From what I have heard there is no BR. Is that correct? Well Halo 2 BR and Halo 3 BR and ODST is kind of a Halo 2.5 so why is there a Spartan Laser and not a BR?

It's fine withought a br and personaly the pistol fits that gap nicely.

o and the pistol has EXPLODING BULLETS! read the feled guide

it looks like odst is a close ranged game anyway

  • 07.28.2009 10:43 AM PDT

i think the reason the spartan laser is goin to be in it,
because the Odst were goin to be reinforcements to the marine on the ground,
so they would be equiped with better weapons

Stop being such a Jim.

Why don't you shut up?

They're not exploding bullets theyre high explosive bullets meaning they fragment on contact and shatter, like a needler round

I'm ok without it they got the new pwnage smg and an awesome pistol and personally i never really liked the br except for the fact that it has good range and headshots in halo.

  • 07.28.2009 12:47 PM PDT

I speak the truth, and truth speaks itself.
The lies disguise what you despise.
Run. Flee and be, what you've always dreamed.
What happens now won't matter later.
What you see will not be, nor what you imagine will not happen.
The end is close, so take your dose.

It doesn't require skill.

  • 07.28.2009 12:48 PM PDT

I dunno what to say about myself.

there are more weapons that would seem to make it fine without

pistol is more deadly and accurate

the smg is more accurate


together, everything is fine

I believe the reason that there isn't one is that Halo 3 is VERY focused on the BR now. They wanted people to have a new experience in ODST, so they did not include it, so people have to find new strategies for survival.

  • 07.28.2009 12:53 PM PDT

I don't care, as long as they keep it in MM.

  • 07.28.2009 1:07 PM PDT

Im fine without the br, because we get the brute plasma rifle back!

No High Explosive means it's EXPLOSIVE! fragmentation is different.
A lil Wikipedia 4 u

High explosive compounds detonate at rates ranging from 3,000 to 9,000 meters per second, and are, conventionally, subdivided into two explosives classes, differentiated by sensitivity:

Primary explosives are extremely sensitive to mechanical shock, friction, and heat, to which they will respond by burning rapidly or detonating. Examples include mercury fulminate, lead styphnate and lead azide.
Secondary explosives, also called base explosives, are relatively insensitive to shock, friction, and heat. They may burn when exposed to heat or flame in small, unconfined quantities, but detonation can occur. These are sometimes added in small amounts to blasting caps to boost their power. Dynamite, TNT, RDX, PETN, HMX, and others are secondary explosives. PETN is the benchmark compound; compounds more sensitive than PETN are classed as primary explosives.

Long story short They GO BOOM FOOL!

Trust me i know my high explosives.

I make a legitimate thread on the most logical choice for the next Bond actor, and you take that away from me by creating a parody thread indirectly connecting my thread to yours.

I hope your kids have bad influences and develop bad personalities. I wish this with all my heart.

Neither are the Halo 1 Pistol. That's all I'm gonna say.

Your friendly and eccentric Sangheili forum-poster. :)

The Battle Rifle was ruined in Halo 3, it sounded horrible and looked square in comparison to the one in Halo 2. It also had the randomness that is the spread, which doesn't really encourage accuracy much.

I'm okay without it. I've got my M6C Automag.

I intend to live forever, or die trying,

so far, so good.

Well if you read the Books, they had BR in Contact Harvest which is set many years before Halo CE, yet no BR untill Halo 2.

And speaking of the Laser, you had no Laser in Halo2.

What about Elites, MC didn't fight any brutes on Earth in Halo 2.

ODST has no elites.

We have the Halo CE pistol, sort off.
