Subject: Do u want BR back in Reach?

Posted by: CrymzenAssassin
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
Johnson used the prototype 25 years before Reach

BR sux so NO

  • 09.30.2009 2:52 PM PDT

Yes a pistol that keeps its accuracy and power at long ranges is stupid. I know there are halco CE fanboys that remember the good old days when they were good at halo and owned with a pistol....then online play came and they got stomped on by people with actual skill and place the blame on not having a pistol. They should add and ROF on the BR. It makes no sense that a gun is made that only fires 3 shot bursts. Single shot for long range/ 3round burst for medium / Fully auto for close.

Wait reach?

Reach was before halo 1 and that didnt have the BR so no.

Who cares about the whiny MLG? its a game, get over it. Besides carbines were in halo 1 so just use those, there better than BR's anyway.

Wow like you sounded any better what you just typed.

I never saw the BR in CE but of course I never read the books.

But still I dont think the BR should be in reach.

For all u ppl saying NO BR IT SUCKS
Then forget u
50% ppl use the battle rifle or sniper or carbine
50% Use the assualt rifle(noob weapon) rocket launcher spartan laser and other power weapons BESIDES sniper

Seriosly most people r mad becuz tons of people kill them with the Battle Rifle i use it all the time rather than the assualt rifle. Like seriosuly y do u think they call it the ASSUALT RIFLE THIS ISNT A FREAKIN FIGHTING GAME GOSH, STUPID NOOBS USING POWER WEAPONS MOST OF THE TIME(Besides sniper) GOD! Its annoying when u get killed 80% of the time by rockets , lasers, and shotguns, and most of all Assualt rifle! Gosh if u want explosives go to call of duty or burnout or other explosive game Halo is a mixture of assalt rifle and battle rifle ( short rand and long range) God. Not ALL PEOPLE LIKE CLOSE COMBAT GO TO TEKKEN FOR THAT

well for one you just named almost every weapon besides the br and called them noob weapons, and two, learn how to spell.

I believe it will be back because hopefully we will be playing as Spartans again and they use the BR.

  • 10.04.2009 4:58 PM PDT

They should have the br but no scope so its not as a power weapon

  • 10.04.2009 4:58 PM PDT

You realy do not need the BR, the AR and SMG are good enough; but thanks tothe earlier games it is now a part of the halo universe. Can you really get rid of something that is already established in game a big as halo? did the UNSC just decide that they did not need the gun that could help them win,a gun that is superior to the AR? So I think it would make sense to keep the rifle for stories sake.

  • 10.04.2009 7:05 PM PDT

A 1 shot BR would be nice

  • 10.04.2009 7:08 PM PDT

Yes!!!

  • 10.04.2009 7:15 PM PDT

no definitely not

they need to cut it out as it destroys the need for other weapons
(they also need to decrease the snipers close range accuracy, it's not a -blam!- shotgun)

look at my top weapons, BR and sniper rifle... it's not because they are uber pro, it's because every other weapon is useless against it.

plasma rifle - nope
smg - nah
bruteshot - nada
rocket launcher? - nope br beats that too.

halo basically turned into an endless BR fest

i vote yes, but other weapons should be revamped. i mean come on, 500 years later and we have a shotgun that cant hit three feet ahead of it?!?! and for an AR, the AR is helluva inacurate. the f**king thompson drills better groupings than that piece of crap! for pistols, the odst auto mag wins. you squint realy hard at it and it grows a scope. (i know that it just links to your visor cause a scope wont work with that helm)

It needs to be because so many people would be mad if it wasnt, includin me. It is the main weapon in Halo 2 and 3

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 want it in the game.

Give the AR a 2x zoom with a single shot mode and you got it made.

Do it....for the Chief

09/09/09 was my Birthday.
