Sure the Battle Rifle looks like the best thing since sliced bread, but something tells me there will be some limitations put on it. Right now it is just too good. It seems to be an all in one Super Weapon. And as we all know, the most important part of Halo is the awesome weapon balance. Yes, the battle rifle will kick ass, but I think our expectations are almost too high for it.

i agree. i think it will be a little worse than what everyone else is saying. it will most likely have limitations.

It will either lack consistent accuracy (similar weapons to rainbow six 3) or the individual rounds won't pack as much of a punch as, say, the human pistol - somewhere in that middle ground between the assault rifle and the human pistol, definitely. Also, it should be noted that in the 8 min. demo at last year's E3, altough the player reloaded the battle rifle, his HUD was not visible. Hence, nobody knows the capacity of the clip in the new battle rifle. Same goes for the new SMGs. Throughout the entire demo, not once did the player reload those bullet hoses; and keep in mind that master chief got the guns from a wounded corporal who, more than likely, had already used up some of the ammo.
