Subject: BR wont be in Halo: Reach

I read a thread where most people wanted the BR to be back; sorry, it won't. The Battle Rifle wasn't invented untill Halo 2, so it can't come back unless it's only in multi-player.

What about the trailer for Halo Wars? They had battle rifles.

Maybe a outdated version?

yes and no. If I remember correctly, in First Strike, one of the spartans was given the Battle Rifle. Remember when they go to the weapons lockers, they find the upgrades for their armour, a new handgun and a rifle with a scope. So I am going to take a leap of faith here, and say that it was the battle rifle. And also First Strike take place on Reach (some of it)

Honestly, I would like it to be in the game. I think it's a good weapon. Or at least a rifle that zooms in like the silenced SMG.

I might have been wrong: http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/BR

There was a Prototype Rifle around the "Contact Harvest" book. When does that take place?

Right Tubbier, they were developing it during the Harvest book timeline, but when Reach became a battle field they had it in production already.

Contact Harvest took place when they encountered he covenant for the first time. Also, just because it was only inroduced doesn't meen that it wouldn't have been in Halo CE if they re-made it.

so stop dreaming AR noob

There were BR prototypes LONG before Halo 1.

Expect allot of weapons that weren't in Halo 1, 2 OR 3.

For example, why wasn't the AutoMag, and the Suppressed SMG in Halo 3? Because Bungie hadn't invented them yet.

Once Bungie comes up with a weapon, it exits in the Halo world, and it always had, but you just never used it before.

^^ Screw off Halo2Jumper. Go jerk it with the MLG Fanboys, that sort of talk is not welcome here.

Battle Rifle was a prototype for 50 Years and was tested by Avery Johnson during the Battle of Harvest I believe.

I actually like the BR, just care more about how canon Halo: Reach will be. Since it has been confirmed to have exsited, I don't care if they bring it back now.

yea, the only talk allowed is bashing the br and saying the halo CE pistol is so much cooler! (even though it's A LOT more powerful and deadly than a br).
