I tolerated listening to that damned BR sound for almost 8 years now. I don't plan on listening to it again as long as Halo Reach lives.

NO.

MLG does love this weapon. Im sure Bungie doesnt want to alienate them. I mean, they have their own playlist. Bungie can get away with it in ODST because it doesnt affect the multiplayer, but Reach is definately gonna need it.

MLG HATES this weapon. Yah, they use it as the starting weapon - because it's the only non power, medium ranged weapon and you can't start with carbines. If Bungie made any weapon with the same range and some consistency, MLG would drop the BR instantly.

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

But really am sweet at heart. =)

NOOOOOOO

Halo CE and ODST functioned without a BR just fine, I don't care HOW unrealistic it is that a pistol is more accurate than an assault rifle.

no BRs!

It leads to dull gameplay, and any mid ranged weapon will be overpowered anyway, it can out kill cqc weapons, AND snipers.

MLG has just been a thorn in Bungie's side. They constantly whine about maps and gametypes, they whined for over 2 years about making a remake of Midship, and now they are whining that the platform doesn't tip.

They whined about wanting a small symetrical map, bungie made Assembly, and now everyone hates that for some reason.

Let them keep playing Halo 3 then. In Reach I'd rather have an Automag

Ignorance is BLISS

Oh hells yeah, it made no sense to me to put the carbine in ODST but not the battle rifle.

  • 10.09.2009 5:47 PM PDT

I say if they keep the BRs, keep it for multiplayer. Take off the headshot bonus or make it take more shots, and give maps more close range areas. In a majority of the maps you have no other option to see action other than in mid to long range areas unless you camp a popular weapon or power-up spawn.

In most the games I've played, besides the people who camp (which is perfectly acceptable in a lot of cases, like the snipers) they all are running around with a BR.

Get rid of aim-assist, or give us an option to turn it off, and let's see how the snipers and BR's do :D

RIP Halo 2: November 9, 2004-May 10, 2010
I was the 2nd to last person to get kicked off Halo 2, see the thread Here

Yes, unless it is replaced by an equal weapon(AKA Pistola), or Bungie balances out weapons to make a BR less necessary.

get in my way....you die !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssss meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee want br!

  • 10.09.2009 10:00 PM PDT

While I like the BR because I'm used to it - I feel most of the other weapons are just a waste of space because of the BR's versatility. I want a Halo game where each weapon has its pros and cons and no weapon is OP.

  • 10.09.2009 11:02 PM PDT

without a doubt and weapon unbalancement?? the br is the most versitile balanced weapon in the game the kids who hate it hate it cuz they cant use it it can help takeout a sniper,put some shots in an enemy a buddys fighting and so much more if they were to take out the br theyd see a lot of ppl quitting halo reach almost instantly and mlg would NEVER use the carbine as a starting weapon its not a good gun heck the ar is better then the carbine and if everyone hates the carbine so much why is it the most used wepon?? seriously think outside of just your selves and how mad you get when u die from a br and think about this from a game standpoint the br MUST stay for reach to succed

wow a true halo player?? no br's means no swat and no way to take out the sniper on the other team seriously just think about this for two seconds out of the other 1000000 weapons in the game (way to many guys a lot of them are useless) none of them can take out a sniper as well as the br besides another sniper the br is something that kills with out the same bull crap of runnn shoot melle and were not whining about the midship not tiping we dont care the maps fine the way it is also halo would loose a lot of money if it were to cut out MLG such as game notice a lot of the MLG players are dedicated to the game they practice and get better say they had nothing to practice for bungie looses about at least 1.5 million players out of the 3.5 million signed up on mlg's website sooo thats a lot of money for bungie to not get there not stupid theres gonna be a br in the game deal with it

  • 10.09.2009 11:56 PM PDT

wow i cant believe this is even close... i have never once heard someone say veto for AR's, unless they were joking.

"YOUR DESTRUCTION IS THE WILL OF THE GODS, AND WE ARE THEIR INSTRUMENT."

Do I want it? No.
Why?
Canon.
It's not that great of a weapon.
Canon.
To me, taking it out of ODST also had some hidden message, preparing us to have no BR in the next Halo game.
If it is in the game, it'll suck anyways. We all hope they introduce weapons such as the MA5k, MA2B, Lotus Anti-Tank mines, etc.

The big quote above me is true. The Beam Rifle is effective at taking out Snipers.

Clearly because the desktop uses a 3 prong plug and a laptop uses a 2 prong plug, the microwave will fill your car with tostitos better

Do you mean the BR in its current incarnation, or the concept of a mid range, versatile weapon that exists at the center of Halo's circular weapon tree?

No to the first part of my post, yes to the second.
