I hope its not in Halo: Reach. We have had it for two games, its time for something new.


So what, you don't want a sniper rifle because we've had it for three games? No rocket launcher? Since it's been in two games, it's become a big part of Halo. I've grown to love it, and I believe that it will disappoint and anger many Halo fans that, like me, love to use the BR.

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

I say remove the BR and replace it with the M6D Pistol, identical in every aspect to the original, except this time it would be a 5 or 6SK inetad of a 3SK.

I would be happy for the M6D pistol come back in Halo: Reach if it's not overpowered like it was in Halo 1 and if you people want it overpowered, then... *Super Facepalm*

battle rifle is a one gun game, you need to make every gun, just as good, like in CoD (dont flame me for being right)

I would prefer no BR, it was just the dominate weapon, giving you no real reason to pick up any other weapon.

However, too many people on Halo 3 and Halo 2 have grown to love the BR, so if they didn't add it or something like it, then Halo 3 will still be populated by a lot of angry gamers.

Good then. Then the BR fanboys could populate Halo 3 and the other Halo fans could play Reach

There were BRs on Reach. I think it was said in Halo: First Strike.

Well I said it should be a 5 or 6 headshot kill instead of 3 (which it was in Halo 1's multiplayer).

The M6D was too strong. Like I said, no M6D, BR, Carbine or ANY SIMILAR WEAPON. I want to be FORCED to vary my weapons up for different situations, not just be able to carry around a BR and win any fight I walk into.


and with only two possible weapon choices that halo favors that would be a great idea

There's a good point, since those pistols were used in Halo 1 and Reach is based just before that.

There will be a BR. End of story.

I believe it is in Reach, because in a video I've seen showing a VARY early animation of a marine getting shot holding a battle rifle.


and the link to this is where?

  • 07.13.2009 11:32 AM PDT

I want a full auto, highly accurate (More accurate when burst fired) rifle with a zoom thats less than the BR, and it should have a headshot bonus.

This would put an end to all of the starting weapon arguments. It would be good at clouse range, but not as powerful as many other weapons. It would be an effective mid range weapon. And it would be much less accurate at long range.

I don't know if you knew this or not, but ODST is completely campaign with the exception of firefight. They constructed two new weapons to replace the BR, the silenced pistol and smg. If anything the silenced pistol is essentially the battle rifle that they didn't place into ODST. It can get headshots and has a zoom.

Bungie won't disappoint the MLG scene by removing the BR. Think of all the kids that go to sleep at night with their precious BR. They would be so upset.

The BR is a stupid weapon. Bungie can remove it and replace it with a Pistol. A Pistol plays the midrange accuracy role in Halo 1 and Halo 3 ODST, so it would make sense both chronologically in bungie's evolution of weapons sandboxes, as well as making sense with the canon (the Spartans were equipped with the specialized M6Ds on the PoA).

Besides, anyone with half a brain knows that MLG was a part of Halo before the BR was. All MLG (and coincidentally, Halo) needs is a midrange accuracy weapon which is versatile and can operate at all ranges, but only best at midrange. In Halo it is the Pistol. In Halo 2/3, the Pistol was replaced by the less accurate and easier-to-use BR.

It pains me to say this (Because of your name) but I agree with you and I do like your idea.

The BR wasn't in Halo: CE so I highly doubt that it would be implemented into Halo Reach.

I say they make the BR single shot (making even harder to use at close range), and reduce the rate of fire of the AR, making it less of a spray and pray weapon.

  • 07.13.2009 11:49 AM PDT

Well Yes if the BR wasn't added for Halo 1 then I doubt it would be put into Reach but as some say it was there as a prototype and even if only a few people had it I'd expect it to be weak,slow or something bad about it.

I highly doubt it will be put into Reach anyway just because Halo 1 didn't have it.
