Ever since Halo 2 the BR has become a very important part of the Halo universe, but only because some noobs in the first Halo decided to band together against the pistol because "OH NOOZZ IT OVRPWRD!!!" Practically half the reason I am buying this is because there is no BR and frankly I hope theres no BR in Reach either I would like to go back to the way Halo was meant to be. Ar and pistol.

People bought Halo: CE and no one complained that there wasn't a BR.

I agree I hate BRs ever since MLG came piopular in Halo 3 and everyone started using them and all that -blam!- the game became really annoying.

I cant' aim, and I need a weapon that can kill in 6 bullet + melee with a crazy bullet magnetism and a reticle as big as half of my hand. I can't outBR someone and I get my ass handed to me on H3.

That's because the BR didn't exist back then.....

Check out the group, Planet Reach and talk about Bungie's next game without the annoyance of the public forum. Oh and it's nice there too.

You thought you had lag, it took Jesus 3 days to re-spawn.

Your title and the body of your post conflict slightly. It is a good way to make sure people read your post though.

Why would someone not buy it just because the BR isn't there. That would be ridiculous.

EDIT- And the BR did exist during Halo: CE. It goes at least back to when Reach fell and possibly back when Harvest was attacked.

That's because it hadn't been designed yet. The BR is good for taking out Grunts and Jackal Marksmen. That's it. Otherwise, give me a Shotgun or a Rocket Launcher any day.

I need think a little bit first. maybe I should check this guys game history or service record and look up how many Br kills he has rather than basing an opinion off of false facts


fixed.
I think you should too.

Frankly, I heavily favor the BR, so I look forward to ODST and being forced NOT to use it. It will, in the long run, make me more effective on Halo 3 multiplayer.

Why do people complain so much about guns? It's really sad honestly.

Yes, I am quite aware of that.

It's just a weapon. A single weapon in a game. It's replaced by a weapon just as good and the Carbine. It's safe to say that the BR wasn't necessary. If it was in, everyone would be freaking out when they ran out of ammo.

It is a big deal guns are what allow you to win in game. It is a very important topic. Fail.

You sir, are fail. It's this bullspit (Peachtree TV movies) that makes everyone hate people like you because it's supposedly the best weapon in the game. It really isn't. I out-BR people with Magnums. Shotgun vs BR = Shotgun, AR vs BR = AR, Plasma Rifle vs BR = Plasma Rifle. The BR is really horrible. So stop blaspheming this "BR IS DA BESTEST WEPPIN EVAR" crap and stick to your MLG and leave us normal players alone. We don't like your kind so...in the words of Gollum: "Leave now, and never come back!"

Your right in a way. The BR isn't horrible if your good with it but I would prefer the Jesus gun over it anyday. Why? Because the BR is my second highest tool of destruction on my service record, melee being my highest imagine all the kills people would be getting over the BR.

Technically it was at least in prototype during the events of CE. We know it was in the Halo universe as far back as Reach and possibly Harvest.

The BR should stay for Reach but I'm ok with it taking a break for ODST.

I don't see the problem. We have Carbines, and those are a tiny bit better than a BR. And I'm buying it because this game needs more skill than Halo 3, and there is no BR but the good ol' Magnum so I'm really happy about that.

Halo 3 = God Game
Halo 3: ODST = Awesome game
Halo Reach = (I hope its beyond God game!)

I earned Recon!
OXM, thanks for the mythic code!

The BR is only a gun, please! It is a good one, but bungie wanted some players to actually try and use another gun in the game, Besides, the super powered magnum definately makes up for that! The silenced SMG is also another new gun to look forward to. ODST is just going to be an awesome game, with or without BR.

Don't be so ignorant.
You know well that the BR didn't exist back then, and at that time the pistol pretty much worked as the BR.
