To play or not to play....

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.


Yeah Bungie took away the pistol and replaced it with another gun that did the same thing only it looked different. Stilla three shot kill to the head and about five to the body.

Shrug so in ODST we are getting a pistol that replaces the BR. Hmmmm seems to be going full circle to me.

We get TWO new scoped weapons to replace one scoped weapon.

I'm pleased, the pistol looks amazing.

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


That's because we didn't know what we were missing.

Actually, I think people are making a bigger deal about saying "I like it because there is no BR." than the people saying "I hate because there is no BR."

Seriously, only the true fans will buy the game because it has HALO written on the cover and it is produced by Bungie. Not because there is/isn't a BR.

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.


Win.

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 think he means halo custom edition which was linked to halo 2 and the ce hadn't got a br. Am i right or not? otherwise sry

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.

It's actually one of the main selling points for me. Now if reach follows this example...

Floodians whom I'm in a love square with:

camer guy 65
D A F T (daft_punk)
Sacred Flea

I watch this on loop when I'm bored.

Avatars aren't allowed to hold weapons such as rifles (melee weapons are okay... for some reason) so it would have never happened anywase.

  • 08.11.2009 5:51 AM PDT

My talents include always knowing the wrong thing to say.

Twitter!

The reason it's important is that it replaced the pistol. Oh look, Automag!

  • 08.11.2009 5:53 AM PDT

Wouldn't it be great if you could have Team Slayer matches on all the maps with one side always spawning with ARs and the other side always spawning with BRs? Then we could see how they compare against each other on different-sized maps. Then we could really see which is the best all-rounder.

I don't care otherwise, ODST looks amazing with the Automag.

I'm 23, I have a house, dog, girlfriend, job and I have no interest in any fanboyism so if you're thinking about sending me a childish PM, don't be surprised when I don't call back.

Why? what is good about replacing a primary weapon with a sidearm? especially the Halo 2 pistol?!?! everyone hated that one?!?!? are you people blind?

  • 08.11.2009 6:16 AM PDT

Reach=Epic

I dont care if there isn't a BR.

Nope, Bungie cut them out


Personally I don't see what all the fuss is about, even though my ToD is the BR

  • 08.11.2009 6:40 AM PDT

Overdose v420v

The BR is a very important weapon that adds a new stratagy to the halo games, it really doesn't even matter about ODST specifically having no BR, cuz after about a month when everyone has gotten most of the achievements and Recon armor, its not going to be played very much anyway. everyone will just go back to Halo 3

Posted by: Overdrive 418What strategy does the BR add that a Carbine doesn't?, Also, ODST is just campaign and Firefight, so Multiplayer balance doesn't need to be considered
