Definitely. It's the most iconic weapon in the series, and shouldn't be removed. Especially with it's widespread use in the background of the Halo series. But I reckon it should be changed, along with another couple of human weapons. I was thinking change the BR, AR and SMG to suit each other. Something like this...
Battle Rifle
Magazine size - 30 rounds (Debatable)
Fire mode - semi automatic
Rate of fire - slightly faster than Halo 1 pistol
Range - mid to semi-long range
Headshots - yes
Assault Rifle
Magazine size - 33 rounds
Fire mode - three round burst
Rate of fire - slightly faster than Halo 2 BR
Range - mid range (Less effective at close range than current version and inneffective at long range)
Headshots - no (Or perhaps only capable of headshots against unshielded opponents)
SMG
Magazine size - 60 rounds
Fire mode - fully automatic
Rate of fire - same as Halo 1 AR
Range - close range
Headshots - no
So you see, the Assault Rifle would ideally be suited for mid range combat, with the burst fire mode making it innacurate at longer ranges and fairly limited at close range compared to purpose built close range weapons (Though it shouldn't be impossible to kill with at close range, just more difficult than the current version). The Battle Rifle would be more dominant at mid range with its scope, but would ideally be even more limited at close range than the Assault Rifle. The SMG would complete the triangle, being dominant at close range but very limited at anything longer than semi-mid range. The power of all weapons would be decided by Bungie. So basically, BR = dominant mid range weapon, SMG = dominant close range weapon, and Assault Rifle = dominant at neither, suitable for both.
Anyone agree?
no, why would we need to change the assult rifle into another battle rifle? we dont need 2 and i think the AR is fine the way it is
I never said "turn it into another Battle Rifle". If you'd read the full thing, you'd probably understand that (Though I don't expect you to agree with it. That's up to you).
