Subject: There will not be a BR.

You will not see the BR, unless the prototype BR, and the carbine wasn't created until Halo 2.

You are guaranteed to see the AR, Rocket Launcher, Sniper Rifle, Needler and Plasma P/R, Shotgun, and Energy sword.

Sorry, but its true.

This is Before Reach. I see at least two Battle Rifles.

Doesn't really matter. In your own post you stated unless it is a prototype. Does that make it any less a Battle Rifle? If you're going for accuracy, then, this thread should be titled "There will not be a BR-55HB SR.

Beware the smiley face! =D

Is it just me, or is there a flamewar coming?

About me: I am a vicious wolf of a man.

But really am sweet at heart. =)

You see BRs all the time before Reach, like every marine in Halo Wars has one.

The Prototype didn't do as much damage, shot only one bullet, and the Scope was practically useless. I don't think Bungie would put that in one of their games

They hold assault rifles in Halo Wars - the BR is not in Halo Wars at all, except for the original trailer.

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

I don't care unless its unbalanced when in the game.

Nope, there were Brs before Halo 1. All you have to do is look at the cover of Contact Harvest.

Al ready said, they were Prototypes.

I believe this also, but not for the reasons you say.

Personally I think ONE of the reasons they cut out the BR for ODST is to "wean" us off the BR in preparation for Halo Reach, perhaps to get us used to not using it and instead using other alternatives such as the Carbine and pistol (such as what we'll be doing in ODST).

After all, the sudden hit of no BR in a full Halo game would hit hard to fans, so perhaps no BR in ODST is a sign of the future - a future of no BRs.

Personally I hope they make different variations of the BR to give more choice and variety to the multiplayer (experimenting sacrificing range for power, and vice versa), but i still want the BR in the game.

Looking for a Team to join

im sure there will be a br. any millitary type of anything has some sort of rifle. you just can use a fully automatic or long range rifle. there needs to be something for short-mid range with an actual concievable maximum effective range. otherwise Reach would be no better than 007 for N64

Lets say I'm amish, what if I have gone for a majority of my life without seeing a car, does this mean that cars don't exist? No, it simply means that I have not yet come across a car in my life.

If we want to make the BR canon for pre-halo 1 game then the same logic can go for halo 1, just because we didn't see it doesn't mean it didn't exist then.

But all in all, I don't want the BR in halo: Reach, it pretty much eliminates the purpose of picking up other standard weapons.
On a side note I would also like dual wielding to be taken away and weapons like the plasma rifle made to be as effective as the halo 1 one. Why take 2 crappy weapons that would only be used effectively if dual wielded when you can have one good weapon...makes sense to me.

Spartan119 the Red Raven.
"So officer tell me how it feels to be at the wrong end of that barrel?"

CARBINES PLS!

There were BRs before Halo CE. The Pillar of Autumn had only the standard armory because it was in a rush to get off of Reach.
Anyways, if they had the Prototype at the very beginning of the war, than why would they start churning them out 27 years later?

Um... I like Halo? I don't really know what to say. I'm a student at the moment, I hope to become a criminal profiler, and I enjoy pretty much everything as long as it's good.

Prototypes can still kill things, just ask Alex Mercer.

  • 09.14.2009 5:46 PM PDT

Also, just because you didn't encounter them in Halo CE, doesn't mean that they didn't exist.
