The Battle Rifle takes a lot more skill then an assult rifle so why did they bring it back? I hope they reconsider because the BR was a huge part of this game and the assult rifle took no skill. Where would MLG be without the BR?

P.S. I hope you arnt considering bringing back the Pistol too. It was a good weapon but it has to stay back in Halo:CE like that Assult Rifle.


You are complaining about something you don't even know is true yet?!

While you are at it, why don't you complain about the president of 2050?


LOOK AT IT! It looks the exact same as an AR from Halo:CE

MLG is nothing without their precious battle rifle? Thank god, I was wondering when those pompous jerks would stop acting like they are the best at the game.
and maybe, JUST POSSIBLY, they wanted to show off a new gun instead of the old Battle Rifle (which was used in the Halo 2 announcement trailer). How do you know the battle rifle isn't still in there?

i am sick of everyone saying which weapons need skill. If you would go up against a master of either of the weapons you would get ur ass handed to u so dont say it is easy if you can be beat with it when you have it to.

If you think killing someone with a BR is easy when they are strafing around not like a noob your wrong. If they are walking towards you then its an easy kill. Your a noob if you think a AR is any good.

Wow.

First, yes, it IS easy to kill someone with a BR as long as they are close enough for the auto aim to take effect. The reticle moves with them for god's sake!


2. If you think an SMG is better than an AR, your a noob. If you think noob is an actual insult, you are a moron.

3. How can you know if the weapon will suck or not? Who knows what it will act like? Will it be anything like the old AR? We don't know. We all know what assumptions do.

Point 3 is good but your still making your argument look bad by insulting people who think different than you.

Awesome... someone says you were bad at Halo 1 and you compare your Halo 2 ranks (which are total BS, by the way) and challenge him to a Halo 2 game.

What the hell?

anyway, it is true: you don't know what the gun will be like, and it does NOT look exactly the same.

for one thing everyone should shut up and stopp complaining about this game after everyone was waiting for it. Just the trailer comes out and already people are -blam!-ing just shut up and enjoy the game when it comes out. if you cant enjoy it dont ever play it.

Not if their not a noob like you. If they are strafing the auto aim wont work you noob. Get your facts straight before you talk because you probably dont know what its like to play someone good. BTW the quotes in your signature are REALLY -blam!-. I would take them out before people start making fun of them and how -blam!-gish they look

Sorry... I didn't mean to hurt his feelings. Next time I should just get him a mirror... that way it would take a little while to figure out.

Wow, "insulting" him because he is a lower rank in a video game. And to top it off, try to threaten him by saying you're better at a VIDEO GAME. You are a true hero, to be looked up to to younger children. Get off your high horse and take a step outside your basement, buddy.

for one thing Halo CE and Halo 2 are different games so if you little girls would stop fighting you would realize that u can be good at one and not the other. Next stop complaining about them they both kicked ass and deserve respect instead of people complaining about everything about them. if you dont like halo 2 dont play it if u dont like halo ce dont play it but leave the people who do like it out of your critisizime.

I dont have anything interesting to say I am just glad that we are not on the subject of the AR not existing and for the non Beleiver's check out the clip at 1:00 minutes dead on and you will see the Blue Letters that were on the Screen of AR in Halo.

There you go with that noob word again... sigh... When will you people learn?

I have played Halo 1 since a few months after it came out, and Halo 2 scince the day it came out, I think you are in no position to tell me what I know and don't...

I play people that are much higher level than you all of the time, level doesn't reflect anything.

Sigh... ad hominem... the lowest form of attack. If you know who I was quoting and what the significance of those quotes were you would think differently. As I have said about many people, but it rings particularly true with you, some people should be illiterate.

MLG existed before the BR. The pistol was the startingweapon befor in H1. So BR does not need to be in the game. I think bungie is going back to its roots for halo 3.

For years and years there have been games that feature weapons with multiple fire modes.

It certainly wouldn't be unthinkable for them to create a hybrid that lets you choose single shot, burst shot, or fully automatic.

Reccesuinth and faint you guys should stop arguing and acutally use the forum to discuss the topic. like i said you can be good at CE and bad at Halo 2 and vice-versa so stop slamming the games. also playing each other doesnt mean -blam!- like levels so stop trying to intimidate each other by using levels. and stop -blam!- complaing about the games, just play them and be happy instead of being little fighting -blam!-es. u guys give halo fans a bad image by not supporting bungie. so just shut up and hope that what you want will happen in halo 3

anyone who says there is no skill in the BR is an idiot and u can tell by their acounts they have no clue what they are talking about with their lvl 11 hardcore ranks and 24 slayer ranks.

If you hadn't noticed obviously it must take some skill to use the weapons and to be the best, because obviously YOU people who say there is no skill involved are not the one's making good money by playing a video game. And when is anyone gonna ever learn that it is a team game, the only reason the same team wins the mlg tournaments all the time is because of team work, something i'm sure most of the mutes who have mics but don't know how to or just never use them wouldn't understand.

If I were bungie i wouldn't even make a halo 3 because all anyone ever does is complain and -blam!- because the game isn't tailored to there individual likes and dislikes and as i've said before halo was meant to be halo, halo 2 to be halo 2 not halo 1.1, and halo 3 most likely will be halo 3 and not halo 1, halo 2, or halo 1.5.

And besides what can you take from a 2 minute video there were tons of things that were shown in magzines demos and all kinds of stuff that never made it into halo 2, like the ATV for example, why start complaining and -blam!-ing about the game now when it won't even be released for another year and a half.

The SMG sucks? I have to diagree. That is like my signiature weapon because everyone thinks it sucks but if you are smart and have strategies you can kick serious ass with it.
