If you read Bungie's strategy on th AR, they pretty much say it sucks. So the BR rocks. I already love it.

Dude none of us have actually used the BR in play, but as far as speculation goes, I'd say the BR will be much cooler and better than the old crappy AR...however, when playing multi against noobs, most noobs will only use the AR and since it sucks, its easy to win...but I guess its always easy to win against noobs so the BR is still the best (so far, I'll wait to play with it before im positive its better)

Like everyone has stated, we havn't used the Battle Rifle. However, it looks much more powerful, accurate, and useful. I could be wrong, but it's pretty hard to compare both since we haven't heard of the Assault Rifle being in Halo 2 and havn't seen it in gameplay footage.

BR.

i don't think the assualt rifle has more power. the BR has a smaller clip, for one, so that usually inplys a larger calibar round, which means more power.

If you read the Halo: First Strike book the BR is a lot more powerful that the old AR and to boot on the 8 minute demo the BR looks like it can take care of the job much better. On the looks and sound stage the BR seems a lot cooler, personally i didn't really like the old AR, more ammo but less power, so ya. Im looking forward to getting my hands on the BR to really see just how good it is.
