I am of an open mind and I am willing to hear criticism. Also: That's stupid and you're stupid.

I found a nice video of how well MLG played out back in the day. Here.

Wow....I actually never knew that MLG used AR's back in CE xD


Yep, just the evolution of games and the new players to Halo 2 and 3 got people use to the BR, the AR was just fine back in the day, and still is now.

that was bcuz it was properly balanced in HCE and its gameplay was fine

it wasnt melee dependent then


You would be surprised.

Come join the XBConnect site and play some Halo 1 on the original Xbox online. The AR still involved the use of the beatdown a lot. The better players knew how to combat it most of the time though, that's why the BR was given to us as a pick-up in Halo 2 and 3 to counter the AR and SMGs.

If that isn't your cup of tea, go on Halo 1 on the computer, it's the same there too.

Yes some actually reasons of why they should take the AR out would be nice to hear...


i gave my reasons

its redundant and encourages poor gameplay



Your being a poor sport about it because you can't get by them even when you have a BR.



yes i struggle mightily vs newer players


A new account that played for 3 days with no rank and that high of a K/D? You don't support anything with an account like that.

Well, if you "Own" Them then you have no reason to complain.

my HCE broke : (

and no melee did not play nearly as big a role in HCE ARing as in H3


Did you play online? Players beat down with the AR a lot.

There are enough tools in our arsenal and on the map to combat it both in Halo 1 and Halo 3.

I personally feel that if this game is going to take place on Reach than they should feature all the types of the AR including the bullet hose of Halo 1 to the fall back weapon in Halo 3

I have been playing Halo 1 CE online for the past few weeks, I think I know what has been happening.

Play BloodGulch and you can see players trying to beat each other down and successfully doing it. Especially when they try to spawn camp. The AR had it's counters, grab a pistol or a plasma rifle, and you could fend off someone with an AR.

EDIT: You can't assume you're right when your HCE disc is broken.

He who runs, dies last. I suggest you run.

it is a completely useless redundant weapon

it servers absolutely no purpose and overlaps other weapons that fill the same weapon niche

it is a complete failure as a spawn weapon as it promotes boring repetitive gameplay at the best of times and completely unbalanced games at its worst


maybe they should remove you from Halo:Reach

Your ranked K/D comes from Squad Battle and Team Objective, farming kills is easy in playlists like that. I don't look at Social games as a "skilled" oriented playlist.

I agree with him to ShadowScythe but a better idea would be to keep and love all the guns and add new ones (:
