even with the new BR, i find it impossible that bungie could exclude what was basically your primary weapon throughout the entire single player campaign of halo. i love the new BR, but its hardly a replacement for my round spewing AR.

Uh, the SMG effectively replaces the AR, which I loved. It's got a 60 round clip, and you can use two at once. That's 120 rounds of pure destruction.

i know i know, but its just not the same. the smg is too small to REPLACE the AR. it is a nice addition though.

i would have to dis agree because about the smg replacing the AR i woudl have to say that the smg replaced the pistol and the BR replaced the AR, if u didnt notice the BR shoots 3 round burst and it has a scope, EVEN BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

if you are going to say that weapons replace weapons......

the battlerifle replaces the PISTOL, has same ammo, shoots single round bursts, and has nearly the same potency

the SMG replaces the AR, both are fully automatic, and spray destruction in their path

even though the battlerifle LOOKS like the AR, their roles are not even close to being the same

I hope the AR returns and that it is alittle more powerful than the SMG (seeing as you cant dual wield it)

1SMG vs. 1AR = AR wins
2SMGs vs. AR = SMG wins

Also I thought it would be cool if when you press the left trigger while wielding a new AR, It would fire the grenade much more pressurised like a grenade launcher rather than a lob like the normal grenades and you have to reload the grenade drum after using the grenade function as a balance.

Ermm. the needler was also pretty pointless (in multiplayer) but they tweaked it to work in Halo2. Why not fix the ARs problems for Halo2 aswell?

cause the SMG already has taken the AR's role, why have two for the same purpose?

I thought that the AR was a great weapon, you just needed to know how and when to use it.

The AR is my favorite weapon in Halo. Sure, others are more effective in certain situations but the AR is just plain deadly in the hands of a master. Beating Legendary with the AR as your primary weapon is no easy task, but well worth it.

sorry ash55, but if you ask me, I'd say that there will not be an AR in halo2, once you play I think you'll see why, and probably be happy that the smg will be more accurate and funner to play with.

I think it depends on your stratergies cos if you snipe then the BR or Pistol would be the best (apart from the sniper rifle obviuosly).
If you like long-medium to medium-short then the AR would be best.
And if like me you like medium-short and point-blank range then 2xSMG or the ShotG wolud be best.

Because they could make the AR more powerful so you have to choose
A) An smg thats weak but VERY powerful when dual wielded or
B) An AR thats average and has a handy grenade launcher attached.

They have the Battle Rifle and Carbine and they basically do the same job right? So why not have 2 similar weapons but slighty different for strategy?

Doesnt anyone get my point? I know the AR might not return! But Im just saying that it should and be reworked for Halo2 so thats its different and offers something different than the SMG.

Also, it may well return because someone quoted that bungie said that all weapons return but are being given new features. IE The rocket launcher has returned and it now has target tracking so you never know...

Nobody has played all of Halo2 except bungie. Bungie are not showing all of the weapons until november 9th so what you just said is incredibly uneducated.
