*sigh*

How about a pistol instead? It would serve the exact same purpose, just like Halo 1. It would satisfy people that like the BR, and it would be easier to do canon-wise. (IE Bungie doesn't have to make up something like "oh they're prototypes" or something)

You could also spawn with it, and a rifle akin to the assault rifle.

IMO, it sounds very balanced.

Group invites will be treated very poorly because the Care Package is empty.

Why not?

It better be different though. It shouldn't show how many rounds you have left in the mag, and it should fire single shots (just like it did in the Halo 2 E3).

okay let me make this simple for you guys.. everyone is giving their opinions on whether the br should stay or go.. its always going to be like this: good people want it to stay while bad kids want it to go.. why dont bad people just get better and we wont have a problem. i hear halo reach multiplayer is supposed to be more intense and competitive... if it's going to be competitive it will need the br or another weapon almost exactly the same.


Why don't good people get worse? Or should they consider getting a life?

Please consider the fact that calling somebody 'bad' merely because they have trouble (or have a seperate opinion) with a weapon is completely idiotic.

Ok this is the main most people dislike the br
because half the majority cannot use the thing
they can't use means they hate and call the wahhbulance to bungie

come on people the br is the only balanced weapon in game
it sticks right in between the sniper and assault rifle
if they take it out goodluck trying to kill snipers and likin the carbine because it's the br but it's 7 not 4

To clarify things about the MLG community
we love the br because it's the only fair, balanced , and competitive weapon ingame. It's speeds up gameplay and doesn't make it cheap

Stop being ignorant and bring the BR back. If anything make a separate playlist or make the playlist asault or br matchmaking like they did in Halo 3... i just find it really funny how people want to cry about how "people or BR whores
" and ect. but the point is if u really wanted to get better u would practice and put dedication to learning how use the BR better and stop complaining bcuz i use to be one of those scrubs that use to hide in the corner waiting for some one to walk by and charge them with a assault riffle and i couldn't rank past a Major and that was months ago now I am a 3 star general owning 50s with ease all because i wanted to better myself more.. all I am saying is practice and master the weapons like everybody else and stop wining about it. We need to worry about online cheater like people that "Host Boots" and "Lag Switch" Who spoils the fun for everybody else! Come on People!!

Halo Reach is a Prequel, that means no BR and it would make sense because Halo 1 had no BR

  • 09.29.2009 9:57 AM PDT

I love the BR. But since it is a prequel, I don't think it should be in REACH! Sorry guys! I would love to see the original pistol though!--from H1. That game took so much more skill than h2 and h3.

  • 09.29.2009 10:08 AM PDT

if they took that out. it would be completly stupid on there halfs

Well, I hate to break it to all of you Die hard BR fans, but...

If you go through the stories and such, the BR was actually introduced about the middle of First Strike, Contrary to that, the prototype BR was in use by Johnson in Harvest.
So, Techniqually... The BR would not be in the game unless it were a prototype or Bungie decides to put it in just for kicks. This could be one of those "Up to Bungie" Things...

But just saying, The BR wont be in Reach, for the Conflicting Story reasons.


Read it again, because the BR was on Reach, and the Spartans there found them but didn't know the name of the weapon. but it was still in a "prototype" stage and was a single shot. so the BR is possible to show up, and (thank god) will be a single shot if it is in game.

If the BR is taken out of the game it will drop Halo's sales instantly. The AR was brought back because some people (noobs) were whining about not having the AR and/or that the BR is too over powered, which it isn't. According to canon the Pillar of Autumn was specially designed for spartan's use on missions, thus having the AR which is normally too large for Marines, and the M6D with explosive rounds. I personally would love the BR to stay. I mean come on a pistol that 3 shot's is even worse than the BR. People complain about the BR because either A: They don't know how to use it, B: Because MLG uses it or C: A and B. I mean GET OVER WITH IT Halo is a COMPETITIVE GAME this isn't frigin Hello Kitty Island Adventure for crying out loud. And btw MLG used the Halo 1 pistol too you know, so it probably wouldn't take out MLG from using Halo. But Halo 3: ODST was originally supposed to be an expansion but it turned out to be a full game. And the original arsenal in that specific game had stealth weapons (Silenced SMG and Magnum)


I stopped reading after the first sentence. It completely discredits the entirety of your post.

lets face it. the BR is the most OVERPOWERED gun in the game and ruins the point of skill. All you have to do it get 4-5 bursts to the head and a kill.

Lead shots, get head shots, strafe...

What about the AR?


Stay out of melee range, pulse fire (which is done for you with the BR), strafe the enemies BR shots if thats what they're using.

  • 09.29.2009 11:10 AM PDT

The Br should not be in reach because it take the teamplay out of halo. It is so easy to destroy a whole team on your own and before your start B****ing about well they ar is unfair too wa wa it should be smg and pistol with symetrical weapons the map actual cover halo needs to devolp its team play more

  • 09.29.2009 11:24 AM PDT

Ummmmmmm?

POW!!!!

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NONO !!!!!!

  • 09.29.2009 11:25 AM PDT

Yep thank you for taking the time to read my profile for no reason and halo 3 was the 2nd shooter i ever played and the first was on the ps2 so im sorry for maybe sucking while i got used to the controls and not being born with something so increadibly needed in life to be able to pwn at a game from when i pick it up thank you. i will now turn my life around and focus on bashing the suck out of matchmaking and stop having fun with my family and friend because nothing is morei mportant then rank and k/d

Didn't the manufacture and use of the BR come out after the timeline in Halo 2? It wouldn't make sense to have it show up in Halo: Reach since it is a prequel. Maybe a BR prototype may be acceptable, but my bets are that they are keeping the Halo 1 pistol for this role.

good gameplay > story.
and there were BRs on reach. not the prototypes ones. they were introduced in first strike, when 117 meets up with the other spartans in the ONI buildings... and they have BRs there.


yeah and since the BR makes for bad gameplay youre wrong
