Multiplayer Gameplay
Halo:CE------------------Reach--------Halo2-----------------H alo3
Campaign Experience
Reach----Halo:CE-----------------ODST-----Halo2---------Halo3

Glad that Halo 3 garbage is dead, thanks to Reach.
Unfreakenbelievable!!

Hmmm, that's weird, because most "MLG fanboys" prefer balance and fast-paced gameplay, which is what a ranged weapon promotes. The older MLGers would much rather prefer the M6D Pistol.

I'm not really sure why kids reference the BR to "MLG fanboys". I guess that is why they are "kids" and don't know better. Oh whoops, I called you "kids". Well, atleast "kids" refer to someone who has little experience and wisdom of things, which is what I was getting at. "MLG fanboys" doesn't even refer to the BR; it refers to balance and competitiveness.

Either way, it doesn't matter, because the BR is definitely in Halo:Reach (well, from what I saw from the leaked info), and Bungie will do what they believe is right. I just hope they don't change it from a single-shot to a burst-fire like with Halo 2; that would not be a right decision.

Halo 3 AR =/= Halo CE AR.

Besides, the BR is pretty much a glorified pistol anyway.

The Halo 3: ODST pistol was alright, but the Halo: Combat Evolved pistol was sooooooo much better.

The Br is the best weapon, and we all want.

I don't want it, don't speak for others, EVER.

The BR can easily be classified as a "power weapon" if I can get a kill in under five pulls of my trigger with a normal gun, there's a problem. Especialy in Halo. Hell the magnum from CE is the best example of this...

Besides, it would not fit the timeline for Reach, it was a prototype weapon when they found it in the bowels of ONI HQ.

I am an avid gamer with a passion to keep games fun and strategy provoking, rather than simply button mashing instant-reward games that plague the market nowadays. I'm not kind, but I'm rational, fair, and maybe, just maybe, somewhat intelligent.

yep heres the fanboy ive been waiting for and the br takes no skill


Wrong.

It takes skill to properly 4-shot someone on Live, it just doesn't happen every time. It also takes skill to lead your shots properly at all ranges.

how you gonna kill snipers then? with your AR maybe? at long range?


face it, this weapon fits an IMPORTANT role in the series.
if they remove it, they might as well remove the sniper rifles and shotguns and only keep the AR because "omg lol halo ce roxxx!!!!11!!1 original wapon ftw".


Just like every rifle, it's about having a mix of weapons to fit the gap.

  • 11.20.2009 3:52 AM PDT

I would like to see the Br in Reach but woldnt mind if it wasnt there ( Even if it is already confirmed) because in
Halo 3:ODST I actually enjoyed using different kinds of weapons both Human and the convenents weapons, especially in Firefight.

The BR is an overated weapon that MLG fanboys use and it ruins the game the most I want a game thats halo CE not HAlO 3 or Halo 2 and the people who yell at me for not liking the BR you sir are unofficalplayer of halo. people who like the AR date back to the good old days with Ratrace, bloodgulch, sidewinder and if you dont know these maps.Also people who started from halo 3 and halo 2 get of halo get of the forums seriously.


That's why your still a Colonel Grade 3.

  • 11.20.2009 5:28 AM PDT

I would rather have the 3-shot M6D than the 4-shot BR any day. You AR kids are asking to get wrecked even more.

ok, seriously? Just rewrite that whole thing. It's awful. And heres a few things:

1) If you want CE so badly, go play it. It's not like the world is forcing you to play Halo 2 or 3.

2) I would also love to know where this idea of being an "unofficial player of halo" comes from for simply liking the BR. For anyone who thinks that way, look at my stats and how long I've been playing and tell me that I'm not a real halo player.

3) So EVERYONE who likes the AR has played since Halo 1? ummmm....lol? I know a lot of people on Halo 3 who love the AR, but halo 3 is their first Halo game. Try not to assume so much. Also, you could finish that sentence about the maps.

