Halo's signature weapon is Halo.

The BR is the right choice forget about the "spray and pray" antics of the ar/smg and feel the wrath of a 4shot


Shut the -blam!- up. You don't even know what this thread is about.

The signature weapon is the AR. It's been said in many interviews.

Halo: CE

It's on the cover of their first game. It's your starting weapon in every game that includes it. Ladies and gents, give it up for the AR!


boo!!!, (throws vegetables)

Alright you are the only one arguing for the BR here so if your not getting it yet the BR is a xbl favorite not the signature weapon of Halo by any means and if you did read the books you would know the Chief prefers an AR and it is the signature weapon. The reason it was removed for ODST? Cause it is OVER-USED and would make the game play far far to easy,it is in fact that much stronger than an SMG or the pistol.

Looking for MLG teammates.

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


Because it takes skill. Simple as that. The AR... giant reticle and it's automatic... lol. I'm sorry, but it's not that difficult to make sure the AR's reticle stays on someone's body, unless you have constant seizures during the game.

So yea, I'm definately arguing for the BR. It's the fan favorite, so I'll go with that.

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


quite wrong....MC in all the books used the MA5B more than the battle rifle. The battle rifle was used constantly in Contact Harvest yes but the assult rifle is the halos signature weapon.

  • 10.22.2009 1:49 PM PDT

Your in Bad Company.

Gee, the assault rifle is still winning, wonder why.

  • 10.22.2009 2:01 PM PDT

The assault rifle, if I saw a BR and an AR on the floor, I'd go for the BR, but the assault rifle is the most iconic weapon.

Apparently none one who has any credit to their name likes the battle rifle, its settled the signature weapon are the halo installations.

The less than a second latency of online play is a better system to play off of than more health.

You realize this system is just as host based, right? because if you're fighting host, or someone with a better connection to host, and you each start firing at the same time, his BULLETS will register first, giving him slightly more health if the melees happen at the same time.

So would you rather have the BS of both, or just one?

I've always felt that the plasma rifle was (and I stress the was) the signature weapon of halo 1 (obviously less so for the games that have followed).
-+-
Although other weapons all have their own uses and perhaps advantages I always enjoyed the concept of an alternative assault rifle that uses overheat instead of magazine limits was just way more interesting than anything else.
I was just playing halo 1 again recently and it brought back that feeling of being able to play through the game using plasma rifles, and better yet having a plasma pistol that could actually kill on its own.
-+-
It was the gradual distancing from this concept that really hurt me most about the sequels of halo. I never have been comfortable with the covenent exchanging their overheating weapons for magazines and making the only two weapons that do this reduced into a novelty weapon (plasma pistol) and just a colorful version of an SMG (plasma rifle).
-+-
This being a halo reach forum I will again express my wishes for this upcoming title to get back to a plasma rifle that acts like a rifle and hopefully see the use of weapon overheat used more frequently in other covenent oddities (I would love to see the carbine either done away with or made to use a plasma battery, and at least a few more full stand alone weapons to be added to the covenant arsenal that are not just the human weapon clones halo 2 and 3 have added).

  • 10.23.2009 1:23 PM PDT

I would definately say the assault rifle because it's the original main weapon in Halo CE(which came out before the books).

  • 10.23.2009 2:21 PM PDT

Someone get the ghost. I call warthog driver. We need someone to get the laser before the other team does. I need a gunner. . . . . No wait- . . . . I NEED A GUNNER . . . . oh . . never mind. I'll just splatter people. <"SPLATTER SPREE">

Sniper rifle, I say. It's used in all books and games

  • 10.23.2009 2:49 PM PDT

Hello

AR its been in all the halo games, and is a one of the most common spawn weapons

AR definitely. Ah I hope we get a MA5B in Reach, the noise of that thing is one of the best things in the Halo universe.

"Violence isnt the answer, but it sure is the solution"

I'd say the energy sword, because its one of the things that sets Halo apart from most other FPSs. Having a sword that works brilliantly in a game full of guns is an amazing feat in my opinion.

ya, gotta know who you are...

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"
