I have only ever written into a forum twice, but I read them all the time on this greatest game being developed. I will from now on only write when I have to express something I think is important. I know alot of people are complaining about the AR not being in the sequel and people are getting sick of it. But I think it should really be considered by bungie. After looking at the SMG, it seems so small for a machine gun u just want to come in and absolutely pulverise 4 or 5 convenent m.f.'s at once with. Quote that, for real. If u look at any of the screenshots with masterchief holding and aiming the SMG, it looks so small and weak compared to him. I think alot of people will agree. The BR on the other hand looks good but could look better. Plus, its such a single shot rifle type of weapon (even though it has a 3 shot refire rate). It just doesnt have that "rat-tat-tat-tat" kind of effect. It is more a Rainbow Six 3 kind of weapon, a SWAT weapon. I used the AR alot in Halo and sometimes did get sick of it, actually, I got sick of it alot! I wished there was another bad ass marine submachine gun in the game, because I wasnt a huge fan of using plasma "science fiction, lazer guns". I love the "real military, bullet blazing weapons". It gives u a sense of realness and makes u feel like a Rambo type of soldier (Even though the Master Chief is our man, not Sylvester Stallone). Also, using the AR in Halo 2 would be like reuniteng with an old friend or comrade so to speak. Because many of us did become very Attached to it. Shoot, we had to, our lives depended on it. With this AR, we honed our skills over and over and over again for 2 years playing our favourite game, which isnt a game, its an escape from the real world. I wish someone from bungie read my post, because I would hate to get sick of using only one badass machine gun for a huge game like Halo 2 for years to come. Because we all know that this game will be even 10 times more replayable than Halo 1 and I have beaten it 6 times start to finish and I always go back to play selected levels for quick games. Tell me what you think? Also, bots need to be in the game, no question.
