respect is the key element to winning

since this is the case will there be a BR in halo reach ? i mean there was no AR in halo 2 so could they add it ? or was the BR not invented at that time

This. And prototype BRs were around in the timeline of Halo CE, so just because the pillar of aututmn didn't have em doesn't mean that the people fighting on the ground didn't either.

All the weapons you see in Halo CE aren't all the weapons. If I go to a military base a find 3 soldiers with weapons, those weapons aren't the only ones the military has.

Do you really care? you can't automatically see my signature anyway.

read the books. if you don't have time to i'll sum it up. the BR was invented before the fall of reach and they did have it. the current theory is that the pillar of autumn didn't have any BR's aboard it at the time it crashed into halo which is why we never saw it in halo 1.

There are no BR's in halo 1 because they were mos likely not with there equipment. But yes, the BR was made before the Fall of Reach so possibly we should have it unless Bungie changes tings around.

They act all big and tough when their on camera with their friends and their guns. But when you break into their house in the middle of the night and stick a gun barrel in their face. They cry like babies and and piss their pants.

Actually, in the book "First Strike" when the surviving Spartan IIs were in the ONI castle base they were BRs. And that was during the battle of reach.

The Battle Rifle was a Prototype, and it remained that way for a total of 50 years (According to HP). It's possible to include the Battle Rifle in Halo Reach.

Didn't they also have Halo 3 pistols?

What I've heard is that when PoA tried to escape, the weapon supply area was destroyed, so they had no BR's to their disposal.

Simple explanation: The Pillar of Autumn did not have BR's in their armory. Also, the members of Spartan Gray Team used battle rifles long before the events of FOR - however, it was probably unknown to any other Spartan/military group, because in first strike it is mentioned that BR's were in the field starting in 2552.

Halo: CE didn't have them for above reason, but I think my explanation in a teensy bit more suitable.
