You haven't read the books then.

Halo's signature weapon is easily the MA5B, which should return in Reach. It was used in every book, and is very useful in Halo CE

Reach MMO. Here's to hoping.

And the people that believe "the hardcore playlists would be more popular if the rules were strictly MLG" can come off it, now. If you're not willing to support something close to your own setup, there's no reason for us to believe that cloning our own lists and stripping the variety down will attract more people. -- Shishka, Bungie.net

If your basing Halo's signiture weapon (the one most people would recognize) off the books then you have no idea what a small population has read the books.

It is easily the battle rifle or assault rifle.

The battle Rifle is proberly the public FAVOURITE! But Halo's signiture weapon IS the Assault Rifle. It was the MAIN weapon used in Halo: Combat Evolved (where Halo started]. And it is Master Chiefs prefered weapon of choice.

-blam!- GTFO OF MY SIGNATURE

The assault rifle, obviously. It's the most unique human weapon, and came out with Halo:CE.

And because the AR was created by Bungie first, the BR's design and most notably it's ammo counter were probably based off the AR.

the assault rifle cant be halos signature weapon b/c bungie got rid of it 4 halo 2 and im 99.9% sure the smg was made to replace it and only brought it back cuz ppl complained. its even worse in H3 than it was in CE. personally the battle rifle should have been but they got rid of it for odst which really doesnt make any sense. HOW did u have it in H2 but now all of a sudden theres none in odst but again used in H3 its like they had a recall on the BR for the odst time period

After reading your statement for the signature weapon of Halo, I think you need to inspect yourself.

Good Day.

i agree with you on the battle rifle but i think that the needler and the carbine are the most unique weapons that have come out of the halo franchise.

Slow down there, i dont think the OP is that messed up. For the love of god, don't check yourself. But the AR is definatley the Halo series signature weapon. It is used almost all the time in the books and was the main campaign weapon in Halo: CE and Halo 3's campaign.

  • 10.14.2009 1:39 PM PDT

The assault rifle is by for the most symbolic, or "signature" weapon of the Halo franchise.

First: It's the Master Chief's preferred weapon
Second: It's the primary cutscene weapon (if I recall correctly), and the Master Chief is almost always pictured with the assault rifle in other forms of media. (Also, when you're designing your spartan in game, he or she is holding an assault rifle)
Third: It's the primary starting weapon.
Fourth: It's the most common weapon in the books.

-I was here

the needler and the assault rifle. they are the 2 most unique weapons (BR was ripped off a G36) and they date back to the original game, wheras the BR and carbine didn't show up till the sequal

to BE honest if you really THINK about it the PLASMA PISTOL is HALOS signature weapon. the Ar sux and was replaced by the smg. the battle rifle missed a game. all the brutes weapons were added after H2 and what would you do on LEGENDARY WITH NO PP dont even think ABOUT MYTHIC 99.9% of halo players would break down and cry about how difficult it is

i also find it funny how no1 picked the plasma pistol

  • 10.14.2009 1:50 PM PDT

Doc: "i'm a pacifist"
Caboose: "your a thing that babies suck on?"
Tucker: "no dude, that's a pedephile"
Church: "tucker, i think he means a pacifier"

Since the first Halo the signature weapon has been the AR. Even in the novels, though different iterations, the AR is the primary weapon.

The only reason the BR is used so much is because of how easilly it allows people to call themselves "skilled".

I speak the truth, and truth speaks itself.
The lies disguise what you despise.
Run. Flee and be, what you've always dreamed.
What happens now won't matter later.
What you see will not be, nor what you imagine will not happen.
The end is close, so take your dose.

There's a different one for each Halo game.
