"If buttered toast lands buttered side down, and cats always land on their feet, then what happens when you attach buttered toast to the back of a cat?

Posted by: rockmaster10 rounds/sec I play paintball, and with the ROF limit at 10 bps in most tourneys, I can tell from experience that 10 Hz is EXTREMELY slow You're right, I'll up it to 15 rounds/sec like the H1 AR.
30 bodyshots/10 headshots to kill Bungie tries to make their guns be able to kill 2 people with one clip, and as you say in your next line, a gun as inaccurate as the H1 AR in full auto with only 45 rounds and 30 body shots will break the 2 kill per clip rule, and 10 headshots would be near impossible without draining the clip too You're right... maybe 20 bodyshots or 10 headshots?
as accurate as H2 BR (single shot), as accurate as H3 BR (pulsed), as accurate as H1 AR (full auto) people would not single shot or pulse the AR for headshots, after all that's what the halo 1 pistol is for in your idea, right? ;)Well I think that the AR needs to be more accurate, because in H1 and H3 its only worth using at close range. It wouldnt be headshot capable so the Pistol/BR would still make a return =)
2x scopeA gun as accurate as the BR when in single shot or pulsed, with a 2x scope? Why not just keep the BR and make things less complicated?Well a BR-type weapon (hopefully single shot, maybe the M6D) should return as well, the scope is just to make the weapon more versatile. Both could have a scope (like how the SMG and Magnum have a scope in ODST)... the AR would not be headshot capable and would kill slower than the BR, but with a scope, the AR could actually make a decent spawn weapon since it would be operational at midrange (though I would still prefer to spawn with a BR or Pistol).
Just to clarify, there would not be firing modes on this, you tap the button lightly to fire a single shot (like in H1/H3 ARs) you pulse the trigger to get a small burst of bullets (2-5) which would be more accurate than full auto, but less accurate than single shot. Or you could hold the trigger down and go full auto, in which case the AR would only work at close range, like in H1/H3. You just want the Assault Rifle to be something it is not. You do know the difference between a real life Assault Rifle and Battle Rifle right? They fit their niches as they should. There is no single perfect gun that fits all roles and performs well. The whole reason assault rifles were developed is because engagements were being held at closer range, so a weapon more powerful than an SMG but with the range of a traditional rifle was sought. The Halo 3 AR handles that role quite well. In fact, the gun isn't the problem, it's the range the battles are conducted at I believe is the problem. Looking at it now, the most battles I've fought in Halo have been at a medium range where the AR is starting to limit its effectiveness and the BR comes more into play. If anything, don't adjust the AR's clip, just tighten it and the BR's grouping, and increase their range a tad. That way they are more suited for their roles without completely butchering them and resurrecting a God pistol.
The weapons are fine, but with a little more range to the AR, BR, and maybe even the pistol (just no scope on the pistol or AR) they can be more suited to perform in their respective roles.
