Battle Rifle and SMG, do you want them back?

Do you want the Battle Rifle and SMG back in Halo 4?

To name a few

This thread seems kind of pointless since these topics are being argued about in a good 20 other threads, but yea I would love those two weapons back.

The SMG, along with dual wielding for sure.

I’ve been thinking about the BR and DMR after playing CEA, and I’m not so sure it’s really needed.

Bring back the BR.

Most of the kids who didn’t like it sucked with it.

The BR with Reach’s netcode would be amazing.

I think all of the halo weapons should be there. none should be left out

Yes ,as well as bringing back the Dual Wield. Something we couldn’t do in Reach.

They should just bring all of the guns and dual weilding back.

  • Designated Marksman Rifle
  • Shotgun
  • Battle Rifle
  • SMG (Silenced or normal)

The list goes on, these are just my favourites.

To be honest I didn’t much care for the SMG. I just hope they have a good pistol (like in C.E., Reach, or ODST) Also the classic Assault Rifle design(like in C.E. and Halo 3)as well as the rest of the weapons expected to be in a Halo game. I’m sure the Battle Rifle will be back in Halo 4 and I’d be perfectly fine with that.

Battle Rifle? Yes.

SMG? Couldn’t care.

i want mainly the BR but the smg would be cool. Bring back the “beam rifle” =]

BR definitely

SMG- no, wasn’t a fan of dual-wielding

yeah, but maybe the odst smg? you could dual wield still but obviously you wouldn’t be able to use the scope.

The battle rifle better be there

BR? yes! SMG and NO AR? YES!

also short fired and shots hit and % in the post game carnage report

BR? No

SMG? No

Needler or an equivalent of a Needler Gun? Yes

Just bring back “all” of the UNSC’s weapons. More weapons = more choice = more diversity in battles = more weapons dedicated to special niches/map types.

For instance, the BR and DMR could exsist next to each other.
The DMR as a long range, one shot, precision weapon which packs a lot of power at long range. Relatively small reticle, so aiming effectively on short distances is a bit harder.
The BR as a medium range, burst weapon which is better suited for smaller distances, packing less power at long range.

Same goes for the AR-SMG.
AR could be a close-medium range weapon which has a lower rate of fire than the SMG, but packs more punch per bullet.
SMG could then come 1 two versions:
1: “Standard”, which would be automatically dual wielded (no more single wielded SMG), with higher rate of fire, more spread and therefore better on close range.
2: Silenced, the ODST version with scope, basically acting as a automatic BR with more recoil and less punch per bullet.

That would mean for instance, that on a map the size of Valhalla for instance, the AR and BR would be your weapons of choice. But on a map like Spire (full sized) a DMR might be better than a BR. And on a map the size of Turf with its small hallways and corners the SMG would be your weapon of choice instead of the AR for instance.

Definately want the BR in H4. Im not too fussed about SMG though.
