I hate the BR (not because I'm not good with it) so no worries here.

If you don't know who I am, the feeling is mutual.

I honestly don't care. As long as the game is still fun, I don't need a BR. There's still the Carbine and Automag to tide me over.

Besides, I don't want to hear ridiculous amounts of complaining over "who gets the BR?" or "I can't go on without a BR" or "SMG? Noob, I need my BR!" You can deny it, but there are still way too many people in the community who'd do that.

I'm OK without it in the campaign and Firefight, but at least it will still be in custom games and matchmaking. So why argue about it?

  • 08.11.2009 9:10 PM PDT

Also, it will be funny coming back to MM and hearing noobs saying "where's the scoped pistol and silenced SMG?!"

LOL.

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.”

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


They're not exploding bullets theyre high explosive bullets meaning they fragment on contact and shatter, like a needler round
Since when does High Explosive mean hollow point?

This. Removing the retard rifle was great.

But there's no sense crying over every mistake.
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.
And the Science gets done.
And you make a neat gun.
For the people who are still alive.

I do miss my baby..But then again the pistol takes its place and the new smg looks pretty sweet.

The SMG is no longer insanely inaccurate, and now has a silencer. There is a pistol that is also silenced and makes a cool noise. The BR is only alright in Campaign. I bet I use the AR and random Covies weapons more.

How to spell "space"?

S-P-ACE! SPACE!

The Suppressed Magnum is better than the BR. Get over it.

I never liked the BR, though it is sort of a necessary evil in H3 multiplayer. But in Halo 3: ODST? It would have been awful with a BR. I'm pleased it will be gone.

I WARNED YOU ABOUT STAIRS BRO!!!

I TOLD YOU DOG!

I TOLD YOU MAN

I TOLD YOU ABOUT STAIRS

Saying "Halo 2 had a BR so the timeline says there should be one" can be countered with "Halo 1 and 3 had an Assault Rifle so Halo 2 should have had one." It didn't, because someone decided it was superfluous because of the SMG/BR. However, the Automag will probably actually replace the BR more effectively than the BR/SMG replaced the AR.

I think that you have misunderstood the point of these forums.
They are provided by Bungie for the community. They are here for us to communicate with each other. If/when Bungie employees decide to jump in, it is because they are fans too.
This isn't a think tank, feedback system, or suggestion box for Bungie. They've listened to their fan community, but they don't treat this site as a conduit to the "pulse of the people". And it certainly isn't the Oracle at Delphi for the fans.

No BR = no MLG or whining n00bs.

There were MLG tourneys in Halo 1, Halo 1 + no BR

  • 08.12.2009 1:57 AM PDT

im fine because there isnt a multiplayer, but if there was, i might not be able to play it O.o i would always run into noobs that cant aim, then 4 shots would be fired, we would both melee and we would both fall down dead. With the br, i can get a nice clean 4 shots to the head from medium distance.

EDIT

i think it would make the campaign too easy >.>, 4 people with brs = killing everything in about 1 second

People keep telling me to get a life... I am getting an education, I have a lovely girlfriend and alot of friends... I thought this was having a life? Gues I was wrong...

After it was annouced it wasnt going to be in ODST, I stopped using it in Halo 3 campaign just so I wouldnt shout out "Damnit! Where is my damn BR" in ODST when I cant hit something 100 yards away.

Trolls are insecure about their own pathetic lives that they act cool behind a keyboard.
Go back to being a failure kid.

Long as there's a Carbine, I'm happy.

But the BR is good for Campaign...

Bungie=Bungie's so awesome I have no words
Finished Halo: Reach campaign legendary solo!

i like the idea of no br and a spartan laser, because who would have a br. the only rason there is a spartan laser is because dutch is a heavy weapon specialist.

And that's bad?

I'm 23, I have a house, dog, girlfriend, job and I have no interest in any fanboyism so if you're thinking about sending me a childish PM, don't be surprised when I don't call back.

I knew this wuld come up, What has MLG got to do with the BR? The BR is a primary weapon in the halo universe and has a very important and tactical role. A pistol no matter how advanced is a side arm.

I want the BR just because it makes more sense not because i'm some MLG fanboy, I hated the pistol in halo:CE not because of it's usefulness (It was godly) it was just the fact that it made no sense.

  • 08.12.2009 6:30 AM PDT

For the campaign on halo 3 it was a good weapon. If you had 3 grunts close to each other and you can aim it accordingly the br would headshot them all. It also did a fair about of damage on brutes. All this could have been doen from a distance too. I think now it's goen it will make it so you have to get upclose to enimies and fight more. Appart from the pistol of course :S.
