Story wise is technically should be in there...it's a Marine exclusive weapon and I don't see why they wouldn't have them on PoA. I do have to agree that it would just mess up the feel of the game...but it would be neat to see dead Marines holding them and we couldn't pick them up.

The battle rifle is probably the most iconic weapon that's ever been part of halo. The halo 2 BR was perfect. This is just like the gnasher in gears, it is the most iconic weapon of gears. They are the most satisfying to kill with, extremely satisfying to out BR/gnasher someone. The most fun to use.




Umm no. The Assault Rifle is the iconic weapon.

And, seeing as he is also wrong on the Gears front, the Lancer is the most iconic weapon in the Gears franchise.

the DMR is fine, it wrecks vehicles like they are made of paper.
you say that like it's a good thing...


It is, that way people without vehicles actually have a chance against vehicles, instead of being massacred.
I suppose but they really made vehicles abit too weak in Reach

The DMR's vehicle wrecking abilities were God awful. We have rockets, Plasma Launchers, Spartan Lasers, Plasma grenades, jacking and other vehicles to deal with vehicles. Now we can destroy them with our spawn weapon.

Well i know im off topic but even though bungie isn't making halo no more but 343 industries are but bungie failed when they made halo reach what happened to the official halo between halo 1 to 3 where absolutely great especialy halo 3 had the up to date graphics but halo reach went to the limit. Halo reach well okay they have great graphics but the most problems where the Replacement of the BR why the hell would you remove the best weapon plus the DMR is crap the br is great for long and short distances but the DMr goes all over the place until you get the hang of it but still that was better i hope 343 fix this at least by getting the br back and removing the DMR or at least keep both of them plus everyone i know has left halo reach after as few months as it wasn't fun as halo 3 use to be plus the ranks were useless if you see now only 1 or few has reached the highest rank after nearly a year only to make us soo like a geek to reach the highest rank i gave up till i reached general grade 4 still that was too much. all i see is the bad kids playing reach right now and more people are owning with the AR- assault rifle against the DMR. All im saying no br then no more halo for me or the other 100k + people in my youtube video that agreed. Plus im sticking to halo 3 till the end instead of the new halos if its going to be like


First: PUNCTUATION
Second: non of your rant was about why CE would get the BR? it never had it to begin with
Third: Halo 3 BR sucked on matchmaking. LAG. Only on system link it did justice.

To sum up the previous points:

No BR in Halo CEA, it was not in the first game.

Frankie stated that the gameplay will be exactly the same, so therefore there is no BR in Halo CEA.

Halo 4: Who knows? The BR is not the most iconic weapon in Halo, that goes to either the Energy Sword, Plasma Rifle, Plasma grenade, Plasma Pistol or Assault Rifle, as these weapons have been in every single Halo game (besides the exception of the AR in Halo 2).

I would like to see it, it is a very fun weapon to use, but whether it features in multiplayer is a different story.

I don't want a BR in Halo CE because CE was the best game of the series and it was amazing without the BR, if they put it in Halo 4, that's great.



I'd have to agree here. Myself, being an avid player of all halo games, have an opinion too. CE was easily the best out of the bunch for MULTIPLAYER. Main reason being starting weapon. Pure game balance. The M6d Pistol always gives you a chance to live and go on a killing rampage in the right hands. Yet I'm hearing nothing about it.

You won't play Halo unless the Battle Rifle is in it? Your loss, man.

The BR isn't everything. I honestly don't care if it doesn't make the final cut. The philosophy behind each weapon in Reach was good, each weapon serving a particular purpose, not one weapon excelling in all areas.

  • 06.17.2011 5:31 PM PDT

Check out my file share! It will be updated occasionally with my new best maps.

I am SUPER disappointed in you guys.

Halo multiplayer = BR.

You're a -blam!- scrub if you disagree.


Ha. Scrubs are for sponges. Go back to Minor League Gaming. The BR was exploited and used in ways Bungie didn't intend. It was built for mid-long ranges. If it returns, it'll need some rebalancing. And people's dislike of the DMR comes from Bloom. The gun is fine. The random factor simply disturbs what it could be.

I await your comeback which will surely include what my rank is.

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

oh -blam!- no...even the guy who made the BR hates it.

Halo:CE had the over powered pistol where you could head shot from across the map...that is one of the reasons why CE is awesome.

