Yes. There is a pistol to replace it's role in ODST's Campaign.

You see, its a bit awkward to deal with a medium ranged dual wieldable weapon in Halo's sandbox, so they solved the problem by giving the Halo CE's Pistol's niche to the Battle Rifle. Halo 3 again had dual wielding, so no scoped pistol, so the battle rifle returns.

In ODST however, the protagonist can't dual wield, so one does not need to worry about the problems of having a dual-wieldable medium ranged weapon, so they decided to bring it back.


If you play as a spartan in Reach, you will probably be able to dual wield, so the BR will return.

if not a BR, then it'll have an equivalent.

think about it : the BR is a mid-long range weapon. you NEED one in every video game.

I hope it wont return. It seems like the most boring weapon in halo right now.

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

I would rather have the M6D Pistol, downgraded (identical in every way except a 5-6SK instead of a 3SK). I don't like the BR, but we need a midrange headshot weapon.

This is not a confirmation, it is a deduction, big difference. Personally I would hope that the BR does not make it's way into Reach, the BR streamlined Halo MP gameplay for the worst when it was released in Halo2. Many older fans of the franchise, and those that don't just like another camp'n shoot FPS, are not fans of the effect the BR has had on gameplay.

Well if there is going to be a weapon similar to the BR, then it needs to be something different. We have had to use the same weapon for two games, its time for something new.

Agreed except for long range, but its more powerful and it dosent have the -blam!- retarded spread.

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

I hope not.

How are you sure the vid you saw was Halo Reach? There have been several fan-works that could easily be mistaken for 'in-development" games.

The M6D pistol (aka halo ce pistol), what he wants is the M6D with a 5-6 shot kill because the halo ce pistol had a 3sk.
