Subject: Will reach have a br?

Posted by: Minnesootan
If it doesnt have a BR I wont buy the game.. Its what makes the game fun. You will notice the people who don't want the BR in the game are those who suck at halo

I laugh at you again.

I just think it's funny that you refuse to buy a game just because it doesn't have a certain weapon.

Anyways, ever heard of a Covenant Carbine? It does the same job and actually kills quicker.

Yes I have Plasma.. and you are correct. Just saying if there is no BR I doubt it would be as popular.

And ill correct myself saying I will more in likely buy the game because Halo 2-3 has been very fun but the Online gameplay will not be as good.

and it takes more skill to use...its a single shot not a 3 shot burst. getting the headshot kill is MUCH harder with carbine people that like the BR are afraid of up close encounters

any one that needs a good reason for it to not be in read should read that thread and you'll know why BR will most likely not be in Reach...that not directed at you plasma you already have the right idea :)

Thanks for clearing that up. I wouldn't have ridiculed you if you had said this.

HIGHLY doubt that....if Halo 1 had online capabilities it would have been a smash hit as well...

its going to be a very successful online game regardless of the weapons....one weapon does NOT make a game good or bad. good gameplay does...

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

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

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

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.


did you even read any of this

1- i did not say the AR would be a Burst fire weapon. i said the AR should be "and actually is" more when fired in Burst.

2- I'm looking for an Assault rifle; not a gun that is actually a purpose built bludgeoning tool that is the MA5C in halo 3

3- where did i even mention mag capacity

4- i said the BR should be more practical than the AR at longer ranges

I use every weapon in the game both games, but the BR is the best go to weapon in Halo. The SMG and silenced pistol were just 2 guns that tried to equal one BR.

The BR is what separates Halo from everything else.

Most kills in the world with the Storm rifle in halo 4, the Plasma Repeater in halo reach, and the Plasma rifle in halo 3.
check out my youtube channel

i think that there should be no more of bungie deleting weapons from game to game

If the Br isn't in Reach, or an alternative weapon with the same basic function/purpose/etc... I don't see myself getting into the MP as much as with H2 and H3. I refuse to run around with an Ar, finger jammed on the trigger.

well the entire point of the AR was to control your fire with short controlled burst. however in Halo CE i did not make much more accurate and in halo 3 it's very accurate in burst however apparently Bungie intended the MA5 to be a bludgeoning tool instead of a gun. but i agree the BR should stay but work out some balance issues.

  • 10.18.2009 11:01 PM PDT

Bring back the Halo 1 pistol. Then people will be begging for the BR =p
