Subject: Why the BR should NOT be included in Reach

The BR is a needed weapon, it is a good all-rounder that does not dominate any range. The Carbine is better than it for instance at mid in the hands of a skilled player, the Sniper better at long, shotty at close range. The reason why there are so many anti-BR feelings is that we always use it, its a starting weapon that can do something in any setting.

If you remove the BR then the Sniper takes over. Everything has a knock on effect. This is why I think the Halo games are mostly very balanced, they actually care how the weapons stack up against each other.

Perhaps the BR needs a tweak, I personally think its fine, but if Bungie feel the same way as you then all they need to do is keep the BR out of multiplayer and have it Campaign only.

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

What you said, best weapon. Therefore, a game killer. In an FPS, there should be NO "Best Weapon", in favor of fun, variety, and balance. That's why CoD is so popular - everyone picks the weapon they think is good, with no overall winner of "Best weapon".

Check my thread. I've posted a couple of solutions that don't end in removing the BR from the game.

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


Pwned.


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

THE CAKE IS NOT A LIE!

I haven't played Portal, but I know the phrase.

Back on topic, why are so many other FPS games so good? They have variety, not one central weapon with the ability to be useful at any range (Slaughters at all ranges). The BR, the anti-fun gun should not return (For MP, at least).

It's in Reach, trust me.

There is leaked footage (actual footage, not a fake) that proves there is a BR. I'm not going to link it and no amount of PMing me will make me give you the link. It's against the rules and I don't feel like being permabanned.

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.



Dude im sorry but ur just made when u get owned by it


1st of all it takes 4 shots to kill with in the head ( takes skill)
2nd of all we still have the carbine
3rd Like really?? The AR cant shoot far or mid range only up close which isnt much fun or hard to do or takes skill at all, sniper is mainly far and sometimes mid range.
4th Br is Up close , Mid Range , Long range it is a AWESOME combination of AR and sniper,=
5th I NEED SOMETHIN THAT TAKES SKILL

So please dont complain about the Br because i pretty sure 90% of halo players would not and im PRETTY sure on this would not buy Reach because... I cant shoot mid range always have to go up to the person when they most likely nade u and ur dead and i dont want to waste my sniper bullets because hes upclose or mid range cuz i no i probably miss. Dont waste ur anger on the Br kid the Br is the best combination weapon.

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

I want it changed. Not removed.

bungie could easily just say something like "the BR wasnt invented until the year 2552."

well technically the BR wasnt used in halo 1 so obviously it wasnt invented yet.

The BR has actually been around for a while in the Halo universe. On the cover of Contact Harvest and The Cole Protocol (Halo books), there's a BR

No BR

We need more weapons to be good with besides just 1

  • 10.11.2009 10:41 AM PDT

i hate this kind of topic, once you get rid of something you will all just complain about another weapon just lets see, if the BR goes out but they will make a new weapon which will somehow appear in there which is better in some aspects, then you guys will be like AW IT R AWESOMEZ. rant over

BR right now is overpowered. It just needs to be adjusted along with other weapons so its not overused in pretty much any scenario.
