Subject: That Spartan's AR is the Halo 3 AR

Alright, I think we have all established that the Spartan in the middle of the picture is holding an Assalut Rifle, am I right? Well, I'm on Halopedia and I currently am comparing the difference between the AR in Halo C.E. to the AR used in Halo 3 and Halo 3: ODST and I have come to the conclusion that the AR the Spartan is holding is the Halo 3 and ODST Assault Rifle because of it's barrel size. The Halo C.E. AR has a smaller barrel than the barrel of the AR in the picture, and the Halo 3 and ODST Assault Rifle has a longer barrel (around the barrel size of the AR in the picture) which is what made the gun more accurate. This is what I believe so I could be wrong, or it might be a whole new type of AR we haven't seen yet that is similar to the Halo 3 and Halo 3: ODST AR. =/

I know, I really hope it's not the Halo 3 AR, but the evidence points to it. Hopefully it is a new type.

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

I don't see a scope... or a space between the barrel and the top...

hopefully it actully works lol. the halo 3 assault rifle has a range of about 3 feet and it takes an entire clip to kill someone who is 1 shot at like 30 feet away lol.

the "balanced" weapon is a joke and it is what i call a "drop" weapon because it is entirely useless and you always drop it for a br, pistol, anything

not sure of the year but i beilieve its in the 40's that the Br was introduced into the main stream combat. the one they picked up in first strike was the halo 3 one. and as for the AR, it could be Halo CE just revamped to look better in a marines hands, everything in that game was made to scale a spartan, hence y it looked so blam huge

When did we establish this? to me, it looks like it could be a BR or a shotgun...

Edit: and you can not see the full details of the weapon, so it could skew the scope and stuff. also the AR does not have that thing on the top that juts out, which the BR does.

Just rock to the rhythm of the funky Rhyme, So i can get busy just one more time.

i dont know how you can derive your conclusions from comparing images (that only use a small silhouette) without having hard evidence and actual measurements... dont get too ahead of yourself.

I'd be more inclined to call it a BR due to the body shape and the length of the barrel.

Well it's just a hunch. But so far that's all I can come up with. I didn't make this to say that that weapon is no doubt the Halo 3 and Halo 3: ODST AR, it's just what it looks like to me.

my bet is on the human carbine that got cut from the previous games getting thrown into the mix

Maybe it´s a modification of the AR or BR that never left reach because the Covenant blocked the orbit.
