yeah, but he doesn't listen to facts, thats fine. You can believe what you want, thats why this is a poll to state what you think. But an opinion can still be wrong, and its a fact that the AR is the signature weapon.

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.”

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.


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
*sigh*.

It wasn't in The Flood or First Strike, either.

The Assualt Rifle, here's why:

It's made its appearance in all but one book.
It's made its FULL appearence in Halo 1, Halo 3, ODST, Halo Wars, and will probably be in reach too.
It's the favorite weapon of the Spartans and UNSC Marine Corps.
It's one of the best weapons to use in the game, and yet the simplest one to use.
you might want to prepare for some nasty comments.

The Battle Rifle was in First Strike.

Anyway the signature weapon is definitely the MA5B.

I don't remember it. Could you like quote the book or something? (I'm not attacking you I just don't remember if it was one of the prototype weapons they picked up)

was the SMG in CE? for CE and halo 3, i would say the signature weapon is the assault rifle. But in halo 2 i would say it's the SMG, since for some reason at that time dual wielding SMGs was considered really awesome. But the most popular weapon would easily be the battle rifle, because all i hear now is people whining that it wasn't in ODST


this is why i like the carbine.

signature vechile is pretty obvious: Pumbaa

Sorry I can't find the quote because I don't have the book here but it was in First Strike when the Spartans were in Castle Base. Fred and Will found the crate with the weapons and it describes the BR. They had never seen the weapon before so I'm guessing it was still possibly a prototype.
Then later in the book during OPERATION: FIRST STRIKE it actually says "he leveled his Battle Rifle".
I can't remember the direct quotes but yeah it was definitely in the book.

I just realised it...

The signature weapon for the Halo series is... HALO.... Dun dun dun!!!!

I feel like an idiot. It's so obvious. :S

  • 10.17.2009 4:44 PM PDT

Beware the smiley face! =D

Assault rifle without a doubt.

Its on the cover of CE and H3, its the weapon of choice for MC and the bog standard, average at everything gun. It is the staple gun.

BR is the signature gun of online, not the game as a whole.

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.

The Fail Inspector needs to make an inspection of himself. The Assault Rifle is Master Chiefs signature weapon.

Interesting, that is actually exactly what I thought a couple of hours ago.

I bow before you XD

I realized that after I typed it. I just quickly skimmed the poll, and didn't see it.

It is the AR. Which you seemingly left out of the poll on accident.

Master chief always has an AR, in the cut scenes, on the box cover, in the books.
what are you talking about? its right their on the poll.

alright, I wasn't attacking you or anything. Just pointing it out. No worries.

  • 10.17.2009 5:29 PM PDT

LOL LOL LOL You just get Shot

WTF!! This Game is HALO Reach and We want more WEAPONS IN HALO REACH :D

  • 10.17.2009 5:33 PM PDT

how about, a miniature black hole gun?

One shot would like, destroy everything within a 1 billion mile radius, but it'd look cool for the one second you lived.

*rolls eyes*

Assault Rifle; the community has SPOKEN!

And, by the way, I use the AR on Legendary.

93% of statistics are lies. Formerly Xfire Grunt. Unfortunately, you can't change the WLID for your BNET account, so I had to create an alternate account. My other WLID was spam city (and it was my e-mail account too).

Halo doesn't really have a signature weapon. The AR wasn't in Halo 2.

Halo has a signature charachter but not a weapon. Only like Star Wars really has a signature weapon.

Edit: If Halo has a signature weapon, it is the title. But even that is iffy because more people play MP a lot more often.

it has one but it doesnt look good so the use another waepon would u condone your spartan to be on the cover holding a plasma pistol, it is the signature waepon its in all the halos, dire for legendary and mythic. it just looks like it garbage. more units use this than any other weapon.

to me a siganture waepon has to be useful and powerfull like the insurgent badass weapon of the world the ak-47 looks good, powerfull, and useful signature weapon has more to do with a game than just it was in the 1st game. that would be like saying the signature player for the team was the 1st player the team recruited NOT!

Halo CE: Assault Rifle (In the campaign It was always needles and snipes for me)

Halo 2: Battle Rifle (Master Chief) :Energy Sword (Arbiter)

Halo 3: Spartan Laser (Johnson dies Chief kills 343 with it etc.)

Halo 3 ODST: Either Silenced SMG, or Auto MAG (Heads Heads and possibly a chance of heads) What do you think? For me its a tie.
