You know how hard it would be to do that, Hell I don't even think that is possible. Bungie would have to make a whole new game or something. And I don't think Bungie will do that just to fit your needs...

THE PISTOL IN ODST IS THE SAME AS A BR PEOPLE!!!! SAME WITH HALO COMBAT EVOLVED THE PISTOL IS A BR


There you go. I believe that the BR was made to replace the pistol. They are returning to a Combat Evolved type game so it would make sense to bring back the pistol. The two can't be in the same game together since technically they are the same thing but different skins.

But why complain? The BR will still be in MM, so it isn't really gone. As soon as you step back into matchmaking, the BR will be there. If you don't want to face the BR... play the ODST provided entertainment or hope for a melee match, cause it isn't going away.

i would say no for the br because it was specially made for the spartan. duel wielding though should also stay out of the game because we have a weaker armor with no shields and duel wielding smgs would tear you apart.

Actually, no it wasn't. You should read up on your Halo info. Johnson used the BR prototype before the Spartans were even deployed into service. Even ODSTs can use the BR, I gave an ODST a BR in Halo 3 and watched him kill the Covies.

If you don't know who I am, the feeling is mutual.

Go play the Sierra 117 mission in Halo 3 on Legendary for a little while. Find a Carbine, they'll be plenty of Jackal's to get ammo from. Soon you'll learn the truth: the Carbine can kick the BR's buttstock (Lame gun joke!).

I still pwn people with the Carbine when I have a BR, except yesturday 'cause the guy with it surprised me and by the time I found out where he was it was already too late to fire back and kill him, half or my shields were gone. Besides, people want to complain about the BR, so why not complain about the Carbine too?

I only ever used dual wielding to look cool or for overkill. We don't need the BR. IMO the automag is cooler, and let me pose a question: Did anyone actually find use in having the smg and ar in halo 3? Is there any situation where one was actually better than the other? IMO no. I preferred the smg but it wouldn't have mattered if it wasn't in the game.

No. We are ODST's, we should feel like ODST's. It's a new take on Halo 3, and it will be great and slightly fresh.


This is the Tru7h.

People, get over it. Not having a BR really isn't that big of a deal. Just go with the SMG and AutoMag combo.

  • 08.08.2009 5:47 PM PDT

is the Auotmag pistol not good enough??? So what if there is no BR. We got an awsome pistol instead

  • 08.08.2009 6:10 PM PDT

"I am the Walrus." (:3=)

The BR is cool and all but honestly, it's kind of hogging all the attention so to speak. I mean you kind of become dependant on a mediocre weapon that runs out of ammo really fast. I'm talking about campaign here because in matchmaking it's a great weapon. But campaign wise you always feel like you have to have a BR and therefore you don't get as much ammo for it(cause if you play the game right you normaly don't kill marines), and you don't use a very wide variety of weapons throughout the campaign. And in my opinion, it's gotten kind of old after a few years of constant use and praise by people who feel accomplished by being better than you at a video game.

No for both. Battle Rifle would just make the game way too easy. Besides, it wasn't even fun to use in Halo 3 like it was in Halo 2. It's about time we got a replacement.

  • 08.08.2009 6:39 PM PDT

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

They obviously CHOSE to change those items. These elements were not removed by mistake.

The Carbine is still there. It's better than the BR.
That is a good point but I still do not like having weapons removed from any game.

Heh. To be honest, neither do I. If it were left to me, the campaign of the next Halo game would have every single weapon and vehicle ever created for the Halo universe in it for the fans to use.

  • 08.08.2009 6:43 PM PDT

In high definition baby!

Yes, because ODST are physically capable of weilding a BR, like in Halo 2.

  • 08.08.2009 7:00 PM PDT

O hai

A BR is a mid range weapon. The Carbine, and possibly the new Automag fill that slot. An SMG can't shoot from Top Gold to S2 on Guardian, with or without a scope...

there is no mm in halo odst

Hmm.. By "mm" you mean Multiplayer maps right? ODST has its own, It's called Firefight. Didn't you read any update?

I don't agree with what some people have been saying. The BR was a cool rifle. It served its purpose in Halo: 3.. Twas quite the N00b killer.
ODST is about recon and stealth. Undetected and unsuspected is (and don't quote me on this) the role of the Rookie. The BR will just tear up the decible meter and you'll be spotted, flanked and most likely killed for it.
The SMG and automag is a great replacement, I mean, you saw the ViDoc right?
But my only question is because Halo 3's multiplayer comes on a seperate disc with the game. Would that mean there is more content like ODST's new weapons added to multiplayer? Because I would see no other reason why you would need another disc. The maps were a seperate download right? Anyone know?

Ummmmmmm?

POW!!!!

NO!!!

But there's no sense crying over every mistake.
