oh for christ sake your all acting like kids. cant you just accept that the battle rifle is good is you know how to use and bad if you dont? like me i cant shoot something dead in front of me with a br but put me in a snipers game and well.... pack it up fights over ( at the risk of quoting fallout 3)

We have Evolved Combat
We have gone to War
We have Finished The Fight
We have Remembered Reach

Forza Italia!

I like the BR... But I can do without it in ODST. The silenced SMG and Pistol seem to do enough damage from the looks of the videos I've seen. :D

atleast for all you br people you get a scoped pistol and smg

Im glad there is no BR

I would like the Battle Rifle to be in ODST, but I dont care either way.

Im getting it, I just dont know when. My Xbox is broke, and Im getting a tattoo so I'll likely not be able to buy it as soon as it comes out.

I am the hand of fate!

Meh, both are powerful mid/long (even though the Auto-Mag looks for medium) range weapons that are overpowered because there are so few mid-range guns in the rest of the games. Either way, not wanting the BR is ODST is just dumb-all you're asking for is less diversity, I can see someone not wanting it in Reach, but in ODST?

i guess alot of us are tired of the 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.

Yes, since before MLG no one ever used BRs and MLG made them popular.... -blam!- idiot.

blue max70......i agree with you sir, i have played and beat halo 1 with out the br (because it was not in there.....i beat halo 3 with out useing the BR at all because i just dont like it .
here is my AR and here is my pistol 2 best friends that should have never been seperated

Posted by: Blue Max70
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.

I'm a 15 year old stuck in the middle of nowhere. Machinima director, screenplay writer, novelist, jazz musician, and Photoshop junkie.

The M6C SOCOM is one of the main reasons I am even getting it. Return to the pistol. i like that.

Acta Non Verba

BR or not I alreadly pre-ordered it so, yeah, i'm getting it.

  • 08.04.2009 3:04 PM PDT

Thou hast been out BR'ed and now wilst feast most succulently upon my bageth of tea

as far as my stats go i use the br about 30% of the time. but that doesn't mean its not going to be in the matchmaking, it just wont be in the campaign. and even though a perfect headshot to a grunts dome with a BR is indeed a rewarding kill, this will give us plenty of opportunities to use the new m6 pistol and silenced smg, and the return of the brute plasma rifle. so dont fret too much people you'll only be without the precious battle rifle for only about 6 hours or however long the campaign takes you.

There pistol is basically a BR replacement... Who cares what the main weapon is? As long as there's a main weapon, it doesn't matter what form it comes in.

Enig, do not click this.

odst was in the time the unsc just made the BR so most likey the BR will be there and halo reach probly wont have the BR because it's before Halo: combat evolved.

Doc: "i'm a pacifist"
Caboose: "your a thing that babies suck on?"
Tucker: "no dude, that's a pedephile"
Church: "tucker, i think he means a pacifier"

The BR was poorly implemented and balanced form the get-go, and they have never been able to rebalance it since. Honestly when I read a preview from E3 stating that the game felt like CE, I was overjoyed. I look forward to some crazy Firefight sessions that actually require one to strategize and not simply rely on the "utility weapon of the gods" that so many current Halo fans made the BR out to be.
