Fairly quick melee and great for taking out groups of people in your way, I love it.

I love the AR it is great close range (especially agaisnt grunts and jackals and mini flood) but i find that if you know how to use it it can still be effective at medium-long range in single shots and 3 round bursts.

It is by far the best against the flood infection forms.

The AR was good against jackals the flood and grunts and extremly close range I used shotguns/sniper rifles against elites I am biased toward human weapons

It's a good weapn if you know how to use it. I'll have to admit though, it does suck badly when used in long range combat. It is good to knock out a sniper's scope though.

Weapon combos will see you clean up legandary quick smart. Plasma works best at taking out shields and bullets better for flesh... So Plasma Assault rifle takes of shield then switch to Assualt rifle.

I think the AR in HALO was made poorly considering it functions more like a bul-pup SMG rather than a bul-pup Assault Rifle. I personaly know alot about firearms and the AR would never make it past US military weapon tests.

It is a SMG (Sub-Machine Gun), no matter how you look at it. AR (Assualt-Rifles) need longer barrels and better rifling groves for longer distance performance.

Me: "OMFG, Dude... wtf!"
AbolitionofMan: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to betray you."
Me: "That's the 4th time in this game alone!"
Chris: "Third, besides he had the flag I was trying to stop him, how was I supposed to know you were there."
Me: "I said, 'I got the Flag, don't shoot.'"
Chris: "Well those Wraith shots take a while to reach you."
Me: "You were right next to me, I had killed him and a minute passed before you decided to shoot."
Chris: "Hahahahaha, yeah... that was great."

Very true; however, if you're not to far from the sniper and he/she is a good one, then they don't need the scope to put a round through your head.

AR is a good weapon, I know how to use it effectively, but I voted no as I can find much better weapons to mop up any threat I have.

The AR is a great weapon. Awesome in multiplayer close-mid range. It'll tear someone to pieces in close range, and good enough to take out their shields from mid distance. All the weapons in Halo MP are awesome, except the needler. Damn that weapon sucks.

Good for close range. Second best with my opinion. Bested only by the SR. Shotgun and face to face? BACK UP LIKE HELL AND THEN YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO TAKE HIM. Halo 2 is going to rock! I get two of those things! Yeah!
