Well the squad had two BRs and they were prototypes; we don't know when the BR came into full service, though since the Spartans under Fred only found the BR deep inside CASTLE base, it was most likely still not a front-lines weapon.
so it was like... a sepcops weapon? and spartans are like... commandos, right? >:3
OP :
there will be a BR. but probably no carbine.
BR : because halo games need a med-long ranged weapon. NO, the HCE pistol can NOT come back. it was absolutely unbalanced in HCE, and that was the only reason it was that powerful, the devs didn't think "guys lets make a med to long range weapon!!!!!"
no carbine : I think the covie said somewhere the carbine is a covenant response to the BR. since they didn't encounter BRs before, they couldn't make a reponse to it.
Well they weren't specops weapons, they were prototypes that the ONI officer let Johnson use with his militia because of the imminent Covenant threat. They wouldn't really be battlefield weapons...
I personlly would like the Halo 1 pistol to return (though this time a 5 or 6 shot kill instead of 3 for MP); it could be midrange like in Halo 1 and in Halo 3 ODST. They could also make the AR midrange for once, where if you use single shots, it has as much range (but way less power than) the Battle Rifle did in 2/3, but up close in full auto, it would be as inaccurate as the Halo 1 Assault Rifle. It would be as weak as the H1/H3 AR on bodyshots... but there could also be a headshot bonus (2x damage?) so you could out-AR someone, and could combat a pistol at midrange.
