BR55 battle rifle: Difference between revisions

Line 32: Line 32:
The Battle Rifle was not featured in [[Halo 1]] but was created for [[Halo 2]]. It was designed to replace the [[Pistol]] from the original game; this was because the developers felt that the pistol was overbalanced for a weapon of such a small size (and just in general, as compared to the other weapons in the game).

The "BR" was originaly designed by Bungie to fire single shots in semi-automatic rates of fire, but the idea was apparently used instead for the Covenant [[Carbine]]. Another idea the developers were working on was a three bullet minimum per burst, and holding the trigger resulted in full auto. Zoomed in, the rifle only shot a single bullet. However, these features were ultimately scraped in favor of the more simplistic design that was used in the final version of Halo 2.

The Battle Rifle will be returning in [[Halo 3]]. The screenshot above shows that the "new" Battle Rifle has a longer barrel, and it is widely speculated that this is a silencer.
