Never give up on your dreams... unless you wanna be an astronaut.

I'm sure the Battle Rifle and the Sniper will change. No gun in the Halo series was ever the same, but who knows if they will even be in Reach.

I do not want the BR in Reach. Go back to 2001, and Halo: CE. We didn't have the BR? And that, in many minds, was the best Halo Game.

Halo 2 introduced the BR, and every other weapon, except for a handful, became obsolete to the noob pwning weapon.

No, the BR wasn't in CE. The reason for that is because it was not standard issue weaponary at that time. But since Reach is the main Military planet of the UNSC, we will most likely see almost EVERY weapon. The exeption being the MA5C, as it was not in use 'til after The Battle of Reach, that's why in CE, we use the MA5B (60 bullet clip size; less accurate, as opposed to the MA5C: 32 bullet clip size; More accurate).

Real men use magnums.

I really hope they significantly weaken the BR in halo reach. I'm kind of sick of only using it and people being like oMg bR is pwn and only weap0n tha7 takez skillzors.

Ok, so we'll see every weapon. That doesn't mean, at every turn in a forest, there's a fresh set of BR ammo lying on the ground.

If we do have a little of every weapon, then the BR should be one of the weapons we don't see often. Just to force you to be diverse.

No, we probably won't see the BR as much as in Halo 3, at least not in Campaign. But in multiplayer, due to its popularity, it will probably been seen on most maps. Hopefully, we will have a playlist specifically for the BR (Not necessarily MLG) so that we don't have BR lovers around every corner.

That's what I don't want. In Halo 3, unless you are a BR user, you're called a noob, betrayed, and blamed on everything for. You're expected to use it now.

Most of why I don't play H3 as much anymore. Why use X when you can use a BR? Why use Y when you can use a BR? Why use Z when you can use a BR? Want to use an SMG or AR? Go ahead, but if you actually manage to kill someone dumb enough to let you get within range they're going to rage like the little teens that they are and call you a BK because you wanted variety in your style of play!

It sadly seems like the one rule of many Halo players is that if it's automatic it's for BKs. Oh, and equipment is for noobs too. God forbid I fail to splatter you because that nub over there chucked a power drainer. What a scrub.

If the BR is in Reach and is kept the way it is without rebalancing either it or other weapons to ensure viability then I'll just avoid multiplayer like the plague. I get so tired of BR and AR spawns, I really do. I get so tired of seeing 12/16 players in BTB use literally nothing except the BR. It's a great gun but I think that perhaps that has become a problem. It's too efficient in comparison to all the other non power weapons.

I only want the BR hogs out of my Social Playlists. But those people are just a$$holes.

What they don't realize is the fact that the BR has a Full Auto setting in the books. And I agree, the other weapons need a power boost.

I will be there to answer your questions! No matter how obvious or stupid they may be, don't be afraid to ask. It'll pay off in the long haul.

Sniper and BR are in Reach it was proven.

The sniper is supposed to have a longer delay inbetween shots.

And the BR is supposed to only have 12 shots per clip, but it dosn't fire in bursts.

the BR won't be in due to timeline and canon
gameplay>canon

the halo canon should be competley rewritten

And aren't the books based on the game? So...

That is true. I had actually completely forgotten about that.

Yeah. And if is was full auto, it wouldn't be much better than an Assault Rifle, then they would think it was noobish, and therefor would not want it anymore.
