Why is everyone forgetting about the Covenant Carbine?

Its a good weapon?

Also They should bring in the MA5K and the Assualt Rifle from Halo 1, 60 rounds, it'd be like the UNSC's Light machine Gun.

3 (else): BR = franchise player
- halo 2 br made the game what it is, an online beast, the best FPS out there, but COD is good also.
- halo 1 AR ran show... no it didnt

4 (else): the game is boring without an BR
- youre pretty much useless without a BR
- I was playing a game of slayer on guardian and kis were running top mid and laughing because I couldnt even do damage to them

Halo reach without a BR will be a fail



1-the BR is only second the AR as the most boring Gun in halo.
both the AR and BR sound like Air soft guns, just one of those airsoft guns could actually kill you
i mean hell with the plasma pistol at least you could falcon punch people out of Ghost

or maybe take it out of matchmaking, but let us use it in customs
and then give us a search engine so that we can find other people who want to play BRs.
Have you every heard of these, they are called OTHER GUNS.(_) the care-mug is empty

ill wreck you with or without it, but it just makes the game better


Hard talk little man.

Fact: Bungie follows cannon so if there is gonna be any BR in Reach according to what i've read it'll be near the end and found in a suitcase in some sewers.

Anyway my PoV here is that the BR made halo 3 very very boring and repetetive games where you don't spawn with a BR turn into a rush for the BR then play the game type.

BR could take on anything and most times win (weapons not vehicals) so whats the point in other weapons? A game with one weapon = boring nuff said.

so according to your logic, it doesnt matter what you start with the game will be boring and repetitive, if you dont start with the BR then youll just start with another weapon. TEll me. how does the ar make the game so exciting.

Hey im running right in front of you, like 12 feet away, but theres nothing you can do cuz if you come after me well double beat down, and then he can all be winners yahoo


Didn't say anything about the AR did I?

*checks*

Thought not.

Anyway your logic is rather more stupid than what you thought mine was.

Who wants a BR who can shoot at anyone at any-range and have a 90% chance of killing them if they're in the open?
Fun.

Anyway do you understand the meaning of CAN(N?)ON the story tells the BR is still in development/testing and the only BR's on Reach from what i've seen posted were in a suitcase underground in some sewers near the end of the book. So if your beloved BR is in the game logically it shouldn't be there untill the near end.

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

The BR is a popular MLG weapon and Bungie acknowledges that, but we have no idea of what they decide in the end.

That's true, but just because it's the MLG starting weapon doesn't mean they wouldn't use something else. They might have used the Carbine if it could be used as a starting weapon. The BR spread is considered by MLG to be one of the things making it less skilful, so it's not unsafe to assume that they'd want something better in Reach.

Than why not Magnums? They take hella more skill than the BR. Also, in Halo 2 the Carbine WAS a starting weapon you could choose, they didn't pick it for one reason, and one reason alone: At the time they wanted to remove Covenant weapons from the gaming experience.

Yeah the fact that you need to think before you rush out into the open really ruins the game. When I spawn, why can't I just run top mid and feel comfortable nothing will happen because no one was a weapon that can shoot past 10 feet.

The BR only kills you from across the map if you're stupid. The BR has acceptable close range, 3 shots and beat down. Incredible at mid range and can do damage at long range against idiots. Some call the BR a power weapon. The BR is a versatile weapon yes but skill is required to use it unlike a rocket launcher or shot gun.

I would like to see you use this amazing BR you speak of. When you said the BR caused boring and repetitive gameplay, he pretty much called you an idiot. In life, no matter what you do things are repetitive. However some things last longer then others

whether you enjoy pointless Ar beatdown battles (my opinion)
or
br battles

The BR-prototype has been in service ever since Harvest. 60 bullet Battle Rifle with automatic, burst, and single fire. There's no reason why it shouldn't be in Reach, but I'm sure some major adjustments would be made to it.

It hasn't been "In Service" it's just been floating around, and was only ever used on VERY rare occasions (on Harvest, it was used for testing. On Reach, they just came across them in a testing facility.)

I think Bungie should leave out the BR55, and make the MA5B have longer range and a smaller reticule. This way, we will have an assault rifle that actually acts like one. To fill its place, they could add an MA5K to be the close-mid range inaccurate assault rifle.


thank you, some who knows what an Assault rifle is for
but here is an idea that makes both gund fun to use, balanced, and true to the names

1- The BR should stay, but it should also be funner to use and have a different role. I would like it to be Semi auto. so its not another assault rifle. the definition of a battle rifle is a gas operated riffle that fire a full sized rifle rounds like the 30-06, ot the 7.62x51 which ironically the AR shoots

2- I think the AR should be the mid range jack o all trads weapon. like the AR in RFG where you have a slight zoom, becomes more accurate, and gets a smaller reticule. also make sound like the MA5B. i miss that wonderful noise; the Damage was set up. it took around 22 shot to drop the shield but 3-5 to kill once you sheild was down

so what about this

AR- Slight Aim
Fire rate- 10/sec
shield damage 16 rounds
Armor Damage 4 rounds
2 second kill

BR- 4x Zoom
Fire rate 4 rounds a sec
Shield damage 9 rounds
Armor damage 1 head shot 2-3 torso
2.5 second kill

so in this case the AR kills faster then the BR, however with the AR you have to use burst fire to accurately hit your target at longer ranges; so the delay in fire rate allows the BR to win at longer ranges.

yeah yeah

make the ar shoot in burst, give it a small reticule, give it a 12 burst clip (36 bullets), and... oh wait i think youre trying to turn the ar into a br... fail
