Subject: BR in Concept Art

You know, it's torture enough that they're isn't a BR in ODST, but why the hell did they draw a
cool picture of how the BR fits in the drop pod?

Was this concept art made before they came to the decision that there won't be a BR? Didn't the artist know that?

It's really not torture at all actually.

  • 08.01.2009 6:38 AM PDT

My troll sense is tingling.

The thing is, the Automag and new SMG eliminate the need for a BR.

  • 08.01.2009 6:39 AM PDT

Maybe this is before they realised that the auto mag is way cooler and better than the br

Starting proposition before they thought of not putting it in at all.

And why does everybody think that the automag beats the BR? The automag is just a carbine with a smaller magazine.

  • 08.01.2009 6:40 AM PDT

But 3 times more powerful? in Halo:CE it was a 3 headshot kill with the pistol.

Not to mention the Smg has zoom and is now mid ranged making itan autobr.

Br is a dying cause and only the MLG wonnabies are licking the last dropplets out of it? Want to 4shot some scrubs go onto the second disk.

Nothing is set at the beginning. That was a proof of concept piece of art.

Wrong, it's automatic. The carbine isn't.
ie: You hold the right trigger to fire the Automag unlike where you have to keep pressing right trigger for the Carbine.

We'll see. For me it's carbine > automag, let's count the shots we need for a brute.

Edit: And what's the big deal about automatic? How does it affect your gameplay when you press a few times instead of holding it down? Do you aim worse then? I don't.

Wrong the Automag fires as fast as you can pull the trigger.

Yes, but you can fire the Automag 2-3 times for every shot the carbine can fire.

Decisions for gameplay tweaking are often made towards the end of a project. Don't blame the artist.

A dying cause? Last time I checked this was campaign and Firefight, not multiplayer. And c'mon you have to admit it would have been cool to see Bungie change the BR like they did with the new SMG. But still, I suppose the automag fills the exact same role.

Ummmm why would they call it an AUTOmag? If it were the gun you're thinking about it would be a semiautomag.

It may can shoot slightly faster (what I still don't believe), but 2-3 shots per carbine shot is just fail.
