That was the replacement? Its very different. The battle rifle has nearly a 6th of Halo ce's assault rifle max ammo capabilities. The battle rifle is semi automatic, unlike the assault rifle. The battle rifle has scope capabilities, unlike the assault rifle.

The Battle Riflfe in Halo 2 seems to be a cross between the pistol and the assault rifle, it has the ammo capacity of the rifle and the power of the pistol

Suffice to say that sometime, a moderator is going to end this account permenantly.

They felt that the weapons weren't acting like they were supposed to. They had a pistol that acted more like a rifle and a rifle that acted more like a submachine gun. They felt more satisfied with a pistol that acts like a pistol, a rifle that acts like a rifle, and a submachine gun that acts like a submachine gun. Yes, they may have screwed up the execution of this idea, but it's still a valid idea.

At least that's what Bungie says in this "The Art of Halo" book I've got.
