Subject: Will the auto mag and the BR be in reach?/Can they fit?

Call me 50

Will they bring back the loved BR back into play and kick the auto mag out? Maybe a new weapon to replace the two? Your thoughts and try to make up a new weapon one and what you think it should be....

MA5K Carbine. Shorter range, fatter clip, about as accurate, fully auto. Yes, please.

At the time the events at Reach are happening the BR is not the standard rifle at the time...Even tho in contact harvest, the book that takes place b4 reach has 2 BRs in it there prototypes...The automag maybe could fit in there but the Halo CE pistol would probably be the one featured because it was standard issue at the time...the MA5B was the standard Rifle at the time if I remember correctly which is also the AR from Halo CE...Of course its bungies game so theyll do whatever they want but the BR wouldnt fit in well tho because it wasnt brought in to commission till a few months after reach

actually the br is found in massive amounts on reach so hopefully but if theres no br in matchmaking and it's all ar/automag's i just won't play it along with the vast majority of somewhat skilled players.

While that may be true they were all PROTOTYPES...Just like when Kelly and Fred found the new Spartan armor...those were the regulations ready to be shipped but kelly cleary reads on the box for the new pistols and Rifles, prototypes

As far as the Auto mag goes i think it should be a CQC weapon with a damage fall of range, but with similar accuracy

I think Bungie should Make every weapon from the halo universe, and have balanced weapon sets on certain maps

for example what about two BRs
the MA5K and the BR55; so depending on the maps size you would find ONE of these weapon types

-MA5K should be like the Halo 3 BR, however with the power toned down a little so it would fit in smaller maps like guardian

-The BR55; i think should be Semi-Auto. that would make it a little more purpose built like a tactical sniper rifle

this way you make the people who want the original semi auto BR and the Three round burst BR

an Example of some weapons sets

-small maps-
sword
Shotgun
SMG-------------spawn weapon
Spiker
needler
Plasma rifle
magnum-----------spawn weapon
MA5K
Carbine

-Medium maps-
Shotgun
Spiker
Plasma rifle
Needler
Magnum-----------------spawn weapon
Assault rifle----------Spawn weapon
Carbine
Battle rifle
Sniper Rifle
Rocket

-Large Maps-
Shotgun
Spiker
Plasma rifle
Needler
Magnum
Assault rifle
Carbine
Battle rifle--------- spawn weapon
Sniper Rifle
Rocket
SpLaser

And many more weapon sets for particular maps with vehicles or small maps where a sniper rifle would be fitting

Spartans aren't standard soldiers.

BTW Elites rule!

And I am probably just trolling you right now....especially if it is a controversial thread

auto mag would own people in matchmaking and not many people like the br so i want something new and beasty

Honestly, for the sake of gameplay, I would not want the BR to return unless it undergoes a serious overhaul to balance it out. The auto-mag is much more in-tune with the available weapon set, as it's a good mid-long range headshot tool, but it is not overly dominant against shielded enemies like a BR can be.

Personally I wouldn't mind an auto-rifle with a zoomed single shot akin to the pistol, but the BR in it's current format needs to stay away.

If the automag is in Reach then they would need to balance it out for multiplayer. As it exists in ODST, its balanced to help a lone wimpy shieldless loser triumph against shielded organized opponent.

Huh? The automag was useless against shielding enemies, you'd be out of ammo in a heart beat if not used strategically in conjunction with grenades or plasma fire of some sort. I'm not sure how that would translate into Reach and it's possible MP.

You are right though, it needs to be balanced into whatever the weapon set is. We don't need another BR on the field.

1.Arkham Asylum, 2.Mass Effect, 3.Halo CE, 4.Mass Effect 2, 5.Halo 2, 6.Splinter Cell Double Agent, 7.Gears of War 2, 8.Medievil, 9.Oblivion, 10.Crash Team Racing

BR could simply be a bit more powerful but rarer.
