Although not absolute in my vote, it does say in FS that the batlle rifle is a modified verision of the assault rifle. But that does not mean all of the assualt rifles are gone

i think that either the SMG or the battle rifle will replace the AR. with good reason, too.

Just take a look at the E3'04 demo, same crosshair as AR, same amount of Ammo, and if the AR is still in Halo 2, i'll have to complain. I liekd it in H1, but its not neccessary at all in H2 with dual wileding

well they also said that the battle rifle was the new version of the pistol...and some think the assault rifle.. so maybe we will get a 2 in 1. u gotta remember that unzoomed fires 3 burst shots and zoomed fires 1

Bungie made the Assault Rifle (now SMG) dual wieldable to compensate for it's extreme suckiness in Halo. The pistol, on the other hand, was changed into a rifle and it's clip size increased, while it's power decreased.

Crystal clear, no?

assault riflers only use the assault rifles because they die before they can get the shotgun or the pistol:) really now...let it go! it's not going to be in there. there will be bigger and better things out there in halo 2. the only times i really use it are when we start out with gimp greens (plasma pistols) and spawn in the green room in damnation, or in campaign. other than that...the AR can suck it. sorry if i offended anyone, it had to be said.

well i hate to say but the assault rifle is probably going to be gone. However, i do disagree that it sucked in halo:CE. It certainly wasn't a noob friendly weapon like the RL or the shotgun. But used in the right situations, it like every other gun in the game had it's mertis, It can kill a shotgun weilder, if you keep a bit of distance between you and him, and have a steady aim. With a lot of strafing and counter strafing, it can take out pistols users at close range. And the only downside to the gun is that it's clip was about 25% too small. But if the SMG works the same way as the AR worked in halo:CE. It will by far be a formitable match up when dual weilded, you can kill twice as fast as you could with it in halo:CE with twice the clip size, meaning we'll most likely see more double kills,tripple kills , and killtaculars with this type of weapon in the sequel.

In a gametype with no shields, if there is no pistol available then the AR is by far my first choice.

assult rifle = SMG

they have the same aimer thingy

pistol = battle rifle

becuase of the good accuracy impiled by the amier and its zooms


hmmm thoughts...there has to be a new human pistol

battle rifle = covenant carbine
smg = plasma rifle
?new pistol? = plasma pistol

hmmm....interesting....i never really belived that a pistol would be created because i belived that the battle rilfe took tis spot, but with my new discovery (if you've already thought of this or stated it i don't care, i never heard it!) i think that a new pistol is possible!

the assault rilfe was an amazing weapon, its so fun to play co-op on legendary and not use any of the extremly powerful weapons such as the sniper rifle or rocket launcher, and just rush elite and watch them stumble and twich as the double assault rifle barrage busts through their shield and hits their flesh! I love rushing, in my opinion it takes more skill to stay alive rushing in legendary than it does to snipe.

SORRY FOR DOUBLE POSTING!

bungie has said that the assault rifle is in the game, but it has just had a few ajustments, like the scope and the silencer in think they said, but it is definately in there!

Silencer?
1.Its a war, there going to lots of noise. Just a waste of extra metal.
2.If your talking about the Battle Rifle, then no there isnt one, heck its louder then the AR.

The pistols new counterpart in Halo 2 will not be the Battle Rifle but a new, less newbie friendly weapon named the Magnum Pistol. It still has the 2x zoom, and is more powerful, but it has a smaller clip and is innacurate if you hold down the trigger.Kalmah you were right when you said there is going to be a new pistol.
