Are the SMG and Batle rifle replacing the assault rifle, or are they just being added?

The only true answer is we do not know.

logically the battle rifle is the upgrade of the AR and the SMG is a new gun, (I like the pistol I hope they dont drop it or make it stupid)

i thought it was the other way around with the SMG replacing the AR and the BR being add or replacing the pistol and the we might get a magnum type handgun

That is not right, it's only speculation. If you are going to make such statements please provide evidence to back up your theories.

Usually in Halo's early levels you start with the AR but in the E3 2003 demo you had a BR...
think about that

just cause the main weapon gets replaced with another one doesn't mean its replacement will be in the main slot plus for all you know we could also start levels with an SMG as secondary

* The AR will not make it
* It has been replaced with the Batle Rifle
* The SMG is just an add on
* There will be a magium pistol (not confirmed but it you read the books it is there)

The Battle Rifle is the evolution of the Assault Rifle. It's easily going to be one of most reliable weapons in the game. And it makes sense since the MA5B was only effective when fired in bursts the Battle Rifle makes this a default. Also has sniping ability and more power. And the SMG is alot more different than the AR than people will notice at first and was in Halo PC before the transition to the Xbox. Spartan Code 58 is absolutly right about this!

WRONG! Bungie havent said anything regarding this. Also, theres a lot of things in the books but it doesnt neccesarily mean they're in the game. Both the AR and pistol may be back in Halo 2 and we don't know for sure. Hedwig knows this also.

You must be REALLY ignorant to ASSume that Bungie would include false information into their officially licensed novel. Bungie has on many occasions said the Battle Rifle is a evolution of the old Assault Rifle just look in the FAQ.

Yes but apes still exist right? Just because a weapon has an upgrade it doesn't mean the older version is unusable. Bungie have never actually said that the AR will be gone.

Its not false information but it doesnt mean it will neccesarily be in the game.

That's the worst illustration I have heard in a while if you put up a arguement then atleast come up with something better than that! Look in the freaking FAQ the AR has been replaced by the next gen version of it the Battle Rifle.

i've read the FAQ and the Battle Rifle is a newer version of the Assault Rifle yes?

Well what does that prove? Only that its a new weapon. The Assault Rifle could easily make it into the game.

I would have to agree with you. A lot of people have been speculating about the MA5B making it into Halo 2. But from my knowledge, Bungie hasn't said that it will or wont. So who knows?

Whatever if your that stubborn i'm dropping this but i'm adding you to my list of people to mock when Halo 2 comes out because of their opinions. If you take slim chances and technicallities to make yourself correct than that's you but just because Bungie hasn't said that it wont be back that's no proof whereas there is so much MORE proof otherwise.

What you said makes no sense. You are going to mock people who stated that the Bungie has yet to confirm whether the MA5B is in the game or not? No one said that its not, we just said it hasn't been confirmed. So before you have such a quick mouth, I suggest paying attention to what people avtually say.

What you just said is what we're saying, bungie havent said that it won't be back

I can't imagine a first person shooter without a pistol.

Yes we dont know for sure but it's a huge likelyhood that there will be no MA5B or M6D pistol according to the info we do have.

Thats not true, we still don't know. Let me ask you, did Bungie say 'it is very unlikely we will see either the MA5B or the M6D in Halo 2"? Well, not that I have heard, which means we still don't know.
