons. It still doesn't make sense how every BR in New Mombasa could just disappear though.

it doesnt fit right with ODST you could kill brutes alot easier and it wont give you the feeling of being an ODST...i bet bungie thought this exact same thing when they were first making ODST

Yes. That gun took no skill to use and was overpowered. People used it way too much.

+1 my words exactly


Does not compute. Did the Halo 1 pistol take no skill because it fired faster and killed people more easily? You have to aim for the head. Unlike the AR or any other weapon where it doesn't matter.

Sometimes bungie sacrifices weapons, in halo 2 the pistol and assault rifle, and in halo 3 the brute plasma rifle, and they brought back what looked like the halo 1 pistol at least i think it was but it was much weaker. Its ok at least its still in halo 3.


No, The Halo 3 Magnum is completely different from the Halo: CE Magnum. They're bring back the original for ODST, though. (As well as the Brute Plasma Rifle)

The Halo 3 magnum and Halo: CE magnum are extremely close. The Halo 3 magnum is much more balanced then the Halo: CE for multiplayer. There is a just a slower rate of fire, no scope, and has a little less damage. They look practically the same.

If you actually believe that the Halo: CE magnum was balanced compared to the rest of the weapons, you have a problem. Since when are pistols supposed to be more powerful then assault rifle? NEVER!

Lolular!

Kyletacular-Killtacular-get it?

Yes, its an awful thing, lol

I wonder if were going to see both pistols?

And BTW people, the pistol ain't the Halo 1 pistol, it's an upgraded Halo 2 pistol...

roflcopter.

halo its not halo without the br.

Yeah I'm not to sure... I will need to play the game first. I've been watching the Demo movies and I'd have to say that as of right now I kind of like the fact that there isn't a BR but instead they have a pistol upgraded like the Halo 1 pistol.

why did they say "Any fans of the Halo 1 pistol?" at the conference?

I'm not really sure they're actually trying to create a different kind of gameplay but also keep it the same at the same time, so they created two updated weapons to mix it up.
If we had a BR it would probably be too easy.
