Subject: Halo: CE BR?

-Gando

So a couple of weeks ago I go to my friend house and we play Halo: Combat Evolved. It is the first time I had ever played the game, and we only beat the first mission on Heroic. I wielded the AR, which was awesome, the pistol, just amazing and the Sniper Rifle, along with a few Covenant weapons including the plasma pistol. So I was just wondering if there was a BR in Halo: CE. All comments would be thankful. :D

Soon to be breaking news:


US Coast Guard prepares for massive rescue mission after Iranian fleet sinks off shore. Reports say a small thunderstorm caused most of the ships to simply...fall apart.

No.
Besides, who needs the BR when you have the pistol?

The BR and the OLD M-6D are quite similar in performance. I prefer the pistol as it carries ten spare clips to the BR's three. The BR is more realistic as an infantry weapon though.

Voilà!In view,a humble vaudevillian veteran,cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate.This visage, no mere veneer of vanity,is a vestige of the vox populi,now vacant, vanished.However,this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation,stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.

Since when was Halo about realism?

There is no BR, thank God. The M6D is better in all regards. If you need 'em, I can provide reasons.

Fortunately, the BR is not in Halo: CE. Besides, you have the Pistol! : D

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.

What other M6D is there?

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.

It's not about realism but it attempts a realistic perspective otherwise the hog wouldn't have wheels it would drive on flapping ears and we would control it with a remote control on a big wire?

It's not about realism per se but a little bit is always welcome, i loved Halo:CE over any Halo game but the fact is that the pistol didn't make sense, i used it online because you have to in order to win but i still hated it the look of it?

The BR makes sense that's all he's saying.

No,there is no Battle Rifle in Halo:Combat Evolved,but in Halo:Custom Edition (the downloadabe add on,free for Halo:PC users) the Battle Rifle was integrated into several maps via mods.Nothing beats BR fights on z_Sanctuary.

I always offer fair game and usually allow some "extermination" of my teammates. I think that anyone should be able to play Halo or any other game they please.

The pistol is combing a sniper rifle with a pistol. The Battle Rifle makes no sense because although modern combat weapons can have scopes, most don't have them. It puts it to shame. They should have kept it the way it was.

There is the M6S, in Halo3: ODST. Maybe they're refering to the M6C in Halo 2, or the M6G in Halo 3? (sadly) I don't think most people know the designations for the weapons in the Haloverse, perhaps he was just trying to avoid confusion?

BTW, I love the 'ol handcannon! They never should've changed it in the later games.

The BR in Halo 2 was intended to be a combination of the AR and M6D Pistol of Combat Evolved. I'd still take CE's M6D over the BR any day. It's surprisingly more powerful than the BR, seeing as the M6D took only three shots to kill, whereas the BR requires four.

Use it, love it.

Hmmm... you MUST be crazy to say a thing like that. Let's go head to head, me with a pistol aimed at your head and you with a BR aimed at my head. Let's both shoot 3 times each and see who wins.... The BR doesn't compare with the pistol. Period.

He's never played this game, and is likely pre-pubescent.

Very likely.

The Pistol isn't actually that powerful in the campaign. It takes more time to kill an Elite than a BR does in H2/H3. It's only a viable anti-elite weapon when combined with the PP (which is the true superweapon of the H1 campaign).

While I agree thoroughly that the PP is the weapon in CE, the pistol is pretty heavy duty. It can kill a damaged Wraith. Must not forget that 2 is far more oriented to quick kills. The Bea Arthur can drop Elites faster than the pistol, but, the whole scenario is different.

Bea Arthur.

I lol'd.

I remember getting dirty taking out Banshees with the good ol' M6D.

The M6D can take out anything. I mean, anything.

I'm sure if you put enough rounds in the Truth and Reconciliation, It would go down.

  • 08.22.2009 9:03 PM PDT

Look at it this way:

The M6D can take out a Wraith tank. A Battle Rifle can't even destroy a Ghost. Notice anything odd about that?
