There's no proof behind that, especially considering BRs existed back then (Johnson used one at Harvest). However, if they put the Suppressed SMG in, it'd be a good replacement for the AR and BR.

If the Br is in Reach I won't be playing multiplayer that often.

But as for this quote..
No, Br has destroyed the fun of Halo 3 matchmaking.

Space my friend.
Trying to insult me and proving me wrong won't do anything.

Right... Because you know 100% that the BR will have minimal appearance in Reach...

Well, if bungie continues on its path to remake the things that made Halo CE, then yes, the BR, along with much of Halo 2 weaponry will probably disappear, sadly.

Still, I can't really figure out why they would remove the BR in ODST, yet keep the AR, I mean cmon, for a game based on stealth, why would you even bother to carry a AR around, let alone use it in any situation, besides blasting away grunts.

The Br doesn't have a suppressor. So there would be no difference..so..AR is alright to have in ODST.

Well, if the assualt rifle does have some sort of silencer to keep it from being a incredibly loud weapon, then I take back my comment on the AR in my previous post.

Well I don't really know if it does or not.
But I REALLY know the Br doesn't have one, it doesn't suit it.

In the days of old, there were legends of a land long lost to time. This land was known as Ranna'Mor. Ranna'Mor was said to contain in its borders 7 warriors. These warriors had once unleashed a veritable hell upon the ancient world, until they were locked away. My name is Toriad, and I am one of those warriors. Our return is approaching. Do not run away, do not cower in fear; take solace in your final days, for that is all we can do. -Legend of Ranna'Mor

No, it's not. Since its appearance in Halo 2, it has been a major part of Halo. I'm not the best with it, and often get kill by it, but the removal of the BR at this point would take away from Halo, especially from Multiplayer.

  • 08.19.2009 1:03 PM PDT

How do you know how much it will show up in reach?

Yes there is no proof...

Burst weapons are extremely difficulty to be balanced in a video game. Look at the M16 in CoD4, and the BR in Halo 2/3.

The only weapon I can conceive being a burst weapon would be the spiker.


If the the BR is in Halo: Reach, it should be more like the carbine.

Or it could make players actually resort to picking up other weapons. Seriously, the BR is extremely close to being a Game Breaker because there's no reason to use any other weapon at all. It works in nearly every single situation.

you just suck with the br,thats why your happy so people wont -blam!- you with the br

  • 08.19.2009 2:11 PM PDT

People are making the poor assumption that because Bungie brought back the scoped pistol because it fit the gameplay (the ODST can't dual wield so theres no need to balance the fact that you have a medium ranged weapon that can be dual wielded to make it even more deadly.) Thats the big reason why the pistol became the BR in Halo 2. If we play as spartans, there will be dual wielding, and again there will be a BR or BR-like weapon.
