Ok so I'm probably gunna get flamed for this one but I just wanted to point something out, but let me say this first.

I'm not one of those kids that whines because he gets killed by the BR all the time.
in fact, I do find it fun to 4 SHOT people all day. I will play Halo until they stop making the games, BR or no BR.

ANYWAYS... here is my point. we have all seen the Halo Reach banner with the 5 Spartans posing at the bottom of the planet. I want you to take a look at all the weapons they carry. you will not see a BR.

from left to right. 1. Big Machine Gun 2. SMG 3. Assault Rifle 4. Knife 5. Sniper. (Just wondering why a None of them are using the Spatans MAIN weapon... THIS IS JUST A THEORY)

and to add to the mix BUNGIE has made it pretty clear that most of them think the BR is a mistake because it "makes for dull multiplayer."

If bungie took it out of ODST because "THEY DIDN'T LIKE IT", they are probably gunna take it out of REACH.

so if you disagree with me, that's fine. But when the DEVS start saying "WE CUT THE BR from ODST because WE DON'T LIKE IT!" should be a major indicator that they have no problem removing it from future games.

I like the BR but I would gladly welcome a change up that makes everyone THINK for once, instead of fall back you the BR for EVERYTHING.... But Lord! leading People is sooooo fun!

lets hear it!

I honestly don't care. I do veto for BR starts because AR starts are monotonous, but they do prevent many of the game's weapons from being used. The game isn't fun when everyone is BRing each other, but same for any other weapon as well.

PLEASE DO NOT SEND ME GROUP INVITATIONS

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

So let me get this right... because the BR isn't in the banner... it's not in the game? Guess there's no Rockets, Shotguns, SMGs, marines, Elites, Brutes, Grunts in this game either.

I think I could agree with you there. everyone could run around with ARs if they started with them. But from what i've seen most people change up what they carry when it's not a BR game type.

No, that's not what I was saying. everyone says that the BR is the spartans main weapon... if that's the case. why are none of them using one.

I'm not a hater. just a theory. calm down there sparky lol!

K-Gee

They might just be following cannon. the spartans didn't have BRs on reach in the literature. Also, as someone else pointed out, there are no BRs in ODST... though I am surprised with that revelation that they let the covenant carbine remain.

The MA5B was the majority of the spartans "Main" weapon. The only spartan who even really has a "main" weapon, is Linda.

The spartans used BR's at the bottom of Castle Base, which was on Reach.

*Sips tea*

Them taking it out of the Halo 3 sandbox made ODST much better.

Same for Reach.

My first xbox live gamertag was Gangsta Tic but now I am Sir Tic after I lost the information with that account. I wish I could change my name to Sir Tic here.

Halo: CE & Halo 2 for both the xbox and PC. :)

Bungie's greatest mistake was bring back the AR a gun in Halo: CE that no one used and sucked. They need a good mid-range weapon and unless they plan on only using the Carbine. I expect the BR to be in the game or maybe a scoped pistol.

MA5C AR - Failure. Not only does it have a smaller clip, it sounds like an SMG, and it's weaker than an MA5B ( Which used AP or Shredder rounds)

They should bring back the MA5B, Bring back the M6D, And make the Prototype BR a Customgame/Campaign exclusive weapon.

  • 10.01.2009 10:04 AM PDT

It is not confirmed weather its in or not.

  • 10.01.2009 10:41 AM PDT

FIrst of all, what makes you think bungie took out the BR?

And second of all don't you people care about anything else besides multiplayer? I love the battle rifle. It's a fun weapon to use. I'm not some elitist -blam!- that jerks off to mlg either. It's just a very satisfying weapon to get kills with whether it be campaign or multiplayer.

  • 10.01.2009 11:31 AM PDT

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

Where did you get that screenshot on Halsey?

Anyway, I would like to see it replaced with a weapon that does far less shield damage, but maintains the headshot potential once the shield is down. Like the M6C.

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 hoping for some sort of uber prototype BR that onlys fires in single shot.

  • 10.01.2009 11:36 AM PDT

I doubt the BR will be in reach but a single shot BR could be interesting.

If they made the Assault Rifle have 60 rounds and do more damage, there would be no need for the BR.

I forgot about that, because I just went back and played some Halo: CE for the PC and the AR clip was huge!!! I just say it was bad because a lot of people liked the pistol over the AR in Halo: CE

  • 10.06.2009 8:16 AM PDT

were it so easy

if they bring back the pistol then people are going to complain about everyone just going around pistoling eachother. the BR is too over powered in this game it kills you in 4 shots and makes a flash on your screen. but then if they dont have it then snipers will dominate. i think either way people will complain pistol or BR. people played with halo CE on the computer and the campaign and on the console but if the mechanics are like halo 3 (the auto aim) then the pistol will be just as bad.

  • 10.06.2009 8:32 AM PDT

BYAHH

I like the ODST pistol as a replacement for the BR. It sucks on shields, is scoped, and kills on headshot without shield.

The only hard part would be to find out how effective it would be on a spartan shield for multiplayer.

Cmon the Br ruins old school halo style games.

Because now its impossible to snipe because a BR will hit you and make you come out of the sniper scope so making it harder to do sniping.

No... the AR is actually the Spartan's main weapon.

But anyways, I'd be happy if they offered the Halo 1 AR power and range, only with Halo 3's clip and maybe a bit less power. BR can go if they find something better to replace it with (or maybe include ODST SSMG... :D)

  • 10.06.2009 9:08 AM PDT

Vancouver BC, Canada.

Any Halo game without a BR is pure genius.
