I don't care what you do, just shut up and drive!

I miss the Beam Rifle. Instead it was replaced by the Needle/ Focus Rifles, which, in my opinion, both sucked.

Yes, the covenant need equivalents. The focus rifle isn't even in the same league as the UNSC sniper

That is exactly why I miss it, the focus rifel is a scoped sentinel beam at best. Don't even get me started on the needle rifle.

Lets think of an analogy.

OLd War Veteran > New Recruit

Beam Rifle > Focus Rifle

Not necessarily. If you think about the timeline, Reach falls barely a month before the Halo series begins. This should mean the weapons are the same as they would in the other games. That is another point, why change all the weapons? They shoul have kept all the old weapons. (minus the sentinel beam of course)

We aren't talking about timeline, I'm talking about gameplay. If you were focused on timeline, the two guns would be switched.

That is what im trying to say. But if it were up to me, I would have left the two new rifles out completely.

Hey, uh, if you like vs threads, then check out this little group right here, if you have the time. It's pretty fun, just hop right in.

...The what rifle? Oh, you mean the practical carbon copy of the sniper.

In other words the gun we don't need.

Beam rifle would be cool. But who cares, this game sucks anyway. Not like the beam rifle would make it better.

when i first got reach i explored the maps and couldnt find a beam rifle, so i tried to make a custom game and couldnt find it so i looked in my instruction manual and it wasnt in there. a bummer for reach.

Life is a journey, if you spend all of it with your nose in your map, you may miss some of the best parts.

Ooh, I love those people, the ones who decide to throw everything and the kitchen sink at you, as if an M16 does anything to a T-90. Oh, MLG player with noobtube instead? Congrats! You blew off one of my ablative plates!

Gun, meet Bad Guy.
Bad Guy, this is Gun.

I actually like the Focus Rifle, I believe I've gotten two Running Riots with it, I know I have gotten one but I'm not sure if I actually have two, but to have it as the covenant counterpart to the sniper is a horrible idea.
