I watch this on loop when I'm bored.

The Assault Rifle did have its ammo reduced due to spring problems with the large ammo count but wasn't that during the gap between Halo 1 and Halo 3? I'm probably wrong, i just remember reading someting like that in the weekly update before Halo 3 was released.

But will this mean that we will get our hands on the AR before the ammo count was reduced?

Hopefully we will get to use the old MA5B assault rifle. And Plasma Pistols will be useful again.

It still is if you know how to use it, but i miss the stopping power of it.

I hope they make it 50 rounds but with the accuracy of the H3 AR. The firing rate and sound should stay the same as H1.

You can get kills with them, but in Halo 1 you could actually kill something just by shooting them before they lit you up.

They should put the MA5B in with the MA5K.

I hope not, in multiplayer you couldn't hit anything over a distance.

That is what the Pistol was for.

PLEASE DO NOT SEND ME GROUP INVITATIONS

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

I hope so!

Actually, I would prefer a new AR. Not the one from Halo, not the one from Halo 3. 45 rounds. 3x the range of the Halo 3 AR if you pulse the trigger. If you fire it in full auto, it has the accuracy of the Halo 1 AR. It has the power of the H1 AR on bodyshots, but a 2x damage bonus is granted for headshots, should you take your time to land them. Add a 2x scope like ODST's SMG. Call it the MA5K.

This would make it a much more versatile weapon.

I prefered the original because it was an actual assault rifle, not the sub machine gun we have now
