Meh, carbine is still there...


but i kinda like the idea of being alone in a city with scarce ammo, having to best use the minimal armaments you do have

I was once on Bungie Faves. (Feb.7-15)
I'd like to know why I can't see the signatures of others of myself on the forum. I have made favs once, 7777 campaign kills, and I helped bring modders down when they were at their strongest

I honestly don't care, I think it would be better without so people will focus use on other guns. I use the BR whenever I can in H3. A change would be nice. :)

Halo CE Pistol > Halo Battle Rifle

If any of you guys play Halo Custom Edition a map called "Snow Grove" has the BR, the scoped pistol, AR and the assault carbine (MA5K?). Its pretty balanced, each one is suited for every situation.

Your friendly and eccentric Sangheili forum-poster. :)

I've said this a thousand times before, but how can anyone like the Battle Rifle in Halo 3, when it was much more fun to use in Halo 2, and much less square looking. It's about time something replaced it, and good riddance. Don't get me wrong, I'm not one for replacing weapons as I'd much rather just have them added rather than replacing something, but the Battle Rifle outstayed it's welcome in Halo 3.
/Strong opinion.

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 really dont care the BR wasnt put in and BTW Halo was not meant to play a certain way thats what makes it great. If you dont like it dont use it.

How come I never get the sniper rifle?!

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

And the game blew away both of its sequals in my opinion. We dont need the BR. We have seven perfectly good scoped weapons that are much cooler in my opinion.

why do some people think "oh he usin AR what a noob" or "OMGZ N0 BR'Z IN 0DST ITZ N0T G0NNA BE HAL0!!11!!!11!!"
the br is an overated gun the only reason some people use it is because the H3 AR is crap if we still had the Halo CE AR then it would be used over the br by alot of people so if you think that the br is halo don't get ODST then, no-one cares go ahead don't get it, no-ones forcing you


well the Halo CE AR had to be powerful considering the lack of weapons in the game. you really dont have to go flame crazy on the BR that doesnt make for good discussion really. Some people prefer the BR because how well overall it is.The AR is a good weapon to. It just isnt as good OVERALL meaning at all ranges as the BR it is better close range but not as effective at longer distances.

I'll pay $10 bucks more cuz of no br at game stop! He'll be like,"okay, that's 10 bucks as your change!" "Keep it." And i'll be on my way out!

lols everyone knows bulletproof glass cannot withstand teacups thrown by russian women.

My two cents...

The BR is an excellent, versatile weapon. Long to medium range, it's your definite fallback weapon. However, it is true that the BR is not meant to be used at very close range. The AR, Shotgun, Plasma Rifle, and just about anything else can destroy someone wielding a BR at close range.

So, don't hate on the weapons. Use whichever one suits the situation. I like the BR, but I don't refuse to drop it for other weapons if the situation demands it. If someone is trying to BR me at close range, you can be be AR will probably take them out (unless they get a lucky 4-shot). But you can't deny the usefulness of any weapon. Try to take someone out from fifty feet with an AR, and you're dead. Similarly, get into a close-range standoff with a BR vs. SMG, and Mr. BR is doomed.

Yeah.

You do realise the BR is still in multiplayer?

It's just not in the campaign =]

Rule 6: Respect the Admins

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.


Prototype stage at Harvest =-)

Microsoft's carelessness was a colossal failure.
They failed to protect Halo 2,
When the great journey is upon us
Their heresy will stay their feet.
And they will be left behind.

There may still be a Covenant Carbine in the game, that could help. Abd I prefer Carbine over BR.
