I personally liked the Battle Rifle better because was more accurate,but the Assault Rifle sounds freakin' awesome.

With the way both campaigns worked out, I've found that (specification wise) the Battle Rifle is better suited in Halo 1, whereas The Assault Rifle is better for Halo 2, because of the different sizes of the levels.

It depends entirely on the situation. There is no gun that is perfect for every encounter.

Although the AR is a great gun, the BR owns it in strength and accuracy.

The weapons belong perfectly fine in their respective games. The pistol performed the role of the BR in Halo 1 and the SMG performed the role of the AR in Halo 2.
now that i think about it,yur right.youre more up close in halo 2.Yeah the duel wielding probably took the campaign down that course.

To answer the question I don't see how you can compare two radically different guns to begin with but personally I would go with the BR because of it's versatility.

up til yesterday i wouldve said AR hands down, but taking a new look at the BR i realize it's way better in general. ammo capacity sucks next to AR though...

You miss the point of my post by mentioning other weapons.

  • 07.18.2007 1:38 AM PDT

1.Arkham Asylum, 2.Mass Effect, 3.Halo CE, 4.Mass Effect 2, 5.Halo 2, 6.Splinter Cell Double Agent, 7.Gears of War 2, 8.Medievil, 9.Oblivion, 10.Crash Team Racing

AR is my favorite weapon ever. BR is the new pistol, which is bit boring but its better than AR. I guess i use AR, Carbine and Needlers most in Halo3

Covenant Carbine and M6D Pistol completely dominates both of them, especially the M6D Pistol.

I personally dont like either much, in Halo CE the Assault rifle was basiclly useless compared to the Pistol, Sniper, or Shotgun, in Halo 2 many things owned the BR, im not saying its bad, but the BR isnt the best weapon IMO, sniper is better, shotgun owns it up close, dual magnums kill a BR wielder very fast (they also kill elites quicker), PP + melee also beats a BR, and the Carbine is better to, cause it has more range and is better against the flood.

The Battle Rifle isn't even comparable to the Assault Rifle, the Assault Rifle is comparable to the SMG, and the M6D pistol is comparable to the Battle Rifle.

Thar's Gold In Them Thar Hills !

Halo combat evolved Assualt rifle, loved it, Halo 2 morned the death of the Assualt rifle and cursed bungie, forced to play with battle rifle. After playing halo then halo 2 withen ten min I loved the battle rifle for some reason, because of the one shot one kill with the grunts instead of hiting them with ten shots, so I think that I will, use the battle rifle in halo 3, weird? I think so.

  • 07.20.2007 8:52 AM PDT

The old assault rifle made me feel like a big man!

  • 07.20.2007 9:00 AM PDT

I prefer the AR because of the larger clip size, also because it's not semi-automatic.

  • 07.20.2007 1:27 PM PDT

They mostly come out at night... mostly...

*sigh* the pistol in HaloCE was so wonderful. Nothing like having fans wait years in hopes that it will return only to get shafted.

You do realize that the battle rifle is the spiritual successor to the pistol, don't you?

Anyway, I love my battle rifle and I always chose it over the assault rifle in the Halo 3 beta.
