==Pre-Halo 2 Information==
==Pre-Halo 2 Information==
I've has this lingering thought in the back of my mind and now I've finally got a place to ask about it! Is it just me, or did the pre-Halo 2 reports state the battle rifle would be able to shoot a single bullet ''or'' a three-shot burst? Or am I crazy? lol. Please eleviate my concerns about my mental health on my talk page, Thanks :) -- [[User:Manticore|<b><span style="color: black">Manticore</span></b>]] [[File:Fleet Admiral.jpg|25px]] [[User talk:Manticore|<sup><span style="color: black">Talk</span></sup>]]<sup> | </sup>[[Special:Contributions/Manticore|<sup><span style="color: black">CSV</span></sup>]] 14:52, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

:I think it was fixed in semi-auto at first, then changed to burst when not zoomed and shoot semi-automatic when zoomed. Not sure, though. -[[User:AK|AK]] 18:49, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

The weapons in Halo Online actually have classifications in it, and the BR we thought was the BR85 was actually the BR55. Or a variant of it. Should we adjust the article here to suit this. - [[User:CIA391|CIA391]] ([[User talk:CIA391|talk]]) 21:34, 19 November 2015 (GMT)

:No, it's just a variant of BR85HB. It's a mistake on their side (the game is outsourced), they refer to all the BR's variants as to BR55-something, even the plain unmodified BR85 is called BR55 in game. Although, there is a real BR55 model with a custom skin as a reward for Beta-testers who bought premium packs.

==BR55 Pioneer==
Is this considered a separate variant? Isn't "Pioneer" just it's skin's nickname like the other special weapons' variants in Halo Online? And what about the fact that the game was on Beta before it's delay? Is it still considered Canon? - [[User:PatrickRus|PatrickRus]] ([[User talk:PatrickRus|talk]]) 13:29, 2 March 2016 (EST)
:The Beta actually treated the weapon as its own variant with different stats to other BR's. Plus there is no way to prove that its a skin or not unless Halo Online comes out with a normal BR55. So its best to keep it like it is so their isn't any confusion.
:Also all "Special" weapons arnt just skins. They do do different things.
:Regardless I will start adding a note saying that because this is beta content. The full game or canon designation might be different. If you want to help just take the note I added after my post and put it in. - [[User:CIA391|CIA391]] ([[User talk:CIA391|talk]]) 18:38, 2 March 2016 (GMT)
::Well, it was different compared to other BRs, because those were BR85HB variants. It was also called "Master Chief's rifle from Halo 2: Anniversary" on the pre-order page. Anyway, I won't interfere with your edits on that. - [[User:PatrickRus|PatrickRus]] ([[User talk:PatrickRus|talk]]) 13:53, 2 March 2016 (EST)
<ref name="Beta note" group="note">Weapon designations in games during their Alpha and Beta builds often differ from their given canon designations once game development has been completed. Therefore, this is not a reliable source. However, as the only source available it should be taken as canon until a more official source gives the weapon its designation.</ref>