Thats bollocks about the br thing you said above plus only above skill 50s like me comment please i know all the pros that want the br and forget halo ce i would love it if it had no br or dmr which they dont on campaign disc but in mutiplayer disc they have the dmr as its the reach engine they just made 7 new maps basically they kept it the same on mutiplayer just with the new maps. But yes halo 4 should have br and the haters atleast both br and dmr the iconic weapons mostly used on gears were the gnasher shotgun and the br on halo as thats the most skill full gun for the game including all the mgl players were into it that proves a point what happened to reach they gave up less games in pro circuit. Just to make it fair just have both weapons on halo 4 thats it sorted

There will be no BR in Halo CE

However, it is possibility for BR to come back in Halo 4 since armory section is likely to be near engine section and cryosleep section in FuD. However I have played Halo 3 myself, and I admit that I'm Lieutenant but it doesn't make my opinion invalid. IF any one uses skills, k/d and ranks as argument, don't bother... you will need to make arguments intelligently with evidence/proof plus thesis to make me to take your arguments seriously. If not, then you're labeled as tryhards and virtually useless to argue against thus will ignore the tryhards. My opinion is that BR is too overpowered, thus un-balancing everything in the matchmaking. I tried my best to combat against BR users but it was... futile.

However if they bring BR back, I would like to see that BR is re-tweaked to properly balance in the match making games. But I would accept DMR to come back again as well, since this gun is fine, it's just bloom is causing problems. It can be re-tweaked again as well. And, DMR aren't supposed to be anti-vehicle weapon, it's supposed to act like DMR= Designated Marksman Rifle, primarily designed to take out infantry in medium to long range. Destroying the vehicles is for rockets, spartan laser, etc.

You must be a pro at failing grammar. The Battle Rifle has never been an iconic weapon in the Halo franchise, this was proven by the fact that it was just in two games out of the 6 Halos that had been released so far, unlike the Assault Rifle (the true iconic weapon of the franchise) which has been on 5 of them.

Also, the iconic weapon of the Gears of War series is the Lancer, so you are wrong, yet again.

Your attempts to combat BR users failed because you're a bad player. That sounds harsh, but that's just the case. You are trying to use the BR as an excuse for you being bad at the game.

The truth is, even without the BR you'd have been just as bad, and then you would have tried to blame something else.

You're looking for a reason you dont perform well, and instead of you admitting fault you feel the need to blame a weapon. You're trying to use the BR as a scapegoat.

Hence overpowered. Do you not realize that majority of community in Halo 2 and 3 complained about BR?

Since when K/D or sucking at the game determines the argument? If you think like that, obviously you're idiot. I was merely stating my opinion about BR, there is nothing wrong with implementing my opinion. Perhaps I made some mistake on choice of words.

My god, what is wrong with those kids who using K/D, skills, calling other bad players automatically means they're invalid...! What happened to their common sense?

The majority of the H3 community complained about the consistency (or lack of) with the BR, and the majority of the H2 community complained about glitches, some of which when coupled with the BR were incredibly powerful. Get your facts straight.

You have a bias against the BR simply because you got killed by it so much. That was not because the weapon was overpowered, but rather because you simply were not a good player. You're the one at fault, not the BR.

(This is primarily speaking of the H3 BR, since you mentioned your H3 stats.)

Yes. If you are bad at the game you can't possibly understand what makes it a good game.
That's quite possibly the WORST logic I have ever read. I have but one reaction to such stupidity.

Just to add, your argument is not invalid because of your stats, your argument is just extremely flawed because of them.

I am against ignoring arguments or opinions completely simply because the person they are coming from isnt great, but it is undeniable that a bad player isnt going to have the understanding a good player has, and that a bad player is going to carry a lot of bias, as showcased by you.

A bad player is bound to want to blame something out of their control for their shortcomings, rather than admitting personal fault. Like blaming team mates and the ranking system for not being able to get a 50.

Understandable. I can get to rank 50 if I wanted to but I can't due to my disk is broken and I don't have time to buy new one since I'm working on other games such as Reach, etc.

I figured that I might to have buy new one very soon, then.

Well there definitely shouldn't be a BR in Halo CE Anniversary edition, just the pistol in all it's glory. That was the best thing ever, sitting around playing some multiplayer (system link) with your friends owning with the pistol from across the map. I can't wait for this to be released, for the multiplayer aspect and definitely for the campaign as well which is still one of the best campaigns to play thru.

As far as Halo 4 is concerned, I would like to see the default weapon for matchmaking be more like the BR instead of the DMR, or heaven forbid the Assault Rifle. The Assault Rifle is a joke and extremely over rated, but I agree about bringing back the Battle Rifle and I really wish it would behave more like the classic BR from Halo 2.
