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

Should people even consider the BR as a selling point for Halo 3: ODST? No. It's a gun.

We get a gun that shoots spikes, a flamethrower, a laser cannon, and firebombs. I'm pretty sure the BR isn't as cool as that.

We have a pistol that siclenced that can cap a Spartans ear end in 3 shots. It's called a 3SK for a reason..then again a good majority of all Halo 3 player never played Halo CE

"Welcome to the Greatest Show Unearthed"

I've been against the BR since Halo 2. Way too overpowered, and extremely cheap. Nah, I miss back when there was just the assault rifle and plasma rifle. Those were the days.

I swear to DRUNK, I'm not GOD!

Seriously... what makes you think there's going to be no BR in Halo 3: ODST?

I obviously haven't been obsessing over Halo in these forums all day like you have. And if you weren't, you probably would have noticed me doing your mom earlier.

its all about balance The pistols kinda takes the BR's role while the AUTO MAG kinda takes the assault rifles role

Here to end the borrowed time you've all been living on.

Not at all since ODST has no multiplayer except Halo 3: Mythic.

Sarcasm is great. (None implied) It is harder to spot in text than voice but I like a challenge. Also about the BR, the battle rifle was a prototype weapon until around the time of Halo 2, also in the campaign of Halo 3, you see one ODST out of 3 or 4 using one. Anyway, it is also fro the benefit of Firefight and campaign. I firefight, it would be too easy to fend them off, without the use of a sniper rifle. In campaighn, it makes you feel surrounded, no Spartan shields, small arms, no help. A town infested with aliens.

Also stop with the BR is the best, you only hate it because you die from it all the time. Or the It's the only weapon you can kill with. It does take more skill to master more than one weapon, but it doesn't mean you can't use it. Although ignore me and the other people like me. Just go ahead and be "Awesome" because you can insult someone over the internet, no seriously go on, I think it makes you look great, cool, and also girls will "Dig" it..... Fighting over the net is in right now, I hear.

Spot the sarcasm, lol.

I thought for the entertainment I would through that in.

  • 08.15.2009 5:13 PM PDT

Oh by the way those jokes about your mom are so in now.

  • 08.15.2009 5:14 PM PDT

It's a rifle not a gun, lol.

Just joking.

  • 08.15.2009 5:16 PM PDT

Well the pistol can easily kill quickly because it can fire much quicker than the BR. The BR was just like a powerful weapon in multiplayer, and in campagin, it's pretty much used for headshots (unless your using it to take down the armor of brutes, which you shouldn't). The pistol will replace that and will be silenced. Maybe the BR can't be silenced, so ODST's wouldn't use it for sneaking around.

- blam - no! i never use BR!


That's why your a Gunnery Sergeant

Lolz! Win!

why are you looking at this?

the auto mag fires faster, has the same ranged scope (though the neural interface), same damage, is a suppressed weapon, is smaller (takes up less space on the screen), and is a new and improved version of the H1 pistol.

Improved? Are you not familiar with the super powered death machine known as the CE pistol?

Sure it might be silenced, and have a higher rate of fire, but it is much weaker than its predecessor.

  • 08.15.2009 5:23 PM PDT

It will for us MLG players. But for the people who hate MLG they dont really care because they still have a good variety of weapons.

  • 08.15.2009 5:43 PM PDT

I am part of a gaming group that is based off of the Elites, and Covenant Army. If you are a fan of Elites, message me. We have a group with good talent as well. We have a ranking system that works,(Do not confuse with stupid clan systems). It is used to show dedicated members.

PS: Don't even bother unless you are 13 or older.

Though I do use the BR a lot....I hate the weapon. It forces a lot of camping because the BR will destroy anybody who is at Medium Range, so people camp to avoid

[Insert Catchy Phrase here]

If you can't play a game just becausea gun is missing your a nub.

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.

  • 08.15.2009 8:57 PM PDT

Hush. If you’re quiet enough, you can hear it on lips of unborn babes.

One word-Automag.

  • 08.15.2009 8:59 PM PDT

or its to loud and for some reason it cant fit a silencer
