Subject: the BR, at the end of its lifetime?

93% of statistics are lies. Formerly Xfire Grunt. Unfortunately, you can't change the WLID for your BNET account, so I had to create an alternate account. My other WLID was spam city (and it was my e-mail account too).

No the BR was there a long time before...it was called the M16 though.

On a Halo Canon note, the BR was being used in Halo Wars I think, and its on the front cover of the book about Sargeant Johnson (written by a Bungie employee), Contact Harvest.

Ugh...

First on a BWU.. yeah, I'm cool.

ODST;MYTHIC Screenshot winner! One of the first to get their hands on the mythic map pack.

Hopefully not.

Bungie will do the right thing, they arn't going to bring back the broken halo 1 pistol. No pistol sidearm should be shooting down alien airplanes, its just dumb. Hopefully thing create some new weapon with similar abilities, just don't make it a freakin pistol, un-cannon and un-realistic.

br is good. it doesn't really matter to me whether it's in halo reach or not.

  • 07.01.2009 3:50 PM PDT

....whut?

I'd like to see the removal of the 3-shot burst and have the gun reverted to the H2 E3 single shot version. It would be a lot more fun IMO and would require a bit more skill to use (no more sweep-shots).

i never was a fan of the br so I hope they take it out and replace it with ballanced weapons rather than any -blam!- weapons

  • 07.01.2009 4:31 PM PDT

i hope they have a 3 weapons system activated by the D-Pad and you can customize them kinda like a COD game

  • 07.01.2009 4:33 PM PDT

Nomnomnomomnom


I rmb reading (if memory serves me right) that the BR wasn't invented in Halo CE (or it was in testing or something =/) Either way. i prefer if there was none. Give bungie a chance to make more weapons =D

It was invented, but the assault rifle was the Spartan Standard issue (or something to that effect).

the Br should be kept but bungie should add more weapons too

  • 07.01.2009 4:38 PM PDT

if you read the third book
(where cheif goes back to reach)
youll find out that during the battle of reach the battle rifles where handed out to marienes and spartens on the planet
the ship that crashed on halo did not have its armorey fited with the new weapons

  • 07.01.2009 5:50 PM PDT

  • 07.01.2009 6:00 PM PDT

"the joke is in your hand"

actually it was just got out of songnam the morning before the game takes place... lol jk, but it was in its prototype stages during the fall of reach

  • 07.01.2009 7:07 PM PDT

Lets Be FRIENDS!!!! .... Fine lets kill each other.

Yeah your right the BR was put in halo to make a more balance halo they are not going to take it out because it wasn't in some of the books

  • 07.01.2009 7:25 PM PDT

Bungie would loose over half of its good gamers if Reach diddnt have a BR.

Yes!! good point. This proves the BR will be in reach.

  • 07.01.2009 7:35 PM PDT

ah i see you are on my page...good choice

woah this thread went far (probably just cause it has BR in the name ((lol)) ) i just got back and after reading what you guys posted i think the BR should be kept due to all of its worshipers but i think it should be removed because it has the least amount of ammo compared to any gun in the campaing (no i am not counting the brute shot) you agree?

  • 07.01.2009 7:51 PM PDT

FORGE!

Actually, the BR was invented, if you read Halo: Contact Harvest, Staff Sgt: Johnson and Staff Sgt: Brian, i think that is his name, had one when they attacked the Kig-Yar ship.

yes but it wasn't mass produced yet it was just a prototype so i dont think they will be around in the game for spatans to pick up.

"We sleep peaceably in our beds, because rough men stand ready to visit violence upon those that wish to do us harm."

"Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of all those who threaten them."

^Why not? Spartans get the best gear and Reach is the military stronghold why wouldn't they have some BRs? And didn't they grab them in First Strike from Halsey?

Posted by: PhoneyMonkeyman
ok so i just realized this: ODST does not have the BR. the BR has not been invented at the time of reach. all the other books will take place BEFORE halo: CEso doe that mean that halo 3 will be the last halo game with the BR? and what do you think about it leaving?


BR has been around since Harvest...

reply i know but it was still just a prototype and i have just started reading the first strike so i cant speak for that but all i do know is the BR was never mentioned ONCE in reach.
