any ideas?

i heard... that its shishkas skull... bungie x-rayed his head and put that in as the oddball, they did so that they can put shishka in every oddball match to keep an eye on us to make sure we dont cheat remember this next time you go into oddball... shishkas watching...


PURE WIN!

i cant believe more people have voted yes than no, that gun makes multiplayer so boring and predictable the battle rifle is without a shadow of a doubt the worst thing to happen to the halo series, ever.

it should not be in the game there shouldnt even be any weapon like it at all i would rather use the AR any day but unfortunatley u have to use the BR otherwise most of the time you get owned, somone said about people love BR fights? like hell whats that i said above? yea boring and predictable.

oh and if MLG dosnt like it then it can kiss my a$$ bungie shouldnt have to cater for their exact needs they'll just hav to use another not so presicion weapon

I don't understand why people keep asking other people if they are a sugary substance used to spread on bagels and toast.

I want my BR in Reach, I don't care if you flame me about it. It is a balance weapon that takes skill and that is that. If your going to flame me about it go ahead it makes no difference to me that you will take a game that seriously.

Lets be honest here people, without the Battle Rifle Halo 3 matchmaking quickly becomes dull and predictable. There's no talent involved in taking an Assault Rifle holding down your trigger and running straight at your opponent ready for the beatdown. Most kids who start playing Halo play that way and anyone who pursues Halo quickly gets onto the Battle Rifle because they know that an accurate Battle Rifle is devastating. Thats a sign of progression, any multiplayer game needs an avenue for that players can pursue, a weapon that players can work on to improve their play - most other weapons (sniper aside) take little skill and a dependance on a good connection (AR, Shotgun, Mauler, Sword, SMG even the Rockets) Without the Battle Rifle we'd be running at each other hoping the person we're shooting at isn't host otherwise it'd take 2 clips to take him down. Not to mention without the Battle Rifle the Sniper instantly becomes overpowered. Halo Reach needs a Battle Rifle or a gun that mimics its function to ensure players have the ability to further their skills and by the looks of the single Halo Reach image we have, we're getting one. The Spartan is clearly holding some kind of Battle Rifle.

Heres whats wrong with your logic. Theres more weapons than just the AR. The sniper isn't the easiest thing in the world to aim and that makes it so teamworks is neccesary.And your saying that everybody HAS to get better and when they do they HAVE to use the BR. You make no sense at all.

PS: 4 shotting with the BR takes no more skill than running up for a beatdown.

  • 10.22.2009 5:14 PM PDT

I want a single shot BR that has the same bullet power.

I agree; I just want the Rest of the weapons to be more than bludgeoning tools.

Sorry chief, but I highly doubt Gamebattles will even regard your statements... they don't care.

Boring and predictable... how so? A Battle Rifle is only effective approximately 10-100 meters away. Any closer... or farther, and you're better off without. That's what I call exiting and... well... unpredictable. Someone pops out from behind a corner with an AR and you're done for.

The BR takes a certain amount of skill to master. A 4 shot is definitely more difficult than spraying and praying with weapons like the AR.

But, like I have said 2 times before in this forum... the BR is an anti-sniper weapon. Nothing more, nothing less. Overuse is evident... by you, and by myself.

Halo needs an anti-sniper weapon. Weather it be the Auto-mag seen in ODST, the BR and Carbine seen in Halo 2 and 3, or the good 'ol pistol in Halo CE.

Furry At Heart,

Supreme mastery therefore, is not to be victorious in all your battles; supreme excellence is to be victorious without fighting.

"Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies. "

I'd like to see the semi-auto version like in the Halo 2 E3 demo.

Otherwise no. All I ever get from it is trash-talk.

(If my points have sprung up earlier in the thread, my apologies I only read the first page.)
Firstly the BR was designed to stop snipers reigning supreme, not to reign supreme itself. This gives me the idea that it should be a specialized weapon, not a bloody common gun that is OK-Good at everything. Secondly there is no suck thing as a 'competitive' game, only a competitive fan base. ALL GAMES ARE RECREATIONAL, so no HALO IS A COMMPETITIVE GAME TEH BATTLE RIFLE IZ NEEDEDS. The Halo: CE Pistol was a step in the right direction, the BR wasn't, and personally I reckon the ODST pistol was spot on, accurate enough to disrupt snipers, but not strong enough to reign supreme.

Bang. You just hit the nail on the head.

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.”

Automag + more specialized BR = win.

Does anyone else notice how popular all the BR threads are?

I would like it if it was in the game but i dont care much. i probably wont even by the game.

  • 10.24.2009 1:29 PM PDT

1.Arkham Asylum, 2.Mass Effect, 3.Halo CE, 4.Mass Effect 2, 5.Halo 2, 6.Splinter Cell Double Agent, 7.Gears of War 2, 8.Medievil, 9.Oblivion, 10.Crash Team Racing

Yes.

Add something like Automag as default. Make BR ubergood like in Halo2, but very rare in campaign and only as Forge/Power weapon in normal Halo3 multiplayer.

People who don't want it don't have to use it, people won't get it too easily so they can't say it makes game easy but they can't help picking it up and the people who love it can use it.

Carbine could be as bad as a BR but no one ever sees it.

no, please no, unless they depower it I really really dont want it back, its incredibly cheap and people on live abuse it by camping on hills with it and its just annoying

My honor student can beat up your honor student.

I'd rather not see it as it is now in Halo Reach. It is way overused by everybody, including me. I'm pretty sick of it.
If it became less of a close-medium range weapon and more of a anti-sniper weapon and/or became slightly harder to land headshots with, I'd be happy.

  • 10.24.2009 2:34 PM PDT

*Sips tea*

Please Bungie...Just take it out. I'm sick of it.
