Is that statement assuming something already, i.e. that there will be a magnum? Reminds me of the age-old political question asked of one candidate by another: "Sir are you still beating your wife?"

no they mean as in the strenght and effectiveness, yes literally your correct , the rifle would replace the old rifle, but they dont mean like literally your way too angry... go out and punch a wall or something dude...


Thank YOU too! I can't stand when people open there mouths and flame others when they are the idiots for not fully understanding the post they flame. Also Darkhellfire, before you get into what weapons held with how many hands, use your common sense to determine: Assualt rifle and SMG, are both rapid fire, and the Pistol and Battle Rifle both have zoom, and you should go for the head, the only differenct being that the battle rifle is three shot burst when not zoomed in. So go play with your toys, and let the grown-ups have a conversation.


Adults?? More like an idiot who wouldnt know reason if it bit him on the ass. Okay, so, now your saying the BR is the new sidearm?? Since when was a Rifle a sidearm, tell me that?? Please?? I want to know how it magically became a sidearm.


Shall i say this where a 5 year old could understand???? They do not mean that the BR is literally the replacment for the Pistol. They do not mean that the SMG is the replacment for the AR. DO NOT TAKE THIS THREAD LITERALLY. your ignorance is frustrating me, quit with the being literal and technical.

Haha, keep people like me in line, I dont line up in the column of idiocy as you and your little friends seem to be doing. I know what I'm talking about, how would it make any sense to have a sidearm in the books and in the first Halo, but then replace it was a new rifle and cut out the idea of a sidearm (and yes, a pistol will always remain a sidearm, no matter what, your false reasoning can't justify the fact that it is a sidearm, and shouldnt be, and probably wont be replaced by a rifle, it's called logic.) completely and then have you run around the game with only Covie's having plasma pistols and the humans magically having no handgun anymore.

It wouldnt make sense any other way. If they're going to totally shun the idea of the handgun just for a BR, that's a pretty stupid move.

The reasone it is a two handed weapon that is almost the same as this pistol, is so it can't be dual weilded. Bungie has said that all one handed weapons will be dual weildable, but imagine how strong it would be to dual weild something as strong as the battle rifle (or the pistol) it would be just too much, so they make it two handed, and thus, non-dual wieldable.

Neither would be a sidearm, I'm not saying you HAVE to have a sidearm, I'm just saying that the Humans should be allowed to have one to, instead of it getting thrown away and not being in the next installment.

Yeah, that kinda makes sense, but still, it's kinda weird to just cut a handgun out of the equation just because they dont want it to be dual wield, maybe they could fix it so you couldnt have to magnums, or whichever handgun they would've chosen, to not be dual wieldable with each other, its alot better than just cutting it out all together.

Yeah, I'm guessing we should either continue this in a way in a friendly manner, or just let the thread die.
