Actually, there weren't BR's in circulation. Those were merely test builds of the gun. The BR didn't start to be circulated among the ranks of Marines until Halo 2.

Keep BUNGLE away from matchmaking, away from these forums, and overall away from this game.

There are so many idiots in this topic. Jesus.
BR makes for unbalanced gameplay? Are you kidding me?

Half the people in this topic who trash the BR have negative KDs or don't have a rank over colonel.

That's not meant to be insulting but it speaks volumes.
Most brigs through generals will always veto for BR starts, will have it as their top TOD, and those skilled with it will have positive KDs.

Meanwhile the opposite group have negative KDs, little or no BR usage, etc.

Lack of skill with a certain weapon does not equal justification for removing it.

Trying to scream unbalanced a reason is ignorant just because that person doesn't know how to play with it.

Doesn't matter if they have bad K/D's, it still ruins the gameplay. Maybe we should have a scoped SMG like in ODST?

You're point? Are you seriously saying a fictional rank has weight in an ACTUAL discussion? Perhaps you were lucky enough not to have 50% of your teammates quite on you during matchmaking? Maybe you happened to play AFK's every game? Lots of conditions that are out of anyone's control go into rankings in Halo. Not to mention your K/D could vary well be a tampered record due to being a second account like 80% of the competitive community who seems to have a phobia of displaying the actual MP history.

They always veto for BR's because their an ineffective at killing without them. BR starts are the fast track to spawn killing.

Generalizations are fun, check my rank and K/D. I hate BR's and their monotonous aftertaste. Yet I'm a Brigadier with a positive K/D and high BR usage (cause the other high rankers force me to use it).

Its not about lacking skill, but about the undeniable dominance the weapon has of the playing field. Anyone who has played shooters before can probably attest to just how annoying it is to play with the same weapons over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over...

Just because you can kill with it doesn't mean its balanced, either.

@Tonoottu - do you have a point or are you just trolling?

Yes excuse me for making a completely ignorant statement because it goes along with a good chunk of other posts in this topic. Which I purposely posted to get people's attention although the majority of what I wrote could be proven fact.

The BR has become the primary weapon in this game IMO and it should never change.

The fact is, MOST people who want the BR out of Reach are not skilled with the weapon and let themselves fall into spawn traps and therefore that's their reasoning to get rid of it. That's not a generalization, it just so happens that 9/10 times it seems when you look at someone's record who complain about a BR, it's always a low rank USUALLY, with a negative KD USUALLY. That's lack of playing skill and adaptability, not the weapon's fault and no justification for removing it.

If I said AR gameplay was unbalanced, I would get picked apart by the group of people who are so sure in their own way how balanced AR gameplay is. It goes full circle.

Doesn't the fact that it can spawn trap so easily make it unbalanced though?

the BR SHOULD STAY AWAY FROM REACH! that weapon domitates halo 3 and to put the BR in reach is stupid anyways coz it will make no sence.

do you realy think bungie will add the BR in just becuase MLg uses it.thats the most stupid thing i have ever heard.MLG doesnt run bungie do they if bungie dont wanna have a BR inthe game then MLG can go suck it.

there will probably be a weapon like the BR id expect the return of the pistol becuase of how much people wen ton about it and how it wasnt in 2 and 3 nd how much everyone loved it in ODST

Rank does not determine skill.

I dont understand anything about why they say the Assault Rifle is noobish, the Assualt rifle has degraded ammo since Halo 1, and all pros with BR's say that noobs use AR, arent they supposed to be so good with BR that they can win over an AR? AR = Good at close/medium range BR = Good at medium/long range. I badly hope that the BR is put aside from a playlist, since the BR and the AR cant be combined. Or just degrade the damage of the whole two weapons a bit more, they are both too easy to kill with. WAY too easy.

Way to go xKillingToolx the BR IS AWESOME


Long live the BR!

  • 09.30.2009 12:17 PM PDT

I hate the BR

hello no br

Non facete nobis calcitrare vestrum perinaeum

The multiplayer is sandbox. Use the most efficient tool to maximise output/death. What matters if it is the AR or the BR? Every kill is legitimate. By the way, ad hominem arguements are fallacies.

Well if you think of it the BR can be in REACH because, the planet REACH did not fall until right before "Halo : Combat Evalved. But befor that Havest fell then in the book "Contact Harvest" Sargent Johnson was using the protype BR so it doesn't make sence to not have the BR in REACH.

  • 09.30.2009 12:23 PM PDT

he was using a PROTOTYPE not the final product.when a funcional prototype is made it is sent for field testing and then it still takes years for an official final product to be given the go ahead so just becuase 1 guy was using a prototype weapon does not mean its gonan be masproduced in a short amount of time. weapons go through years and years of development for the simple fact that the person using its life could depend on it

  • 09.30.2009 12:33 PM PDT

so becuase i dont want the BR in reach it means i have no skill with it??

ill tell u this right now...my top TOD=BR i use it every chance i get and i hate games that arnt BR starts and its becuase of that i dont want the BR in reach.it dominates the game and no weapon should do that.

  • 09.30.2009 12:46 PM PDT

Do you need to eat that NOW?

Personally I dont see how it could be in reach.
In Halo 1 there was no BR so if this is before Halo 1 then I dont think it should be there.

  • 09.30.2009 12:54 PM PDT

Dark PerFectioN clan!!!

yes or no the thing is that its bungies game and they DONT like it. thats why it wasnt in ODST along with dual weilding

  • 09.30.2009 1:05 PM PDT

the BR wasnt issued to spartans until after reach

also MLG used the pistol in Halo:Combat Evolved

that and in reality a Battle Rifle was a light AT weapon (last time i checked)

yes and no it should still be there but no game types withe it like team br its so rpetitive it should be less common on the maps aswell

  • 09.30.2009 1:58 PM PDT
