Think about it, you're alone in the ruins of New Mombasa finding clues about what happend to your squad but while your looking for a flash back you're fighting 'Brute Squads' not 17 brutes in a room with camo so there is no reason for the 'over used' 'over powerd' BR, but I can also see why people want it so bad, to take out the squads from a distance(IF thats what people want it for idk) but the auto-mag is used for the there for being no use at all for the BR.

I've already read all of the halo books today you stupid nerd. Plus Halo:Fall of reach twice.

The people in this thread that said the BR sucks are captains or below.

Doc: "i'm a pacifist"
Caboose: "your a thing that babies suck on?"
Tucker: "no dude, that's a pedephile"
Church: "tucker, i think he means a pacifier"

Maybe they wanted to give the game a fresh feel, and removed the most over utilized weapon in Halo3. ODST is meant to be a different feel, why keep it exactly like Halo3? That would be foolish.

Go back to playing Halo: CE then, if you want a fresh feel.

the answer is really simple bungie just wants to make it a harder campaign
obviously they got rid of duel wielding cause that makes the game easier

and some of you guys may think "OMGosh i love the br". . . well i guess you have to love a new gun for this campaign and will most likely will love the pistol (magnum) cause that thing is freakin cool

  • 07.21.2009 3:38 PM PDT

Because there is an automag.

There are no BR cause the ODST stole all the AR before Halo 2 started, so in revenge Master Chief and Johnson delayed the ODST there shipment of BR for another week.

Well, I guess I don't. I'm perfectly fine with melee until I find a sniper and a carbine. There is no way in hell I'm going to use a crappy pistol.

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! =]


easy!! swap it with the pistol. also the smg is scoped! ^^ its only campaign who cares, plus you still have the carbine. SO GET OVER IT!!

  • 07.21.2009 4:44 PM PDT

Link or it didn't happen.

but if you look in the concept art+the part where it explains the drop pod i noticed that there was a compartment that the BR was stored in....but that might only be for the commanding officer....I'm not really sure.

Halo 3 ODST is the first attempt (since Halo: CE) to bring the franchise back to it's roots. One of the main consequences (for most people) is that the Battle Rilfe is removed. When you picked up a copy of Halo 2, you must have been surprised that the Assault Rifle was missing. What did you do? You adapted. You picked up an SMG (or another weapon) and began your campaign of terror. This fact holds true for every installment of the Halo series, whether a weapon was added or removed. You in the end adapted.

(A side Note)

The OP sounds like a typical BR crazed general who will completely ignore the next Halo game without a BR. (No offense to any generals out there)

Yes I am a Luetunant but I pwn in MM with the BR, the only reason I said that the BR being taken out was good because:

1. There is no MM so no need.
2. The pistol replaces it's short/mediam range.
3. The SSMG replaces the power of the BR.
4. The BR was useless against hunters(unless if they're confused)
5. The BR was used in CQB's not at medium range like it was supposed to be.

So there, the BR was taken out for a good reason.

I just realized how awesome wrecking the enemy team with a Focus Rifle from atop the Spire is. It's magical. It's like Concussion Rifle vs Sword/Shotgun.

Im pretty sure there has been 20 other threads on it no need to make a point in another thread rather than putting it in the same thread that has been made already

Go back to playing Halo: CE then, if you want a fresh feel.

Actually, its supposed to be the opposite... The new games are supposed to be fresh, not the old ones. What's fresher, a year old tomato, or a day old tomato...?

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.

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

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

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)

This is a Halo CE like pistol.
That Pistol> BR