4) So even if someone started playing when Halo 2 came out, their opinions have no value? Even Halo 3 came out over two years ago, so I'm sure that most players have a pretty good idea of what their talking about now. In reality, it's people like you that need to get off the forums.

5) And last, but not least, the BR is NOT overrated. Period. And before anyone comments on this part, I love both the AR and BR.

  • 11.20.2009 5:57 AM PDT

I kinda find it funny.

People want a rifle that works like a rifle should replaced with a pistol that works like a rifle.

Just let it be in the game, we all know it was around then, in works like it should, and if they put the pistol some people want, it would be over powered.

No.

The BR is already confirmed, but it is only a single shot and has 12 bullets in a round.


Sounds damn good to me.

It isn't confirmed it's speculated from the leaked pics. Until we find out if those are real or not we wont know for sure. But, It's likely.

Yes, but I would love to know what they get this information, especially since the only thing shown for Reach so far is a teaser trailer and Bungie has said nothing else of it.

edit: nvm...i found some apparently leaked photos of reach...look real i guess

Even if the leaked photos are real, they are in alpha testing. This is the time where most changes occur (Hence why most companys don't give out specifics during Alpha testing). That gun you feel is confirmed (Which it isn't) is subjected to change and most likely will.

Look out.... -boom- (headshot)
I told you to look out, but know, you got in my way, was going to shoot that splaser....

It's because they assume the "leaked" photos are real.

First off, If you look under Sinnoch [this account is only silver so I have to us my dads Gold account] You'd notice my top 3 weapons are Melee, BR and AR. And Ill explain it, I use BR as I start far away, as I get with in CQC I switch to AR, and if I need to beatdown, or switch to BR for a quick Headshot.

Second, the reason I believe some people want to Battle Rifle to leave is because of how good so many people are with it, they want a new, chalenging, weapon.

Third, Origanal Poster, flaming MLG is no way to advance your case, I may not have played any MLG lists, but I have partied up with people who usually play MLG and together we kicked some butt. Flaming only creates arguments, spam threads, and bungie being forced to unleash their Ban Hammer.

Lastly, a four shot pistol... your.... your kidding me right? Please tell me your kidding, a four shot pistol... -sighs-
A four shot pistol would be redundant and useless, even with a scope. In theory, I understand you want a more balanced version of the M6D automagnum, but redusing the ammo cound is not the way to do it.

P.S. I may only be a Lieutenant, Grade 1, but I still know my way around a gun and how things should work.
Oh, and this is my thought on this thread, Thoughts

There shouldn't be a Battle Rifle in Reach, Halo: CE did not have one. The Halo: CE pistol however should be present.

Honestly, over 75% of the people that want BR taken out aren't good with it. Thats why they want it taken out, someone is better, and beats them every time, so its automatically over powered and they hate it. Sadly most of them will not admit it and use the excuse "Look at my service record!".

And MLG players are good all round players (for the most part), they can use alot of weapons better then most others, hence why some of them get paid to go and compete. Look at Tsquared, SK, snipedown, hyseria, Igoturpistola, and elamite warrior.

6 pros from 2 different pro teams, the top 2. You can see them killing players who are using BRs with a pistol, why? Because they are good, and can aim. Everyone thinks its the BR that does the work for them, in the end its their aiming. Go watch a MLG pro game, even they don't get all head shots, so the kids arguing that it's too easy to get a kill with deffinetly wouldn't get them all the time.

Just because it wasn't in a game doesn't mean it wasn't there. Halo: CE had 1 ship with weapons from the UNSC. Halo: Reach is on a military planet, you see what i'm getting at here?

  • 11.20.2009 6:24 AM PDT

RIP Halo 2 Multiplayer

Unofficial player of Halo? I've loved Halo since CE, and the CE AR was awesome, but honestly, if they remake the wimpy Halo 3 AR, I won't even touch it once. And Halo 2 and 3 are just as much Halo games as Halo CE was, so if you don't like the BR which is a part of Halo 2 and 3, it's really you who isn't the true Halo fan.
