should there be a BR in Reach?

  • 10.15.2009 3:19 PM PDT

Canon says no I think.

What I last read in a similar topic said that the BR wasnt even developed when Reach fell.

The writer got that from the book.

Also I hate the gun it's the only weapon mainly used in the game because it can take on anything and win it ruins the game imo.

If the BR (or a similar weapon), isn't in Reach, I'm not buying it. Bungie isn't stupid enough to remove it.

Wrong.

If the BR as it is now in Halo 3 is brought back the game will turn very boring very fast. Anything that is capeable of killing anyone from a long distance sniper to a near point-blank shot-gunner is not realistic which is what the BR falls under, unrealistic.

Also like my above post in canon the BR dosn't exist.

Life is a journey, if you spend all of it with your nose in your map, you may miss some of the best parts.

No, maybe a weapon that's somewhat similar. Like some type of the Halo CE pistol.

Wow, I'm out of energy. How do you do it?

The br wasnt around during the fall of reach, Master Chief and his squad, (Linda, Fred, Kelly, Sam)started their spartan training using the MA2B assualt rifles, which are a more accurate, less advanced version of the MA5B and the MA6B, the ones in Halo 2 and 3

Boring for you. I enjoy it, as do many others. Bungie isn't dumb enough to cut half of their fanbase from buying Reach by removing the BR.

That's -blam!- pathetic... You seriously think people won't buy the game because of ONE damn weapon? Get over it newb. If you won't buy the game because of ONE dumbass weapon then GOOD! We don't want you anyway feg.

I said I'd be fine if the BR was tweaked. I've been playing Halo longer than most of you, so talk to me about loyalty.

I don't find it entertaining to bull-rush people with automatic weapons and trade beatdowns. And like I said, Bungie isn't stupid enough to do what you kids want anyway, so I'm planning on buying Reach.

I've had every Halo game from CE to ODST on the release day so I think i've had the games for a pretty damn long time myself and if you had half the common sence I thought you might you would of understood that CANNON makes halo it's the facts from the books ect meaning the BR was not developed in the time Reach fell meaning NO BR.

Unrealistic? This is Halo you tard. Where aliens drive giant laser shooting spiders. Why are you worried about realism? Go back to CoD.

1.I don't like CoD i've been a halo fan since it came out so no I won't go to CoD.
2.By realistic I mean for the game realistic so before you go running for your little ideas and your whole "i'm better than you" theory's I suggest you shut up.
3.It's a scarab not a "spider" moron.

As a matter of fact, a single shot weapon is harder to use at close range. If our new rifle is single shot, it would be much more balanced.

Another thing would be to raise the range of the AR, so it's not so similar to the SMG.

Random dude.. seriously Bungie owns halo and everything to do with it they're the guys behind the books moron everything in them is cannon and is fact for the halo universe and what happens in it during the times that are not coverd by the games.

The range of the AR and SMG arnt actually as close as you think they are an AR can hit a guy at about 1/2 to 3/4 the range of the BR if fired in controlled bursts but I dose really take alot of luck to actually kill the guy.

A single fire, precision weapon would be nice. I found the Halo 1 pistol hard to use in close range. A BR-esque weapon in Halo Reach should follow the mechanics of Halo 1's pistol.

I hate to burst your bubble, but Microsoft owns Halo, not Bungie. If you were as big of fan as you claim, you would know this.

Sure they are. They listen to the majority of the fans, and the majority of the fans are saying to remove the BR.

Don't worry, I'm sure they'll add something along the lines of the BR.

People say that, and it's true, but the problem is that it barely does damage at that range. You have to burst so slowly, and as we know, the AR's individual bullet damage is extremely low. You'll be doing that as the BR wielder kills you extremely quickly, right outside of the AR's range, which is barely anything compared to what the modern AR does.

Wrong. Microsoft own bungie which own's halo and it's universe due to the fact they created it. Bungie has the rights to do what it wants to its games aslong as it's released by the deadline microsoft sets.

I fully agree with that the AR is somewhat pathetic at anything other than close range it's pretty much the single-weild more powerfull virsion of the SMG with a terrible mid-long range capability it's hard to belive an AR of that day and age would be so inaffective at long range which was intially the "birth" of the idea of the BR which then destroyed halo's multiplayer by being over-powerd and too usefull at all ranges.
