The Master Chief emerged from his code. After seeing his dynamically lit realtime shadow, he went back for 9 more months of development.


Behold the power of the Originals, the Gods Axeone-Neurone.

I read one gameplay review that the BR takes a couple more rounds to kill, but is more versatile than the pistol.

Well, it'll definitely be more versatile with the two firing modes. Should also be much more balanced, unlike the pistol.

the pistol for me was overpowered whenever i thought about it i think of it as the newb gun
some of my friends who aren't good just use it all the time it's irritating i dont see any other weapon during multiplayer except the sniper and the assault rifle can you immagine that
only three weapons and 2 of em snipe

the pistol is not a newb gun no matter how you slice it, it takes skill to kill a person in 3 shots the majority of the time......but enough of that......

it seemed to me from the recent e3 demo that is is just as powerful.......i mean it took off the wing of the ghost in just 4 shots, seems pretty powerful to me at least, but with the two firign modes it is definetly more deadly than the pistol

Also in the demo, it took down a Brute in a few shots. From what I hear (mostly in First Strike) the Brutes are supposed to be super strong.

Yeah, but in the demo, the Brutes were basically Grunts with a cooler skin, since they hadn't been fully implemented yet. Now, word on the street is that they take three head shots to down with the sniper rifle.

No lazerus, you were right originally. Killing someone in three shots with an overpowered weapon doesnt require skill.

ur saying that the average person can kill people most of the time in 3 shots.......

really, you might want to argue about something different

you must be one of those guys that gets constantly owned by everyone online that uses the pistol with skill, thats why you hate it......

Yes it does, it's challenging. But anyways, i think the Battle Rifle should take at least 2 more shots to kill.

I would hope not, I'd rather have "Balanced" weapons in Halo 2...
