In general I really don’t like the new look. At first glance, it looks like the AR which it shouldn’t. Every weapon in Halo has it’s own unique look. The BR should look like the BR, not a cross between the BR and the AR. I also feel it looks too futuristic compared to all other Halo weapons. I realize that sounds silly when it’s 500+ years in the future but it just seems too drastic of a change from a somewhat realistic looking weapon to a boxy, future weapon.
