The AR better be in halo 2, it's my favorite close range weapon.

I don't think the Assault Rifle will make it. They've said that it will be modified, to the Battle Rifle, which is how it was in the book series as well. It will have less ammo, but will be more accurate and more powerful.

There is no way that Bungie would do away with the AR. If your thinking about it in just game terms it might seem like they could but Halo is more then just the game its also a living world. If Bungie was going to take the AR out they would have to have a story to go with that. So unless they can somehow say that all the ARs issued to marines were called back and replaced by BRs it wont happen. Another thing is that i hope that they would think about all the fans who like the AR (there is nothing like ripping into a pack of grunts with it).

The AR is in Halo 2. If you've ever seen the Halo 2 Multiplayer pic where it is light grey everywhere, and there are players on top of a wall, you can see it. There is a guy that got blown up by a grenade, and he is in the air. You can see the AR falling next to some Plasma Grenades and a Needler. It looks a lot different, but better. You can see the pic here... http://www.bungie.net/images/Games/Halo2/screenshots/h2_mp_02 .jpg

Actually, compare the end of the gun sticking out (on the screenshot Blaze refered to) to the end of the gun being held by the MC on the very left of the screen.....that's a battle rifle falling, not an assault rifle

I'm wanting the option of both the AR and BR. Like if you could take off the scope or something. Anyway the AR should stay.

Sorry boys but u are all still dum, unintellegent, non-bungie designer-grade material (sorry but that just had to be said...) Here are the facts kids;

1) The AR is S**T.
2) The AR is the S**TYEST weapons in the wonderful land of halo.
3) Only a rookie will handle a AR and praise such a (insert bad word) weapon.
4) Halo 2 will NOT feature the M6D Pistol and MA5B Assault Rifle. HOWEVER, the M6D Pistol (the best overall weapon in Halo, a Master's prefered choice) will be replaced by a fully automatic battle rifle which has 40 bullets per clip that can be pumped into a little crying rookie's skull with a fast rate and with wicked accuracy using the 2x zoom scope (just as my beloved Pistol had). Although I will miss my sexy pistol, it will be replaced by an even sexier gun that has a lot more personality! NOW, as for the AR. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! (Wiping away a tear). The AR is the weakest gun in Halo, it misses a target that is sucking on the end of the barrel (don't even try to dis my aim because I have mastered every weapon in Halo and can knock your brain out of your head with the Pistol before you even know you were born), it is no match for a super weapon like the Pistol (you take away a teeney-weeney bit of my energy-shield, I get a 3-shot headshot and then kick your corpse repeatedly). Now, kids, why are you yearning for such a (insert another bad word) weapon. Why miss the ************ ************* *** ******** *** AR when you will have the SMG (Sub-Machine Gun) that I have to say only has 40 bullets per clip but it is PURE KILLER, not to mention that you can arm yourself with 2 SMG's at once and that you can have tons of friends with you who can all arm themselves with SMGs and together, fire about 10 trillion bullets into a single enemy.

Look, I'm just saying that why miss such a bad weapon?

Also, I want to work at bungie in future (seriously) and you need to understand the the key to good gameplay is balance. In Halo, there are weapons and special weapons (eg Rk and Sp rifle). However the AR is too weak. It needed a revamp: the SMG

Sorry for offending.

The Assault Rifle yes, the levels no... Most levels were too simple for my tastes.... Now, if they made maps like Blood Gulch have a deeper canyon and longer with better bases for each side then I would say yes.... Also more caves and stuff....

  • 04.20.2004 5:13 AM PDT

bah

I'll wager with using only the assult rifle, I can easily beat Halo on Legendary. Oh wait, I already have. The assult rifle totally kicks ass. It penetrates bad guys, so it's good to use on Grunts and Flood. granted, with the new battle Rifle, I'd never touch the MA5B if I had a choice, but it's still a great gun. Don't bash the gun.

New multiplayer levels, maybe one or two old ones. And replace the pistol with the one mentioned in the First Strike. Assault Rifle replaced by BR and SMGs.

First: MP levels returning in H2 would SERIOUSLY kick ass.

Second: Sikh Dragon, you need to get your priorities straight. First, the AR IS crap on it's own. Paired with a plasma weapon, however, it can be seriously damaging. Try it sometime. Also, who says the M6D isn't returning? Sure, the BR is the seamless blend of both AR and M6D, but that doesn't mean the standard-issue weapon of the entire frikkin Marine arsenal isn't gonna up and dissappear from the face of the planet. Literally.

Need tah open your mind a bit before spouting out the uselessness of weapons in halo that MILLIONS have already come to know and love.

And THIRD: we ALL want to be Bungie employees someday.

Sikh Dragon - don't bash the AR, in the right hands it's a very powerful weapon. Kill a couple of marines and watch them pound the crud out of you with just an AR.

If you are having problems with the accuracy of the AR shoot in short bursts rather than holding the trigger.

You mentioned that good game designers have to "balance" a game - If you ever want to become a designer a Bungie you should recognise that the AR is less accurate BECAUSE it is so strong... it's balanced.
