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.


fixed.


Does it really matter if somebody isn't great with a BR? maybe YOU'RE the noob for not knowing how to use any other weapon.
He doesn't even have G-TAG anyway.

Of course not. The SS7 more than makes up for it.

I out-BR people with Magnums. Shotgun vs BR = Shotgun, AR vs BR = AR, Plasma Rifle vs BR = Plasma Rifle



a shotgun, an AR, and a plasma rifle, are only effective at close range... a person with a BR could easily take them out in a few seconds...

i guess if u dual wielded a magnum and landed mostly headshots youd be ok... cuz the magnum's rate of fire to damage ratio isnt as good as the BR's

and yeah, the BR is pretty much the best ALL-AROUND weapon you could use...

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


Because before Haloce there's wasn't a BR...:O

I can't believe such a small and optional item is taken out from a game just because developers feel like it. The new SMG and pistol replace pretty much every weapon so I don't see why all of the weapons aren't removed. It's like in HaloCE we only needed AR and Pistol to kill everything.

Things like this make me wonder what the developer is thinking. It doesn't mean the game can't be good though, just that it won't be a perfect Halo game.

I totally agree.

im a flamin ninja and im ok, i kill all night and i flame all day

i like the br but i am sick of being owned by a group of 3 or 4 enemies who all shoot you once in the head and you die.

The Br is a weapon that gets the job done but who cares if its not there we've got the automag and the silenced smg. Basicly Bungie replaced the br with the automag and gave us the silenced smg.

.......................you're annoying......

No ME?!?!?.......Anyway point.i would buy it even if all the weapons were to change!BR or no BR.I still dont get why some people love the halo 1 pistol but hate the BR?The BR replaced the pistol so arent they similar?Is it because of the Br's brust shot?

  • 08.15.2009 6:06 AM PDT

The new AutoMag and silenced SMG both zoom in as far as the BR. and the automag is more powerful.

Dude I don't care and my grammer is perfect.I used "Big", as you recall it to mak is specific."to not do...",is incorrect beause "do" is present tense/perfect(or future) when it was a past tense.

Exactly. It renders all the other weapons next to useless, which is why it's good that it's being taken out.

  • 08.15.2009 8:22 AM PDT

He who runs, dies last. I suggest you run.

I'm not only buying ODST in spite of no BR's. I preodered the special edition because there's no BR.

Exactly! If you are good with it than it can pretty much beat anything with a couple of exceptions like the Sniper Rifle.

I thiknk the BR is a good gun, perhaps the AR/pistol could be given a damage boost to match it but it would be a shame if it was left out of Reach as well.

I really don't get it, everyone was complaining about the pistol being overpowered but everyone had it making the gun perfectly balanced.

to be fair, if 4 people gang up on you your dead no matter what weapons they have

i dont get why everybody seems to think the BR is overpowered. It is beaten by most weapons at close range, its nearly impossible to hit somebody enough times at long range and by strafing you can avoid some of its bursts altogether, meaning you will probably beat it with an AR or pistol.

Plus duals/needlers/power weapons can usually beat it at mid-range anyway. Honestly, its not that good.

You said the BR can beat anything with a couple of exceptions. I wouod just like to point out:

At close range, it is beaten by:
The AR, the plasma rifle, dual anything, a sniper (1 hit/melee), the needler, shotgun, sword, hammer, brute shot, rlauncher, plasma pistol (if charged), splaser, fuel rod gun, flamethrower, etc...

At mid range it's at its best, but it is still be beaten by:
The needler, rocket launcher, fuel rod, sniper, splaser, duals (two magnums especially), and possibly the AR,(if you strafe and fire in bursts), a turret gun, etc...

And at long range, its near-impossible to hit a moving target, meaning the player will have enough time to find cover.

So basically, the BR isnt really overpowered, most weapons can beat it.

The BR can be beat fairly easily But the first halo pistol could barely be beat yes I will miss the BR but if this pistol in ODST is as good as in the first halo then I'm gonna be upset.....

Why? It's not like it's going to be able to be used in online in the H3 multiplayer. Just for Firefight and Campaign, where it really doesn't matter if there's a balance issue.

It does matter if a game is balanced whether its in campaign or multiplayer I don't like the pistol in halo 1 or halo 3 I think the pistol in halo 2 was pretty good and I'm sad that the battle rifle wont be returning in this game
