It appears according to the latest Halo 3: ODST ViDoc that we are going to have the assault rifle in ODST. Actually it hasn't been confirmed as being a weapon in the game but it is however in the video which leads me to believe it is an in game weapon.

Bummer that they chose to include the AR and not the BR but the weapons which they have instead for it seem to truly make up for it.

Any thoughts?

well yeah but I find it curious that they chose to include the AR and not the BR. I mean it just seems strange. However the halo 1 like pistol is a great addition.

Hey guess what!? I play CoD more than Halo, but I'm not an annoying fanboy. I love CoD more, but I like how involved the Halo Community is...

I don't understand why everything has to be AR/BR all the time.

This is not a Br vs Ar thread. I was just surprised to find out that they had put the AR in the game.

I think BR is overused anyhow, I like the Carbine better & the whole point od ODST is to try something new, so I think it makes perfect sense.

This isn't 'try something new' thread. This is Oh look the AR is in odst.

the AR is definetely useable

i guess it may be more powerful that the SMG... but the scoped SMG is more acuurate.

i don't know

maybe they just felt like leaving it

(im surprised buck doesn't use the shotgun instead of the AR, his armor appears to be close quarters armor)

So yeah, its definite that the AR is in odst. Which is curious because that is such a close quarters weapon, and not really what odsts are built for.

Even M7S with its reflex sights doesn't make very good non-CQB weapon. Its better than M7 at range but there's limits...

AR still has more firepower than either SMG. So its not useless, though Spiker with its even better damage (and increased melee damage) might be even better choice for CQB.

It's not that surprising to be honest. The Assault Rifle is considered the most iconic weapon in the Halo series (Except by people who just don't want to like it). It was one of the first, if not the first, weapons to be designed for the game and is probably the most favoured weapon among Bungie employees. It has appeared in ever cutscene in Halo CE and Halo 3, remains in solid use during the Halo novels and is the Master Chief's favoured weapon. It's not surprising it would make an appearance in ODST, and will probably be in Halo Reach as well.

This is true. The AR, even thought disliked by many retains its iconic status. Even thought many, including I prefer the BR, the AR is undoubtedly the most Halo-ish.
