Battle Rifle, Halo series

I’ve been singing the BR’s praises since I first got into Halo back in the aughts, and I will continue to sing them now. The Halo franchise was perhaps the most-frequently named when I asked the denizens of X to tell me their favorite weapons, and that’s a testament to just how good Bungie and 343 Industries are at designing gunplay. But the battle rifle will always be my baby, even though it’s had a rocky history in the franchise (after its reveal in Halo 2, it quickly became a massive point of contention amongst gamers who preferred it to the assault rifle, or vice versa). Team SWAT match when?
