Since Halo CE the Halo storie has improved with weapons and characters.
Weapons: BR's, Brute Shots, Carbine, Spiker and more...
Characters: Brute's, Flood, Engineers...

In all the Halo games something new is added, but Bungie has to be carefull.

In ODST, Bungie shows gamers what has happend between Halo 2 and Halo 3.
If you ask me they did a good job on that, But there where a few things missing.
Like the Battle Rifle.

In Halo 2 you had a BR, in Halo 3 you had a BR, and considdering ODST plays between the 2, Bungie should have put it in.

Halo: Reach is coming up, and because Halo 3 and Halo: OSDT where kind of a Let-Down i'm worried that Reach isn't gonna be what the players think it's gonna be.

So I'm asking the player what they want Reach to look like...
What kind of weapons there should be put in and what characters.

I personally think, that because of Halo Reach is gonna be the start of the War and it plays before Halo Wars and Halo 1, there shouldn't be a BR in the Campaign.
Nor Carbine's, Brute Shot's or any weapons there was since Halo 2... Why? Cause it simply doesn't fit in then.

Bungie should look of what all the games had to offer.
Halo 1 - Small amount of weapons and a simply storie.
Halo 2 - New weapons, new characters, a good sequall.
Halo 3 - New weapons, olso a good sequall.
Halo Wars - A Fleet of Covanant attacking Harvest, A Fleet of Spartans, Almost only the use of Halo 1 Weapons and Vehicle's.
Halo 3 ODST - Same weapons/vehicle's as Halo 2 and 3.

In Reach, Bungie should pay attention at Halo 1 and Halo Wars.
Look which weapons there where, what Vehicle's there where.
making it a perfect game.

But I can't show bungie all the points they have to pay attention to.
So players, please put in this forum what you think there should or shouldn't be in Halo Reach.

Please reply thoughts of what you think that Halo:Reach should look like.

I'm someone you knew, maybe even were friends with.....but from another time...another place.

The Mayans were the most epic trolls EVAR.

Here's a way for Bungie to put in the BR if they want. In Contact Harvest, there was a prototype. this being before reach.
maybe there could be another prototype? idk.

Nihilism (from the Latin nihil, nothing) is a philosophical position that argues that existence is without objective meaning, purpose, or intrinsic value.

Put simply in the words of Nietzsche as "the will to nothingness".

I'm sure the devs know what they're doing, I don't mind if there is no BR just as long as there's a good replacement.

There are ways of having weapons in Halo: Reach that did not appear until the events of Halo 3 without it appearing to be an anachronism. For example, the spartan laser will likely appear in Reach (and I hope it does), and this could be explained simply by the supposition that the contingent of humans in Halo: CE (one ship- The Pillar of Autumn) were not equipped with that particular weapon at the time. It could still have existed, but they simply didn't have any with them! Similarly, the covenant fleet involved (commanded by the Arbiter) may not have been equipped with carbines, but others could have been.
Don't worry about this kind of thing, it wouldn't mess up the story at all anyway!

-Likes Secrets and stuff

-Is pissed because his nick's first letter is not capitalized

Ummmmm...So you say there should be no Carbines, Brute shots or even BRs in Reach, because they don't fit in it? But they should take the ones that were in Halo Wars?
Then tell me this: How is that possible? If you would have played Halo Wars, you should know that all the weapons that were in Halo 3 were also in HW: Splaser, Carbine, Brute shot, even BR was on it. Contradiction?
They should have all the weapons and vehicles from Halo 3 and HW perhaps, but also maybe some completely new weapons. Reminding that Reach was a military planet, so it could have possibly held some prototype weapons never seen before.

And you know, there is already a post about giving ideas for Reach, and it's called Halo: Reach Wishlist. Go there.

The br has been there but it just havent been in arsenal that time, so let bungie do whatever fell like

In Halo: First Strike. Dr. Hasley tells Fred and Will to go get some supplies. What they got were some battle rifles and new mags, new upgrades for armour. I think they should have the Br in Reach

The Battle Rifle wasn't removed for canon purposes, it was removed because the guy in charge of weapons didn't like it.
