Not having it in the game forces you to use a variety of weapons, which I like. When I play odst I feel like 2 weapons isn't enough, but in H3 I could carry the br at all times and never have to switch, campaign and mp.

bungie has proven that a bunch of monkeys sitting in front of keyboards can randomly type out a masterpiece. the thing is, when you go to play the masterpiece, you cant help but notice all the monkey s**t smeared all over it.

it gets real old having to wait months for someone like mlg to clean off all the monkey poo.

removing the br didnt change a thing, especially since they left the carbine in.

noob combo 24/7, and nades for the hunters. just like h2 legendary, just like h3 slaso.

I'm 23, I have a house, dog, girlfriend, job and I have no interest in any fanboyism so if you're thinking about sending me a childish PM, don't be surprised when I don't call back.

Think about it, do you really need it?


It was never the fact that I needed it, I just didn't feel that the SMG/Pistol combo was an adequate replacement.

Bungie was right to remove the BR. You finally are forced to pick weapons carefully, you don't have a single weapon that excells in every field, you have to mix and match to meet challenges.
The "noob combo" is so prevalent because its efficient. You save ammo, while only expending a VERY plentiful weapon. It's also time efficient.

The SMG is similar to the AR in H3. Its simply more accurate with about the same power per clip. It's good for early firefight, and its good on heroic or lower in campaign.

I was rather upset about this too....I mean I saw ODSTs using BRs in Halo 2 and 3, so why the frick can't they use them in this game?It made no sense story wise cuz the BR was supposedly issued to all Marine forces to "marksmen".It said so in Contact Harvest.

This was more of a design issue not a story issue.

He makes a great point.^

That gun is unearthly. I'd take it over a BR any day.

I agree that the SMG got a significant power boost and it was welcome but the Pistol was weak and useless on it's own. This annoyed me, I happen to agree that the BR needs changing but having two half-weapons isn't the same as having one decent weapon.

The halo 3 odst pistol was a little tribute to halo: combat evolved......So where the health packs.

Halo 3 odst was(in my opinion) a tribute to halo: combat evolved.

Now granted I do miss the br, but i like haveing to have a diffrent combo.
