Are we going to get a non-crippled version of the assault rifle in odst, or are we getting the same broken piece of garbage version from halo 3?

How to spell "space"?

S-P-ACE! SPACE!

I hope they de-nerf it (IN HALO REACH). MA5B FTW! MA5C FTL!
We still have the garbage in H3ODST.

I'm glad you're expressing you're opinion like fact. Anyhow, i think it's the same thing as it was in Halo 3.

How can you fix something that isn't broken? They programmed/made it like that.

Buck seems to think it's capable of fighting a banshee.

now THAT"S reliable.

  • 08.05.2009 6:14 PM PDT

the reason the assault rifle is the way it is in H3, is so that all other weapons are good, and you don't spawn with a fairly good weapon

...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.

If you are being sarcastic, then you fail. Assault Rifle is a great weapon for Banshees if you have nothing else. If you are sarcastic, sorry.


On topic, I think the Assault Rifle is great in Halo 3. I don't want a change.

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

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.

I was calling the AR reliable, as in a handy thing to have. Like you said a great weapon if you don't have anything else.

Basicly: I do liek teh AR

The AR has more range than you think, your just not using it right.

Forever praise Lord Jesus Christ, The Father, The Holy Spirit, the one true Lord Almighty God, and bless all forever in His holy name :)

Garbage?

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.

  • 08.05.2009 6:57 PM PDT

Why don't they make every weapon take more skill and be more powerful to balance that out? That would fix the problems.

  • 08.05.2009 7:05 PM PDT

there is an assult rifle?
geez, last time i checked, there wasn't.

The only weapons that have changed are the SMG and the pistol. That's it. The rest are the same.
And the AR DOES have more range than you think. The gun doesn't have any recoil that affects your accuracy.

The man speaks the tru7h; the AR is Completely worthless on Heroic and Legendary. On Heroic, it's ok short range... but that is why we have the SMG, right?

It is good at stripping Brute armor on Heroic and Legendary and then just switch to a more accurate weapon to finish it off
