Subject: No Assault Rifle in ODST??? FTW?

S.O.I. 09' --Move among the shadows, and strike when the time is perfect. Make it clean, make it quick, make it out.-- Shadow Of Intent Clan URL - Shadowofintent.tk

I'm not sure if they didn't just throw it in the demo or in any of the trailers, but I didn't see a AR in either. Are they going back to basic? No AR? That would be a major let down, the SMG is a good weapon, I prefer it over the AR, too. But the AR has a feeling that seperates Halo from any other game, it gives the game muscle. I like seeing the first AR come in, it had a larger clip and was more powerful, so maybe it could contend to the SMG. What do you think?

The two AR's from CE and 3 are two completely different guns.

You obviously didn't watch the trailers...

I'm right 97% of the time. Who cares about the other 4%?

I'm sure the AR will be available in the flashback sequences, but I doubt you'd want one while wandering through the city as the Rookie. It's not sound suppressed, unlike the new SMG, so using one would attract more attention toward you.

in the picture with all the ODSTs standing together you can see one of them holding an assault rifle.....

  • 06.12.2009 11:37 AM PDT

Hey! Listen! HEY!- The words of Navi

There was a pic of a character holding one.

Having no BR is ftw for me.

There will be a assault rifle in halo odst. You'll probobly get one during one of buck's flashbacks.

First of all, well, based on the couple of people above me, yes there will be an AR.

Second of all, back to basic, which I'm assuming is Halo: Combat Evolved since it was the first of the Halo series, would mean it would still have an AR.

Why? Both the MA5B and the MA5C are pretty effective weapons against both Elites/Brutes, Jackals, and Grunts (especially Grunts). Even though I prefer the BR, getting rid of the AR would be a horrible move on Bungie's behalf since the SMG in Halo 3 is weaker than the one in Halo 2, though the M7S looks about as deadly as the new M6C/SOCOM.

The Assault Rifle was replaced by a better automatic machine gun; you're crying about it? >.>

The SMG is, in my opinion, 10 times better than the AR. The AR has a small clip, no long range potential, and many other faults. The SMG, on the other hand, has a huge clip, semi-long range capabilities, will have a scope and a silencer .

Look at the facts, people. The SMG is an amazing gun. They both can use a low amount of shots to weaken people enough to beat them down. That's good. Yet, the SMG has many more valuable assets.

You're complaining that an ok weapon is being replaced by a similar one which is 10 times better.

Get over it. You can do everything you can with an AR, but better - so why are you mad?

The SMG in Halo 3 has a shorter effective range then the AR. It's effective at close to close-mid range, but that's about as far as you'll be able to use it to much effect. AR is close to mid range. And the SMG has a tremendous kick up. This, combined with it's faster RoF, means that it is better meant for close combat. They both have their uses.

In ODST, the spread (and presumably kick up) will be reduced due to the silencer, and it'll have a scope. In this case, yea, there's probably little reason to use the AR, but that's not the case in Halo 3.

from what i hear in odst the AR gets a range and accuracy improvment .AR could become the new BR

  • 07.22.2009 8:18 AM PDT

Loading...

You know what they should do? take the halo 3 assualt rifle and reduce its clip by half, down the damage, and pretend like its more accurate! (o wait they already did that.)

  • 07.22.2009 8:22 AM PDT

Yes, the AR appears in the game. And I believe the character that uses it as their specialty is Buck, please correct me if I'm wrong.
