Subject: Theory on why there are no Battle Rifles in ODST.

Ok Maybe the Battle Rifle uses some kind of special metal and when the Covenant ship went into slip space it created a HUGE Magnetic field which proceeded to suck all the Battle Rifles from every single corner of New Mombasa into Slipspace. Thus all the Battle Rifles are gone.

What do you think?

I've got a better theory. All the Elites grabbed Battle Rifles, shot themselves, then got sucked into the rupture along with the Battle Rifles. Two birds with one stone.

No the Superintendent saw all the battle rifles littering the ground, acknowledged them as garbage, and disposed of them properly.

I LOVE THIS THEORY. This will be my Backup theory. From now on I will post all of my favorite theories in the OP.

Maybe they're not in there because BRs take no skill, and ODSTs don't like skill-less weapons. (kidding!)

Your right..you do need to know more.. This takes place after the covies jumped into slipspace in New Mombasa. Which Happened Half Way Through Halo 2. Where there were most definitley Battle Rifles

Two problems with that. It existed way before Halo 2, along with the SMG, by the way. Seriously, you have to be an idiot to think just because it wasn't included it means it wouldn't exist.

Second, this is near the end of Halo 2.

I was gonna point out the same thing, when I realised that he said before Halo 2, not before Halo 3.

Also, no doubt he knows it existed before that, but its just his theory.

The fight has been complete.... now get the cookies!

While we certainly share your enthusiasm for the return, we here at the Bungie.net community are mostly made up of snarky asses and jerks who will ridicule you for making a thread about something revealed months ago. We regret that your innocent intentions will almost certainly be replied with anger and sarcasm, and politely invite you to don your Flame-suit, because you just did the internet equivalent of jumping up the Construct lifts.

In Amber Clad was just built. How did they just build it now? With all the BR's they found. Problem solved.

But DIPPING STICKS Skyler...

"There are shadows for the shadows of things, as a reflection seen in a mirror of a mirror. We know there are circles within circles and dimensions beyond dimension. Reality is itself a shadow, only an appearance accepted by those whose eyes shun what might lie beyond." -Louis L'Amour-

or maybe bungie wishes to bring back aspects of the pre-BR Halo C.E. golden days.... Which I consider had a much better campaign than the two sequel campaigns.... Semi-automatic FTW!!!!!

Hehe, that's actually prety good. What about Rockets though? Surely they would have been sucked up?
