I dont really care... I use assault rifle way more because you shoot with the assault rife and when you get close enough you melee them!

wheres the "I dont give a -blam!- this game is gonna awesome no matter what weapons are in it!" option?

Beware the smiley face! =D

I wont miss the BR too much for a few reasons.

1. As this is set during Halo 2, it is only fair that the SMG takes an important role.
2. More like Halo CE - Automag FOR THE WIN!
3. Hearing MLG wannabes whine when they realise that now they have to use the assault rifle. Suckers.

I like the BR, but i think time should be called on it now.

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


Where have you been?


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.


You're mature.

Not only was what you said stupid, but the fact that you had to uselessly insult him was even stupider.

It's general knowledge that there is no BR in ODST.

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.


I would like to disagree with your first point saying that the Br is over powered because, if you miss your 4-shot the AR will destroy you(assuming the guy is following you), though it is over used, but can't you say that for every starting weapon? I will say that the Br is not overpowered, but it is the easiest to you use from any from any range (close-long). And yes the automag is like the remake of the Br, but I'd rather refer to it as the replacement because they have quite different defining qualities, though they work in a similar way.

P.S. this is in no way saying your wrong, just putting my opinion on what you had to say on this topic.

[EDIT] Forgot to make it clear that i believe the game is no less appealing to me without the Br. I find the game more fun when you use all weapons, that's why i love fiesta. lol

No.

I hope Reach dosen't have it either.

  • 08.15.2009 10:05 PM PDT

Oh no! People will have to learn to use other weapons! This can't happen, BR must remain king! We will not open our minds!

Because God forbid one of you bR 1337z picks up something other than a Sniper or Battle Rifle.

That's a good point. Reach shouldn't have it actually. Well, if they go through the part with the Spartans moving through the ONI base after the invasion, then yes. But on the battlefield prior to those events it shouldn't make an appearance. Wouldn't be all that surprised if it did though. Bungie seems to like to throw out canon to accommodate either the complete beginners or the MLG-type. What ever happened to the moderate players? You know, the ones that have some skill with BR, but also pick up other weapons? Those are the most ignored players when it comes to Halo...

GRUNT BUD!!!!!

The BR is super -blam!- and kills the game so no. It killed Halo 3 allright and it would kill this so no I hope its not in reach either. back when there was no BR people never complained about a midrange weapon and it made the game more fun knowing I wanst gonna get 4 shoted in the back and then T- bagged by some -blam!- who thinks there MLG

  • 08.15.2009 11:21 PM PDT

Death to rank junkies.

It makes it more appealing.

I don't get why everyone hates the BR so much. If you don't like it, don't use it. I'm not an MLG person, I just like the way the BR fires and handles range (I really don't like automatic weapons, but the burst is better than a single shot IMO.)

Seriously, if the BR pisses you off that much (in single player, mind you, you're still gonna get killed by it in MP), then use a different weapon, there's plenty in Halo for each person to have one (or more) favorites. I don't get why, because you guys prefer A gun, you want person who enjoys B gun to not have that option. I really dislike using the Carbine, but I don't want it removed from the game, why do you guys want the BR gone so bad?

Well, you see, I think this is where the zoom-SMG comes in.
1) If you fire it in short burst, it acts as a BR.
2) You are in a city! Close Quarters! Automatic weapons are more efficient! If you really want to try a long-range hit, then go for it with the pistol. But just tell me- where will you want to get a long-range hit? Short streets and small parks aren't exactly good distance-killing areas.
3)There will still be BRs in Multiplayer. It just Halo 3 Multiplayer, and I'm sure you can probably hunt one down in Firefight.
4) Stop whining about it, the only thing a lack of BR will do is make you move on your toes a bit, instead of camping and picking off enemies in the streets. Which takes more skill: crouching behind a vehicle, only popping your head out to sneak a headshot every 5 minutes; or running around a brute, avoiding the plasma bolts and opening fire to drop him like a sack of bricks?

But, just so I don't get flamed 'bout my arguments, I am a BR fan. It is my favourite weapon to use. My point is though, you can't change what Bungie puts in a game a month before it's release. Just improvise, and move on. Think of it as a revert to the Halo: Combat Evolved, good 'ole fashioned gameplay, without a weapon that can save your ass simply by it's presence in the game. You must adapt, and think about how to take out enemies differently than Halo 3.

Surely the removal of an overused weapon won't detract from the gameplay of Halo 3: ODST, surely it will call for a wider variety of weapon usage therefore forcing players to think up new strategies and not shouting "where's the BR?".

  • 08.16.2009 2:35 AM PDT

1.Arkham Asylum, 2.Mass Effect, 3.Halo CE, 4.Mass Effect 2, 5.Halo 2, 6.Splinter Cell Double Agent, 7.Gears of War 2, 8.Medievil, 9.Oblivion, 10.Crash Team Racing

Yes. An option less is an option less.

I don't understand all this new BR hate either.

"Gaming is having a ridiculously huge TV in a tiny one room apartment. It's staying up until 3 a.m. to win a trophy that isn't real...but is. And though we may pledge fanboy allegiances to different flags, deep down inside, we all serve one master, one king, and his name is gaming! Forever may he reign!"

I like the br but i think this game will be better without it!

  • 08.16.2009 2:57 AM PDT

No, and to those that say yes, it's just one weapon, get a grip. It may be my favorite weapon, but I can do without it. We did it in Halo: CE. At least we get the scoped pistol.

That's exactly what I want to know. My guess is that they get killed by it a lot. Big whoop, it a gun, it's meant to kill you. I get killed by it too, just not as often as I kill with it. ; )

  • 08.16.2009 10:02 AM PDT

who cares, the auto-mag does the job for it. If they'd put in the BR, the balance would be gone.

it appears you have fallen into a sarchasm...
its the gap between someone making a sarcastic comment, and you picking up on that sarcasm...

I am so -blam!- happy there isn't a BR!

So you are mad because you get killed by it. Not a surprise there. I bet if you got killed by the Carbine a lot, you would be mad at that too.
