Subject: isnt it great how bungie are sort of abandoning the BR

The BR role will always be in Halo in some form or another. I imagine a new variant of the BR will appear in Halo Reach.

Two things.

1. if you don't like the BR, then don't use it.

2. Probably the only reason you hate the BR is because you cant use it and you die allot from it. If the weapon was as bad as people make it up to be, then MLG would not use it as their weapon of choice.

No it isn't BR is amazing it makes halo fun

*Cough*Fanboy*Cough*

The BR actually made Halo suck, it encourages camping. It's possible one of the most overpowered weapon in Halo's history. Don't even think about claiming the M6D was overpowered, it didn't have a playlist (or two) with it as the focal point, did it? I'm glad that there's no BR in ODST, but the OP is probably just a noob.

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.
Opinion, but mostly fact. Not by my view, but by many.

Mostly fact? So lots of people sharing the same opinion about something makes it a fact? I wasn't aware that's how the world worked.

Anyways OP, like people have said, no where has Bungie said that the BR will have a limited appearance in Reach. They aren't abandoning the weapon because it's not in ODST, they're merely following the ODST canon.

tbf with you all, I can't see what all the fuss is about. I mean the people who love the BR just say those who don't enoy the weapon so much can't use it and get destroyed by it. And those who don't love the BR complain it's overpowered and that everbody who uses it think they're great and MLG and stuff. I myself would prefer to see a bit more variety in matchmaking than everybody just BRing each other because I like the other weapons too, but I also appreciate the BR is a good weapon and can be fun to use. I find SWAT fun and challenging. so wtf. just get off each others throats.

You know you somewhat social based 30 or under leveled players have the big problem that you can't except the opinions of people that don't enjoy the game the way you want to.
I for one wouldn't play halo:ce, 2 or 3 without the br/pistol, simply because I prefer it over the ar/smg as a starting and allround weapon. And many others do so.
So you don't like the br, same as a certain part of the community, but another part loves the br.
I don't ask for the ar to be taken out, even though I think it's just a horrible weapon to spawn with, because I know that you guys would hate halo mp with br starts only.

in reach it will have a very limited appearance if at all


proof.


you have none. :/ so stop trying to be cool.


Wow calm down. The BR was first used by SPARTANs on Reach when it was discovered while infiltrating and exfiltrating CASTLE Base, which colud be technically considered after the battle for Reach. It doesn't see much use in the novel. Hopefully Bungie will make the Campaign canon and have the BR appear when it canonically should.

I'm sorry but what's wrong with being a fan of Bungie and Halo? If you dislike them you should go troll on some other site.

I like mine with lettuce AND tomatoes

well in halo reach the BR wasnt invented yet it was invented at the time of halo 2 and ODST i cant explain they should put it in

  • 08.20.2009 10:36 AM PDT

I think an intersting concept, which would be extremely hard to do, would be to have a few playlists where the BR exists such as MLG, Team Slayer, Doubles and pretty much any ranked playlist that requires skill and teamwork to rank up good. Then in games where the BR is not needed, don't include it. But then in Custom Games and Forge(provided they include it) allow it to be a placeable weapon all the time.

Re-live Marathon:Durandal. Get it today for 800 Microsoft points on the marketplace.

i never liked the Br that much. Ive always been a fan of machine-gun fire instead of 1 shot (or 3 quick ones) rifles. It always seems like everyones obsessing over Br's.

Id be glad if it was removed.

If the BR wouldn't appear when it did in the garbage nylund wrote this wouldn't make halo:reach uncannon, it would make the fall of reach uncannon, and since everything nylund wrote is based on that, everything that nylund wrote would be uncannon, which would be a thing that I like.
And if you guys haven't noticed every halo had thise allround midrange weapon for better players, so bungie wants it that way, and seeing how much the br has been tweaked in halo 3, I think the H3 BR is how bungie wanted the h:ce pistol and the h2 br to be, and how the mid range weapon, br or not, will be in halo: reach.
You guys can't have a game created for bad players with people running around the map with cqb weapons and meleeing each other, you are not the only part of the community. Their are people that like to work in a team and have things that require more skill. You guys need to start accepting that, even though you bad players or the people that play the game only for a month or so and are bad as well might be a somewhat big part of the community, but their are others that like halo the way it is. Bungie obviously likes the idea of a midrange weapon. And I really do hope they realized that a ar/smg is not the best weapon to spawn with, team brs in both halo 2 and 3 has proved this.
So you guys still have stuff like social where you can veto brs if it even comes up and have your variety ar fun.
