I'd have to say it's the Warthog. I mean, sure it's a Vechile, but as a weapon it works just fine. And everyone recognizes the Warthog, even some of my friends who haven't played the games much at all.


There's a difference between open minded and witty posts, and spam. Yours is spam. Were talking about weapons fired, not vehicles.

If this thread was about Halo's most Iconic vehicle it would have to be the warthog.

stop basing your opinion about Halo's signature weapon on wether or not the gun is good. The assault rifle IS the signature weapon in the series, if not. In CE, MC and all the marines hold assault rifles. In halo 2, MC hold the AR's replacement, the smg, and in Halo 3 he holds the AR.

its definately the Battle rifle it is used more in the games and the books than all the others and its the only weapon that i believe the world would have 500 years down the road.


Spartan laser? Besides I'd bet projectiles would be put along the lines as rocks are nowadays.

The plasma rifle has been in every game and book. Plus it' very different from other game's weapons.

  • 10.28.2009 7:08 PM PDT

I intend to live forever, or die trying,

so far, so good.

I chosed SWORD, because it was one of the few weapons in Halo CE, you could not use, and the one you wanted to use the most. But the Halo CE Pistol and Assult Riffle would most likely be one.

the M.A.C. cannon

A.) I lol'd hard at that.
B.) AR, considering it started out in Halo CE, and it's the primary weapon in Halo 3, I consider it to be the "Symbol" for the Halo franchise.

Key word being in HALO.

So probably, AR/SMG.

Now if it were in Halo 2/3, then it'd probably be BR.

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.”

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


the battle rifle is used in all the books except the 1st 2 b/c it wasnt made yet. it was used as a prototype in contact harvest given by the oni stationed their for the marines defense. + MC doesnt use the MA5B that often he perfers the shotgun for the flood and the battle rifle
No. He uses an assault rifle all of the time.

Wrong. Plus, I'd never use Halo: The Flood as a true source. We only used the shotgun cause it was most useful against space zombies. Truly, Chief loves the AR to effin death.

BTW Elites rule!

And I am probably just trolling you right now....especially if it is a controversial thread

The Energy Sword. Any game can have human or alien rifles, but the lunging energy sword is halo's trademark weapon.

thinking about it this poll kinda represents ahlo itself the 68% that beleieve its the ar are mainly ppl who beat the game on heroic or lower the BR are those who beat the game up to legendary 15% then the rest is mythic about a whopping 3%

y bc a br or ar are worthless on their own in mythic especailly with tilt on there is no possible way for you 2 beat the game with mythic on with an ar ud waste like 2 clips just taking a brute chefitans shields down then another 2 to kill him


I smell fake statistics.

And Legendary is no biggie, so stop acting as if 80% of the poll is just a bunch of newbs that cant beat legendary and face facts. The AR is the signature weapon and you just used this thread to start an ARvBR thread.


tell u what u beat halo 3 or odst on mythic with an ar (ill even let you melee with it) or one of the halos with tilt on then ill resend my statement and say the ar is awsome


I would like a written confession, and a dozen cookies please.

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.

The AR is without a doubt the signature weapon, though the BR is the most well liked.

  • 11.05.2009 11:29 AM PDT

Just as every cop is a criminal,
And all the sinners saints,
As heads is tails, just call me lucifer
'Cause I'm in need of some restraint.

Bow chicka honk honk.

Anyone who started the series with Halo: CE should agree that the AR (MA5B/C, though probably the B) is the signature weapon of Halo. This doesn't have anything to do with the performance of the weapon, but its design. The BR? It just looks like the TAR-21 and M-16 had a baby. The Assault rifle? Now THAT is a unique looking weapon. And before you start, yes, I know about the F2k. The AR is no F2k.

So, as far as stand-out weapons from the Halo series go, the original AR has to be at the top of the list.
