Fact 2: European guys are hotter

I guess I can understand if you don't want to make out with guys in the US if they're so ugly, you should just say so though.

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! =]




I like the BR as much as you, but your name just makes you look like a retard.

Some people never see the light till It shines though bullet holes.

Vote for the most underated weapon

group to talk about halo reach with no spam

Your exactly right its after metropolis. Also that fight took place in Old Mombassa. This fight takes place in New Mombassa. Plus the br doesnt have a silencer so it isnt as stealthy as a silenced automag.

Plus bungie wanted something new and the automag seems br enough for me.

I wonder if they will release any new weapons into the game. Not much of a chance, but would love it.
theres the automag which isnt that new and a silenced smg which is kinda new

They want this to be like Halo 1 with the golden rules of 3. Shooting, grenades, and melee. That was the the first recipe. Bungie is going back to it's roots on this games.

Rule 6: Respect the Admins

“It’s their website, and they can do whatever the hell they like with it. You’re a guest, and hassling them about how they run things is akin to going round your Auntie’s house and curling one out in her tea-pot.”

Because you are getting a mother -blam!- pistol that kills in four headshots, has the same -blam!- scope, holds more shots in general (pistol 40 shots, BR 36 shots), and can fire as fast as you can pull the -blam!- trigger.

Why are people still crying about this???

Because it's a -blam!- pistol. Pistols are pathetic pieces of -blam!-. Rifles > pistols any day. Put the same stats of the new pistol in a rifle form, and many people will be happy.

Pistols aren't pathetic. You are for not playing Halo: CE and using that Godly Pistol. If Bungie claims that this new pistol is similar to the Halo: CE pistol, then its Godly. Rifles have some merit, that is true, but you haven't read my first post on page 3. Maybe you should look at that and then shut up.

I still have no reason to use the pistol or the smg.

I was in 5th grade. I popped in the Halo CE disc into the massive, clunky first generation Microsoft Xbox, and wrapped my small hands around the controller that was almost too big for me. Little did I know what I was getting into.

10+ years later, I still look up to my childhood hero, Master Chief, while everyone talks about He Man and Spongebob haha

There are two reasons.

The first reason can be because of the nature of the ODST's original mission. To infilitrate Regret's supercarrier. Like stated before, in the small halls of a covvie capital ship, there'd be a need for cqb weapons, and not a long barreled weapon such as the BR.

Buck gave Romeo a sniper rifle assuming that he would die with it on the ship, haha!

The second reason is that Bungie wanted to try something new and return back to a pistol that was similar to that of the M6D HE Pistol. Having the BR would interfere with this concept, as well as duplicate weapons.

Why have the need for two weapons that both zoom in and have the same level of versatility in terms of accuracy and rate of fire? (BR's 3 rd burst compared to the pistol's 'as fast as you can pull the trigger' pretty much evens out).

I personally like the BR because of its versatility and looks. ACOG scope and digital ammo counter, and its role as a combat rifle as UNSC marines weild it just look cool.

But if the pistol provides just as much versatility, or even more, then I'll be happy. Besides, having four weapons with scopes would be just a little too much...

Almost a copy of my first post but you got it right :D

I'ma beam them up.

Reasons for you to use them. Doesn't mean they're reasons I should use them.

I would rather have a large variety of weapons to choose from, than have a single weapon forced down my throat.

Guess what? Bungie isn't including the BR. Guess what BR fanatics have to use? Oh that's right, any other weapon. Adaption. You don't have to use the SMG or pistol. There are all the other weapons in the game.

Then be quiet saying that the smg and pistol are the best weapons ever and I need to use them.

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 don't need a BR to have fun.

Haha, I just read your first post. Great minds think alike.

I love how you wrote "No offense to any generals."

I get your drift, but any person who will overlook a great game just because of a weapon not in there is just plain stupid. Also, a game doesn't need ranks to be enjoyable.

Did I say they were the best weapons? No. What I did say the the Halo: CE pistol was Godly and they are implementing another version of it in Halo 3 ODST. Did I say you have to use those weapons? No. I did say you have adapt to use other weapons besides your coveted BR. Apparently you haven't read in between the lines in my original post. Why don't you be quiet and read my posts in order to understand my main drive?

The needler was dual wieldable in Halo 2 but it's not any more HOW CAN THAT BE?

They put half of my mother's weight into every single needler magazine.
Therefore, you can't hold two.
