I have no understanding of Halo canon.

But: Johnson had a prototype BR in 2525. The Battle of Reach took place in 2552.

Thirty years isn't enough time to develop a working model from a prototype?

He's not holding a BR, it's an AR.

Referencing my paperbacks and some other geekery, there were battle rifles on Reach, but they were squirreled away in the ONI base and weren't used until the events in First Strike... I think.
So, if the game covers more than simply the Fall of Reach, then battle rifles could be seen without a break in canon.

Then, of course, it could cover events and places that the novels have not yet covered...


Beside that, though, the only reason to think the weapon shown is a battle rifle is the longer barrel, but there are instances in which Spartans used silenced assault rifles, and that could account for the apparently lengthened barrel, too.

Because Muslims surgically implant organic bombs in their testicles, which in turn will be injected into women during sex, which will grow into BABY BOMBS!

EMP rifle?


It's just speculation but people think that the gun on the left may be this

The battle of Reach took place a few days before/during Halo 1. All the weapons that we use in current Halo games existed during that time. Which ones will appear in the game isn't known.

Everything from Halo 1 was...better

It really depends. I think they should have the MA5K AR. It's seen on the cover of Ghost's of Onyx.

EMP rifle?

Ah, you must not have been around when that lil' tidbit was unearthed on Halopedia.

Somebody found this. Pretty cool, huh?

That one matches the figure on the left, methinks.

Its a trap!!!

OMG put this in the 1,000,000 other forums about the BR

agreed

this is annoying. lol the title almost makes it like its some kinda reocurring nightmare that haunts peoples dreams.

"Bungie did you make the BR go away?"

"No, but we left the night light on for you"

While I admit that they could make it a singleshot which would take more skill then the current. It still takes enough skill that it is a n00b pwner.

The weapon is still skilled enough to create a large skill gap and make people run in fear or complain.
