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 Battle Rifle was not featured in [[Halo 1]] but was created for [[Halo 2]].

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 "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]]. | ||

The Battle Rifle will be returning in [[Halo 3]].
