Subject: So what do you think about Bungie taking the BR out of Reach?

as much as i love the br, i cant stand when these kids with no lives perfect it. i personally think it should stay but i like the idea of the single shot rifle. kinda like a carbine but human version. maybe a fully auto pistol? maybe a human melee weapon (*cough* the knife on the reach cover *cough*) maybe a gauss turret? take out the flare and put in smoke grenades? prox mines?

If there isn't a BR in reach, the niche that it held will just be transfered to some other weapon. Otherwise you have snipers as a god weapon because there isn't anything else other than more snipers and perhaps vehicles that can disrupt their deadly work.

Chances are the BR will be back in Reach however so long as there is still duel wielding. Why did Bungie turn the scoped pistol from Halo CE into a battle rifle in the first place? Because it is too tough to balance a dual-wieldable medium ranged weapon, so instead of people raising the questions "I can dual wield smgs and needlers, why not the scoped pistol?" they moved the niche of the scoped pistol to something that obviously could not be dual wielded.

ODST came around, and because the ODST can't dual wield due to his not-spartan strength, Bungie took the oppertunity to put a scoped pistol in to make the fans happy. It was quite possible afterall as they did not need to worry about some hooligan dual wielding them and then blowing through the campaign with ease.

So, as I said before, if there is dual wielding in Halo Reach, theres going to be a BR type weapon. If there is not dual wielding in Reach, it could possibly be a pistol. Buy why take out dual wielding? It added a fun aspect to the game that many enjoyed, and Bungie is all about creating sandbox type games where you can create your own gaming experience with custom games and forge. It would seem stupid for them to take out dual wielding in the climax of the Halo series.

i wouldnt mind it in the multyplayer but seeing you guys talk about it i think that it should be single shot instead of 3 round burst but i do like the 3 round burst i think it would be best if the eliminated auto aim. that would also be fairer for the snier rifle. second i dout youll see the br at all. since this is before halo ce it is also before the br so if it apears in matchmakeing we will be very lucky

I doubt that there will be a BR in the Campaign, just going by the fact that it isn't in CE. So for Campaign, it probably won't be there.

But, Bungie will be shooting themselves in the foot if they take the BR out of Multiplayer. The BR is the weapon of H3MM. As long as Bungie puts in a weapon that, at least, works like the BR, they will be fine. In saying that, a mid-range, balanced weapon, like the CE pistol. I wouldn't play the MP if there wasn't a weapon that is, at least, like the BR.
Just because it wasn't in H1 doesn't mean it won't be in Reach. All of the human equipment was supplied by a single, heavily damaged ship, so its possible that the PoA wasn't outfitted with the BR, or that the Spartans' Weapons Lockers which were destroyed in the battle of Reach held all of the BRs aboard.

Think bioshock, wrapped in ghost in the shell, deep fried in rainbow six vegas, sprinkled with children of men, with maybe a hint of the first matrix, drizzled in awesome sauce, and garnished with win.

the BR sucketh. its just a lame attempt at a human version of a carbine. what i wanna see is an m14/g3 variant like off of COD 4 those guns are shibbytastic

hint hint bungie!
