define best.

Personally I find it close to the most fun gun to use in campaign, with needler a close second, but in terms of utility and power the M6D wins hands down.

Bungie Pentathlon - who actually cares ?

(I know the OP isnt complaining) but I mentioned that in the Halo 3 forum people really do complain and whinge about the AR in H3 MM, yet some of these people have played Halo CE.

My point is that I have checked previous threads etc in the Halo CE forum archive and never once seen a thread saying the AR is "nooby" or how it should be banned from matchmaking / multiplayer....just shows the gulf of opinion from Halo CE to Halo 3....most of the hatred is directed to the AR because of BR enthusiasts get gunned down every now and then.

I dont understand why all of a sudden using an AR is considered poor? the AR has always been a great weapon to use, but same as every weapon, providing you know how to use it.....

Just message me on live.

The pistol and sniper are.

It's fun to use, granted, but it just isn't that useful in most situations.

In close-range it can do some damage, but the Pistol and Shotgun and Plasma Rifle are all better suited to close-range-medium range.

For instance, the AR has the least stopping power of the 4(see above), and each of those weapons can consistently take out at least 3 Combat Forms in one clip/overheat, while the AR's poor accuracy make it less effective.


Anyways, done with that. People complain about the AR in Halo 3 because it's effective.

Beauty is not subjective. Anyone who says otherwise is an idiot.
Prove me wrong.
I dare you.
My logic is undeniable.

I don't like the way the AR sounds when you fire it. It was better in Halo CE.

Pretty much, I think it is elite-ism gone mad. Back to Halo CE I loved the AR as it had the ability to fill the air with bullets and give some good support fire, but as y ou said its as useful as a chocolate teapot in most scenarios....

Anybody ever try to wring all the performance out of the AR? Talking legendary- it's really easy to take down blue, and even red, elites by hosing them with bullets, dodging their melee lunges and smacking them in return. This works best -up close- like PoA.
It's not the best weapon or the most powerful. It is a lot more versatile than people give credit. You just have to be patient.

Steccato-fire is your friend in Legendary. You save ammunition, and prevent Elites from recharging their shields.

Yep, looks good, sounds good....I do find playing with a team mate on Legendary and taking down an Elite (or an other enemy) using combined and controlled fire/tactics very rewarding:

Player 1 charges plasma pistol and goes to the side
Player 2 M6D's the Elite in the head to get his attention
Player 1 lets rip wit hthe overcharged plasma, shields go down
Player 2 caps the Elite....

Or if you are playing with my dear older brother

Player 1 charges plasma pistol and goes to the side
Player 2 attempts to M6D the Elite in the head to get his attention, misses and all hell breaks loose, in the process managing to rouse every enemy on the map
Player 1 changes weapon to assist team mate, groans and waits for the inevitable
Player 2 dies in a hail of plasma and mis-directed gun fire

Sorry I didn't mean to digress on this one....

Correct in the sense that

Scorpion tank = frying pan
Banshee = Uranium powered pencil sharpener

Giant doughnut...how did you come to that conclusion? Just curious....do you mean if the AR was used in small bursts ? or else ?

Doc: "i'm a pacifist"
Caboose: "your a thing that babies suck on?"
Tucker: "no dude, that's a pedephile"
Church: "tucker, i think he means a pacifier"

The origional AR was more of a bullet hos than it should have been, and while fun wasn't all that usefull. The only time I ever favored one was against flood infection forms. My prefered combo was a pistol and a shotty. Could take anything from hunters to snipers.

In response to a comment made earlier about people on the H3 forum saying the AR is a noob weapon and how that isn't said here, there is nothing in Halo CE that fills the role of the BR, so that arguement doesn't really exist.

maybe not the best, but certainly better than halo 3s. 60 rounds of hard hitting, fully automatic awesomesauce. I think that it is one of the greatest guns ever in a game. just think if the halo CE assault rifle was in halo 3

Yeah. All the BR whiners would finally shut up, and there would be another aaaaaaalmost-useful gun in the game.
