The battle rifle is popular, but that doesn't make it the signature weapon.
In the viDoc Is Quisnam Protero Damno!
Tom Doyle - "The assualt rifle's design language really works well with the Master Chief. It has such a unique, kinda, silhouette and (couldn't understand this word)to it. We really didn't want to change with what is already a Halo canon."
The AR was there from the beginning. It and the MC were made at the same time. It is as much Halo as he is.
The BR was an adaptation of the Halo CE magnum, and the original AR. Taking the strengths of both, and leaving the weaknesses in the form of the SMG. The AR is in 3 out of the 4 games they've made. The BR is only in 2 of them. It had it's hay day in Halo 2. And that really sold it as a weapon of choice. But from the concept perspective the AR is Halo's signature weapon. Just look at most of the cutscenes in Halo 3 or in the cinematic trailer. He's always holding an AR.
The AR was made for the chief. It is "Halo canon"
