Subject: Why the BR should NOT be included in Reach

It completely dominates the game play, and most of the so called "skill" is mainly "achieved" using that stupid weapon.

How can it be called skill if you only use one weapon?

I think the BR should be removed, so that players will actually have to use skill with the rest of the halo arsenal.

BTW, I am "skilled" with the BR, if "skill" means just strafing and jumping, so if anyone says "YOU DON'T LIKE IT CAUZ YOUR A NOOBZ AT IT" it wont be a valid point as why it should be in Reach.

it doese'nt look nextgen , looks good but not nextgen
If by next-gen you mean crappy, dark and colorless, I agree. It doesnt look next-gen at all.

Why Blitzboy289 should use the search function and reply in one of the 50 BR threads instead of making another one?

Why the 50 BR threads support it while this one opposes it.

Not all do, but then again, you didn't use the search function so you wouldn't know.

The search function is the cake. (if you played portal, you would know this)

i guess i see where ur coming from. The br is the primary weapon, but if its removed then what is the new "skill" weapon? i think too many people like the br for bungie to take it out, that is, if its planned to be in the game.

  • 10.10.2009 8:19 PM PDT

every one would just use the carbine, its just as -blam!-. I love the BR but if I pick up a carbine its just as deadly.

That's terrible reasoning. The BR should be kept in HR, it balances out gameplay and makes the battlefield fair and even. Not to mention without it this game would be pretty much unplayable.

These are the same problems I have with the BR now but there is no reason that the BR and other weapons couldn't be rebalanced for Reach. Just because a weapon is included in the game doesn't mean it will have the exact same performance as it does now.

Just look at how much the Needler has changed from Halo 1 to 3.

Do all ODST games contain the halo reach beta? Regardless whether or not it is stated on the game cover?

Thanks,

Bungie hates the BR. I think that's reason enough. They even took it out in ODST. Wouldn't surprise me if they fully take it out in Reach or they end up changing it completely but leaving the skin.

I believe so.

The problem is not the weapon. It is the power, accuracy, RoF, etc.

All they have to do is fix it, for all weapons, so that they can all kill quickly.

Why should they fix all the weapons when only 1 is broken?

The BR takes skill to be good at just like any other weapon, it just gets used alot more, so you get killed by it more.

So you want to use the rocket launcher instead??

Learn to deal with it its the bes weapon in all Halo so why not??
Just cause the ones who use it kill you all the time but you dont get a single kill with it?

Before complaining you should give it a try it is not so easy to use have you tried before? I dont think so

Oh my god! Finally someone else who agrees with me! The BR is way to overpowered, and overused. If it was in Reach, the game would be ruined!

All you need is a well placed grenade :)

Bungie doesnt hate the BR and thats why it wasnt in ODST. Bungie didnt put it in ODST so players could enjoy the sniper pistol(h1 magnum remake) and a scoped SMG with silencer. Do we need to play every weapon that has a scope on it, no. The BR is Bungies masterpiece weapon. if anything they hated the AR thats why it was taken out for HALO2 but fans of the weapon helped bring it back for HALO3

you could also mention how it was only being tested at the time. The BR wasn't introduced into Halo 2 for a explainable reason ((as far as the books go- which WERE made by Bungie, or at least contract harvest was.))

The BR was a prototype weapon ever since Harvest.

The Spartans got a hold of a few of them over in Castle Base (in Reach) meaning that the weapon was ready to be distributed. So as far as canon goes, its possible.

How to spell "space"?

S-P-ACE! SPACE!

I agree from the same standpoint.
I can hold my own with the BR, but think it takes more skill to be able to kill with a variety of weapons, and not a central one.

For example: Say you are a Sergeant (real military, modern day). You have two guys that want to get into your squad. One has experience with the MP5 and nothing else, and the other has the same experience... with a lot more guns. Who do you pick?Yeah the second one.

In short, more weapons = more variety = more fun = NO BR!
