I don’t know what more there is to say. This design… this is what the Battle Rifle should’ve always been, since Halo 4. The BR85 just isn’t the same as the classic Battle Rifle from Halo 2 and Halo 3… the BR in Halo 5 actually uses the same firing sounds as the M16A4 in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, can you believe that? We’ve seen that they are returning to the classic art style with both the Marines and Master Chief in the Halo: Infinite trailer; but sadly, the Marines in the trailer are still using the Halo 5 BR if you look closely.
However, Halo: Infinite is likely still in a very early stage of development, which means they have plenty of time to give the Battle Rifle and it’s fans the respect they deserve. This fan-made Battle Rifle design is exactly what Halo: Infinite needs; 343i, I implore you to get in contact with the artist, and make it happen.
I don’t necessarily prefer the 343i BR over the Bungie one, but I understand the direction and motive behind the redesign and I think they should keep heading in that direction. The H2 BR design is very dated. For the time it looked great, but it looks like an old gun.
One thing I hate about the H2 BR is the way it curves up on the foregrip. and the way the sight rail curves at the front of the rifle. I have a preference for sharp clean angles, and the H2 BR is just too curvy and soft looking. It almost looks cheap because of that. it’s too early 2000’s. that rendition seems to play on a lot of what I disliked about the H2 BR and while it looks great, I naturally dislike it.
If 343i could make the gun black, and use blue as it always was instead of orange for the displays, then that’s when we’d see a good BR. the gray color yellow stripe makes the gun look like a toy. if they could also use perhaps the sound of a .308 cartridge rather than the .223 that they used, then it’d sound great.
Lmao, if the Elites are 8’6" , why not use at least a .308 instead of a puny .223?
That render looks really cool. As someone else stated the sound is also important. For instance I didn’t like Halo 4’s BR sound compared to Halo 2 or Halo 3.
That looks really sweet and would go perfectly with the art style they showed in the demo. I personally like the design of the BR85 and used to like the way it worked before the updates, but I would hands-down choose this if given a choice.

Oh yeah, Halo 4’s Battle Rifle sounded terrible. I don’t know what they were thinking. The Halo 2: Anniversary BR sounds awesome, those are the sound effects I would use.

For real though, I don’t think there’s anything H2A didn’t do perfectly well from a visual and audio perspective. Everything looks and sounds “Halo” in the sense that it feels unique to the universe it’s a part of.
great design. in case anyone doesn’t know this is the model being used for the fan game project contingency and they’ve got a lot of amazing designs I think 343 could learn from. assault rifle plasma rifle and beam rifle spnkr smg grizzly
This idea was cut but still looks cool spike rifle
and finally energy sword
If they still go for their own style thing on the weapons and all I’m okay with it as long as I get my classic Halo weapons back.
H2 BR and bruteshot, CE plasmapistol, plasmarifle, shotgun and magnum.
I totally support this! What a magnificent design!
I love the art style mix for that BR because it really brings the best of both worlds. Looks like a Halo br but with some feats from the new one.
As long as the BR looks similar to the old ones, and actually sounds like a BR, I couldn’t care less. Now, how it preforms on the other hand is a different story…
