...The AR is broken? Yeah the Halo: CE AR was better, but the current one is fine. Maybe a LITTLE damage boost, but personally I find it a decent, good gun.
Though, I believe the Carbine needs some more too it. Either an accuracy boost or a damage boost. That way we can have another weapon that's almost like a sister to the BR, so we have a LITTLE more variety in what guns are mainly used.
The current version of the assault rifle is anything but fine. The thing is completely dependent on grenades and melee.
Besides, the reason that bungie broke it in the first place so that serve as a good starting weapon (which it failed miserably at, precisely because bungie crippled it), however now that the only enemies you face are covenant the assault rifle needs a power up so that it will be useful. What it really needs is better range and a slight increase in clip size (45 rounds would work). The current assault rifle may be fine on easy and normal difficulty (for the most part), but the moment you try to use it on heroic or legendary it becomes completely useless.
The AR has more range than you think, your just not using it right.
Let me guess, you're talking about pulse firing it right? Well I've tried that and its still way too inaccurate.
Besides seeing what they did with the smg, it wouldn't be unreasonable to assume that the assault rifle may be made more accurate as well.
