Subject: I'm kind of tired of hearing this...

Go Rams and Missouri!

"Okay, the BR was around in Halo 2, and this game takes place then, so why is there no BR? They have the Assault Rifle and Spartan Laser, but no BR!"

Just because you don't get your hands on the weapon during a certain time doesn't mean it wasn't around in the storyline. The Spartan Laser has been around since at least 2531 (Halo Wars), and the Battle Rifle was used during the Battle of Harvest. The BR was around during the events of ODST, but it just so happens that they were supplied with M6C Socom instead of the Battle Rifle. The Assault Rifle was around, too, but in Halo 2, Master Chief just never got his hands on one.

And the Brute Plasma Rifle wasn't brought back due to the time period, it was brought back because it was a good weapon and would add more variety to the Brutes' weaponry.

1 they might have been not issued to odsts
2 the fact of bringing back a silenced pistol, with a 2x scope, and its pretty much an insta kill on grunts and other small weakling stuff kinda makes up for the loss of the br.

Hey guess what!? I play CoD more than Halo, but I'm not an annoying fanboy. I love CoD more, but I like how involved the Halo Community is...

What's ur point? Are you whining, complaining or plain ole B!+ching?

And plus the BR is supra loud, so yeah it would give away your position.

I'm -blam!-ing about the people who are -blam!-ing over the BR not being in, specifically in this thread. I'm seeing at least a thread every day asking why the BR is out and the AR is in, or The Laser, or any weapon I'm missing.

dude the laser is in the game. in almost every footage/ gameplay footage of campagin shows there is a splaser

What's the real, gameplay-related reason why Bungie decided to exclude the weapon from H3: ODST?

The new Auto-Mag took its purpose? The BR was just too much of an all-around good powerhouse weapon for Bungie to have the ODST's use in campaign? Made Firefight too easy?

The Laser was put in because it was basically an alternate to the rockets, becoming the anti-vehicle weapon, making the Rockets anti-infantry. The Automag is unbalanced and lots better than the BR, so the BR would be inferior and probably not even used. The AR is back because Bungie realized it is the dominant weapon at close range (the SMG is good at mid and extreme short range, but between those, it's the AR's world). The Brute Plasma Rifle's comeback explanation is in the original post. The Spiker is being brought back because it was a good close-range weapon and is better at a close range than the BPR, but has less range overall.

Does it really matter if the br isn't in the game? I mean if you like it so much go play halo 3 and use it.

no it dosnt matter as earlier stated it has been replaced (somewhat) be the silenced pistol.

if you played halo ce you would know how powerful the pistol really is compared to a br

When I said, "Moron of the year", it was because you did not even read the thread. Your post here shows that even on your third comment, you still haven't read the original post.

  • 08.11.2009 9:35 PM PDT

i was i was stating the reason why the br has been replaced. its cause bungie wanted to bring back the halo pistol.

  • 08.11.2009 9:36 PM PDT

It doesn't play an appropriate role for the ODSTs. You don't hear lions roar when they prey on animals, do you?

I was only wondering about the BR. I already know about the other weapons.

Have you even played ODST to try out the new Auto-Mag? If it's like the Halo CE pistol like people said it is, then even though it is powerful it is unwieldy like only a video game pistol would be. Face it, the BR was too tight for its own good, and for a balanced game like Halo 3 with controlling a character like Master Chief, it became easy to use.

I assume Bungie took it out because it didn't fit the playstyle of ODST in general.

  • 08.11.2009 9:37 PM PDT

in a way it does odsts are special forces and they use an unconventional method of warfare. it says so in the odst field guide

  • 08.11.2009 9:38 PM PDT

yeah shapeshifter pretty much summed it up good job =)

ODSTs were issued battle rifles. They used them in all other Halo games that had it in.
I think Bungie just didn't add it in so there would be less redundancy in the game.

You seem to be implying that I was complaining about the BR not being in ODST. You seem to need a lesson from first grade in order to learn the meaning of quotation marks and how to comprehend a few paragraphs.

  • 08.11.2009 9:40 PM PDT

well they (bungie) had never invented a silenced pistol before. keep in mind the silenced weapons are specially designed for stealth missions ie the rookies role of running around new mombassa QUITLEY. it just goes along with gameplay

  • 08.11.2009 9:41 PM PDT

I am not implying anything. I'm just giving my two cents on why Bungie really decided to remove the BR.

  • 08.11.2009 9:43 PM PDT

shapeshifter-ya i comepletley agree with ya and that other dude is being a *blam*
