Include both the BR and the Halo CE Pistol in the next Halo. I'm getting warm fuzzies just thinking about the combination.

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.

From the sounds of things it looks like they are just planning on making the BR behave more similar to the CE pistol.

"Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain and most fools do."
-Benjamin Franklin

All they have to do is make the br single shot instead of burst fire. That "should" make everyone happy but people are never satisfied so many will still -blam- about it no matter what changes are made. (or if no changes are made for that matter)

Thats the only thing though, the Carbine is already EXACTLY THAT.

People will still never understand what you just said. It is amazing to know that I'm not the only one who found this out.

Most of the people that moan and -blam!- about the BR and CE pistol never touch Covenant weapons.

thats true but in all honestly and i could never figure out what it was, i just don't like the carbine, and i'm not even bad with it, it just kinda bothers me.

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

They have that. It is called the CARBINE.

Too bad it has sucky accuracy and poor hit detection. Otherwise I might use it more.

the ce pistol is way over powered,2 and 3's were underpowered. A lot of peaple would be complaining if they do not revise the br, or take it out.

I am Field Master Avu Med 'Telcam, Servant of the Abiding Truth, and I have many brothers.

A god who creates tools is still a god. It is not for us to impose qualifications upon the divine or presume to guess its intentions.

So in Halo Reach,

BR = C.E. Pistol > Carbine

Probably just more comfortable with human weapons. I know I'll grab an SMG instead of a plasma rifle usually.

The carbine is not accurate though, if your aiming at a medium/long distance target the shots dance around the middle of your cursor. The BR from halo 2 and the Pistol from CE both were very accurate with each shot.
