Q) How can there be no BR? A1) Easily
.......................................................A2) Because Bungie is over the Br, its made the game over over competitive and less fun...........(minus the pointless AR spam)

The BR is the most Versitle gun in Halo 2 and 3. This is Halo 3: ODST. You'll find a gun thats just as good in this game. Maybe the pistol? The Silenced SMG?


Or the Carbine?

really?this is really almost 3 pages long.....its just like the AR...gone in h2 but back in h3.so it will probably be back in halo:reach

  • 07.21.2009 8:03 AM PDT

I feel naked with this open, quick, close the damn thing before I get a cold...

The Silenced SMG is now more accurate anyhows, I don't think the ODST's should really have BR', ODST's are meant to be a little weaker, taking out the BR is fine in my opinion.

And for those of you still crying, go play halo 2, it'll make you feel better : )

Man is born free but everywhere he is in chains.

Well the BR could tear through Grunt after Jackal after Drone and even mop up a few Brutes pretty quickly. Since players will be playing as an ODST, Bungie wants the ODST players to use new tactics. In this case the tactics will exclude the good ol' "rush in and destroy the Covies with your BR." Plus players are being given a scoped pistol again along with a silenced SMG with sights... so smile =D

And then there is the Carbine, which I actually prefer over the BR... but thats for a different thread.

I take it no one in here has read any of the halo books of played Halo 3 and watched what the ODSTs use. In H3 and all the books with ODSTs, they do use BRs. They used them for boarding action in The Cole Protocol as a propelant in space. Fired off bursts as thrusters to get from one ship to another.

  • 07.21.2009 8:10 AM PDT

ummmmm...I'll have the overkill with a side of extermination! and a Dr.Pepper

BR= quick 4 shot when ur a pr

Carbine= skillful enough to get headshots

and ur trying to be stealthy this isnt te halo when u jump around crazy and get headshos just imagine the supressed smg a br and shoot 3 bullets then stop and shoot again

  • 07.21.2009 8:11 AM PDT

Nobody sees...Nobody knows...

BE A HERO!!!

I believe the smg will be just as useful as the BR in short, precise shots. I found that the AR can be used the same way. Try it in halo 3 forge. It takes have the shots to kill someone than just wasting an entire magazine. Even though it is only helpful in MM in some moments.

Hey! Listen! HEY!- The words of Navi

The BR will be crap compared to the new pistol.

  • 07.21.2009 8:53 AM PDT

I'ma beam them up.

Meh, without a BR the only other weapon to use is the sniper. Looks like I'll be melee'ing Covenant 'til I find a sniper. Screw the SMG and pistol. I'd be happier with Frostmourne than those two pieces of crap.

You forgot the pistol, nub.

The BR sure is a lot of fun, but I think they just wanted to put in a bit Halo:CE flair in it.
There wasn't a BR in Halo:CE but an automag with zoom. The sniper had night vision and there are a few other commonnesses.

And the BR isn't crap compared to the not new pistol. BR > pistol. Pistol = carbine with smaller magazine.

Du-hergan!

how can you not get over it

  • 07.21.2009 9:27 AM PDT

Vancouver BC, Canada.

Because BRs mess up gameplay.

  • 07.21.2009 10:17 AM PDT

Noobs can't handle AR/Pistol Spawns.

MLG/BR fanboy? Get over it, your getting annoying. Your as in You're, and Your as in the people who are complaining there is no BR.

I mean the events start after Metropolis and the BR was there so why? Theres a Carbine but no BR? Just doesn't make sense to me, so if someone could clear this up for me thank you! =]

So you're unable to read? Or should I have bolded the word "pistol" so it's easier to see?

I don't see why you hate on the BR it is one of the best guns on the game, just because your not good with it or anything like that doesn't mean it sucks or is overused. I mean you probably overuse the AR so you can't be complaining.

I read.
But why would you want a crappy BR when you could have a pistol that overpowers it?

  • 07.21.2009 3:13 PM PDT

why are you looking at this?

because they have the automag which is basically a silenced version of the BR in the form of a pistol.

The so-called "crappy BR" is way better than your sorry pistol. Why would I want a weapon that only holds a 12 round clip that has a short-medium range when I could have a rifle that has a clip 3x the size and better range? Pistols are for close combat (which is boring)
