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).
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.
