The same Halo 3 AR.
Seriously, that gun single handedly put thousands of players off the game, ruined Lone Wolves, and has encouraged a whole new generation of spraying and praying rushers.
Of course, the biggest cause of this is that it's the starting weapon - which of course needs to change. I can see the game (even Halo 3 in its current state) balancing out nicely if the AR was just another weapon placed on the map rather than spawning with it.
Hopefully Bungie will introduce a weapon with a range in between the AR and BR, decent accuracy and semi-automatic, but not as accurate as the BR. That would be the perfect starting weapon tbh. No rushing encouraging, no spraying and praying, but not being instantly disadvantaged at spawn.
Odd, as it was Halo2's inclusion of the BR and loss of the AR that brought the game to where it is now, a breeding ground for the hyper competitive. That group of people have shaped Halo3's playlist weakness's by playing nothing other than slayer variants, and why? Because the BR makes slayer easy as pie, why play anything else, you don't need to think tactically. Just shoot the other guy from range and and spawn trap. An AR actucally forces you to play the game, not just sit back and shoot someone.
