When I heard that ODST would not include the much loved Battle Rifle that has revolutionized combat in Halo 2 & 3, I was a little disappointed. Sure Bungie has given us the new Auto-Mag, (a weapon I cannot wait to test) but is it a suitable replacement for the BR? For instance, the BR offers not only a substancially larger clip size, but the ability to have a single three-round burst to take out multiple enemies. The Carbine has already made its appearance in the few Videos available of the Firefight mode, so why not the BR? All I'm saying is, the BR has become a staple weapon of Halo's arsenal, and It's a shame that ODST is not continuing the tradition.

Did you really have to make another thread about this?

Thanks Bungie. Thanks for taking out the weapon that is the most used and requires a bit of skill other than the sniper.

R.I.P. Halo 2

I enjoy the fact that there will be no BR for two reasons:
1. To hear the BR worshipers whine.
2. It's more like Halo 1.

You've lost me... you want a BR because you won't get any kills other wise, or you don't want a BR because you get pwned by other people who use them against you??

Sounds like a bunch of Justin Bieber wannabes in here. I bet you all wear skinny jeans too.

If you bought a game for one weapon, you wasted your money.

"Anyone can give up it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's the true strength."

The BR is overused and overpowered. It drains the life out of all the other weapons. All you need is about 2 BRs through 1 campaign level to complete it. Really? I'd rather have more freedom in using other weapons.
Consider the Automag a BR remake.

HAhahah Sarcasm is an interesting form of comedy isn't it? (Sarcasm is the opposite of what I say.)

Why is the first response from a br supporter towards and non br supporter always have to do with them sucking at the game or that it's because they get killed by brs alot? It's getting old.
In reality, I can hold my own without a br, cause I learn to use other weapons, look at my service record for proof.

Edit: If you want your share of brs, just use the automag or the carbine, they have the same function.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not partial to one side or the other, I simply was curious about the reaction others would have on the subject. I am a fan of the BR, but I agree with you that the Auto-Mag is a weapon of potential the could possibly become a more versatile ant tactical weapon than the BR ever was. I don't know if the lack of BR's will make the experience less appealing, but I am open to change if it's for the better.

That's good, Halo 3 needs more player like you (No Sarcasm implied)

I'm sorry I didn't catch on to your notion of Sarcasm earlier, Sarcasm is generally assosiated with a tone of voice, something I can't pick up from a typed up message. For the member who picked it up before I did, I salute you, you truly have a gift.

I think that was sarcasm. I think that if the BR was in ODST, it would be too easy to get kills. In Halo 3, it wasn't overpowered because you had to fight Scarabs and such; in ODST, you fight mostly ground units (grunts, jackals, brutes, etc.) and light vehicles, all of which is easy to take out with the BR.

liek omg u guyz...

omg ponies (ok ya it aint that bad imo)

GRRR IM RIGHT UR WRONG AND GHEY LOLOLOL UR GHEY

lova ya internet, never change :D

The fact that people think Halo's sniper and the BR takes any skill still baffles me.

I really don't see how they do...at all. Quake's railgun takes way more skill than the sniper or BR (of course that could be because people in that game don't move at speeds of 1 mph).
