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.[/quote]

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.



not nearly as much

stop arguing in vain we both know iam correct


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.


of course you can fend them off...BCUZ ITS PROPERLY BALANCED

in h3 it is not...thats why it is not in MLG...it is overpowered

at 110% damage


The BR can take out an AR easily. Connect all 4 shots and done. That, or dual wield, grab a power weapon, anything, even an AR can counter an AR. The BR is too focused on 4 shots though, connect all four, and done. There was never a need to pick up another weapon.

I see the word overpowered...
Lemme see.
BR takes four headshots.
AR takes a little more than half a clip,and its inaccurate.

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.[/quote]
how about this one?

you like the tag?


72 Games? Try again.

Tag made me chuckle...


k how about this one?


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 have 9 exp in squad


Yes, and you have low exp in the other ranked playlists as well, 20exp being the highest. Here.

now youre taking my points out of context

i said its overpowered at 110% damage and thats why its not in MLG


Yes, MLG uses different settings. Normal Halo 3 settings, it is perfectly balanced.

if we are talking about Halo 3: MLG, then yes, remove the AR.

well you started this sub discussion with an MLG video

and balance was not one of my points in the OP was it?


You didn't make any points in your OP, which everyone has tried to make you see. All you basically said is that it encouraged bad gameplay, with no evidence behind it.

no wonder COD overtook it


How does Call of Duty beat #1 most played game on Xbox Live since its release. Are you -blam!- retarded by any chance?


there are 2 COD games out at the moment

add the 2 together than see who is #1

also COD4 had #1 locked down before WAW was released


im not a COD fan by any means im just stating the facts

That's not how it works. Some people probably bough WaW because it went back to original glory of WW2. While others bought COD 4 because it was modern Warfare. Plus, the # of players is counted by players logged in. A player could play COD4 then go play COD: Waw in the same day, and it would be a vote for each game.

ya but its like 3 bullets and a melee...which takes like .1 seconds and is retardatedly overpowered

The AR used half its clip before it died.Plus.if you have a BR you shouldn't even be close enough to get beat down.

Well..they kinda contradicted themselves then.
"The AR is overpowered."
"Yeah well the Br just took out the AR"
The Br is Overpowered.

w/e the powers that be at MLG deemed it overpowered

its not in

case closed

Wrong. The reason MLG doesn't use a large variety of weapons is because they try to have less weapons as possible. Seeing as how the BR can fill in an AR's position (hence, overpowered), there is no need for an AR in MLG. The reason they minimize the # of weapons is to reduce randomness, and keep it more competitive (I.E. bland and boring).

Do your research before you talk about something you seem to care so much about.

Thank you!

Please note STiS, this thread you made was about Halo: Reach not Halo: MLG.

Still waiting on some good,valid,backed up reasons that the AR should not be in Halo Reach

  • 07.15.2009 6:35 PM PDT

Big Team Battle Multiflag/Slayer on Standoff/Valhalla/Sandtrap/Avalanche = Win

The guy in the middle of the Halo Reach silhouette is clearly holding an AR.

Case Closed.

Well I believe the OP was referring to Multiplayer. That spartan is from Campaign.

But if its a main weapon in Campaign, theres no doubt it'll be in Multiplayer...
