Anyone feel the new Battle Rifle is a little...wimpy? No doubt powerful, and an effective tactical wepaon with it's semi-auto function and scope, but...anyone feel they should keep the classic Assault Rifle?


[color=pink] Man, why would you want to keep the assault rile when the SMG's are the exact same just smaller clips. But watch this, are you watching, you double weild them and BAM, better than the assault rifle. [/color]

I seriously hope the Battle Rifle and Submachine gun are added, not replacements. I mean, they both seem useful and fun, but I loved the assault rifle. Such fun plowing through a pack of grunts with 60 7.52 mm shells that can hit multiple guys. I like variety.

I think that all of the original weapons should be included along with all of the new weapons so it can be a better gaming experience for everyone. I can't wait before I can work my sniping skills out on some grunt's face. It would be cool if you could see them take damage, so that you could shoot it's head, and walk up to it to see a big bullet hole in it's noggin. Just a thought...

I voted to get rid of the AR because if you want something that can spray lead to back up the BR get youself an SMG

MARK 2 SPARTAN HAS SPOKEN!!!

There's no reason to include the MA5B in Halo 2. The SMG has almost the same function.
The Battle Rifle also has the 3 round burst when unzoomed. That plus it's stronger shots will give it some close range power. It also replaces the M6D pistol from Halo with the zoom.

But another human pistol does look likely, as a "magnum" pistol is described in First Strike that fires slugs the size of a SPARTAN's thumb and is barrel-heavy when unloaded, but perfectly balanced when loaded.

The BR will whup anything they have. The AR isn't fit to be a hole puncher. You can stand three feet away from a grunt and spray lead at him and you would have to stand there until christmas before he noticed you. The battle rifle, well, that thing is like a sniper rifle, assault rifle, and the pistol. I think they added the other guns just so the BR wouldn't be lonely. Good bye past, hello bloody, grunt paste.

The AR should be gone. No offense to those of you who liked it, but it sucked ass against shields. The pistol should be coming back. That was an awesome weapon. Besides, the SMG basically replaces the AR, there isn't much difference. Except that now you can hold two. The BR is gonna kick.

The BR looks awesome, and the AR was really really really
bad. It had it's moments, like one time in MP when I rushed
a guy pumping every round into him, then finishing him with
a melee, but the SMGs will serve the same pupose with
flashy melee combos to finish your opponent. I say lose the
crappy AR.

  • 06.08.2004 9:35 PM PDT

I'll be on my own side.

well im pretty sure that the Master Chief will have the old Assault Rifle in the very first mission because i dont think that there was a Battle Rifle in that Longsword at the end of Halo,and he probably gets it along with his new MJOLNIR Mark VI armor

Nedus has a good point, but if you watch the first trailer where he jumps out of the ship onto the covenant ship when he picks up the weapons from the gun rack, its a Battle rifle, not an AR, just thought id add that observation

dude the AR is crap, i only used it in single player when i ran out of shotgun ammo, and only used teh AR in multiplayer when the shotgun was taken or if i was playing wizard lol, anyway, if the AR is in Halo 2 and i highly doubt it is, then myself and many other people wont even bother picking it up, BR is better, simple as that AR is obsolete

[color=green]The Announcement trailer wasn't in a longsword, longswords don't have that much room in them. It's pretty much a jet w/ a cargo bay not a huge ship with an elevator in it. But since they are in Africa doesn't mean they are poor. Poor describes hobo's, out of resources describes the situation Earth is in in Halo 2. =)

[For starters the BR is not a new weapon. In the Halo 2 Announcement Trailer the longsword MC arives at Earth in has stockpiles of them and i dont think MC manufactured them on the way.
Secondly POOR???? just because of the geographical location happening to be Africa....i dont know where to start tearing that appart, remember the whole bit about the inter galactic space empire? sound poor to you? As far as we know thats not the UNSC headquarters anyway.

The Battle Rifle has far better accuracy than the Assault Rifle. It will probably have better accuracy than the pistol and much more power. The SMGs are bullit hoses and using two at a time at close range it more than enough to replace the assault rifle on rapid fire. In all reality, the AR is a close range weapon. The BR has fa more range than AR and more power. Even though I voted yes, I may not even use it.

I say... out with the AR, in with the dual SMG's and the Battle Rifle.
The AR sucks. Ass. Give it up.
