Subject: The B R in Reach

the smghas to be in reach, it just has to.

I think that everyone who says that the B R should be taken out of the game are idiots. We should make it less over powered. Maybe make it semi auto. post ideas

Idea 1. make the AR not suck and have the BR be a longer range semi auto weapon. who agrees with me?

Give it better range. If Bungie lets the fiction dictate the weapons, Balance the pistol.

I do expect to see the BR though. I would not to bothered at all if it goes unchanged. They will never make it weaker though. NEVER.

We got Jackals in the courtyard!

the Ar needs more range.(i think similiar to the SSMG in ODST) Also, the Br should be weakened a small amount so a 5 shot is necessary. it seems like that would be more fair.

ex. AR and BR fire the same round.

from point blank, in the head, BR takes 12 shots to kill. Ar takes 16 shots to kill. if the Br needed that one extra burst, it would be closer. that way, its toned down a tiny bit but enough to make a difference, and it still retains its long range functionality.

Look at your game, now back at Reach. Now look at your game, now PLAY REACH!

From leaked and badly resolutioned images of Reach located on Halopedia, I believe that there will be a CUSTOMIZABLE version of that Battle Rifle, or at least a VERY heavy one... See linky. Copy/paste.

For more of these, checkitout on the Gallery of New Files, seen here:

I trust this as Devkit production gameplay, reason for some of the textures being off...

Oh, and no space between Un and til.

The shots needed before a melee attack will kill is much less in the AR though. To few in my opinion. This give the AR a big leg up in close range combat. Whitch is fine.

You need to take into account the rate of failure with a given weapon. Missing a single trigger pull with the BR very often leads to your death. Changing the power to a 5 shot kill would make it just a little more effective that the Halo 3 pistol.

What made Halo CE a great game was the focus on single shot weapons. Not the AR. Not automatic weapons.

Every time I read something that I think is the stupidest thing ever and something can't replace it, something manages to replace it.

BR is semi auto isn't it?

You don't pull a cockinghandle after each round.

yet it doesn't empty the whole clip if you just hold the trigger.

  • 11.22.2009 9:27 AM PDT

they already made the br so your all pretty much sying wat couldve been

Yes, it fires a burst. But you need to aim for each pull of the trigger. This clearly sets it apart from the automatic weapons of the game.

The BR is more like the Carbine than the AR. Clearly.

if the br took 5 shots everyone would use the ar and it would be a battle of who saw the other person first br takes skill and many ppl who use it close range are good enough to so if anything make the br stronger definetly not weaker

I agree with that. It would play a lot like the "Duel wield" friendly Halo 2.

As much as I love the BR, I just can't get a positive feeling towards it. I loved Halo:CE and I'm glad it wasn't in ODST otherwise it would've been too easy. However I do expect to see it in Reach, hopefully with an altered design and not as overpowered. Silenced could always be an option. I love silenced weapons. Love them.

I really don't get how it is overpowered. Especially since you "loved Halo:CE".

I just think it's too powerful. Granted, it has a fairly poor range when you attempt to shoot from the opposite side of the map, but it's come to define the game. The story should define the game much more than a weapon.
But it's just my opinion. You can have yours, and I can have mine.

For the campaign? Yeah, I would agree with it being over powered. Its the same as it is in multi. In Halo CE the pistol was only okay at dealing with Elites. The needler was the Halo CE "Elite Killer".

For multi though, the BR is fine. Aside from the limited range.

That's exactly what I'm saying! Glad we are both toghether on the idea.

ODST had no Multiplayer aside from Firefight, so there was a good reason to cut it. But in Matchmaking, the BR should really stay. MS probably told Bungie to bring it back after the sales rates of ODST came through...
Joking aside, it should have an improved range, or a silenced version.

I have logged more hours on the Halo CE campaign then any other shooters single player. I know exactly what you are talking about. Elites had to be dealt with. Not just run over like most Brutes are.
