Definetely the AR,it's more iconic than the BR or any other weapon in Halo.

Peace through superior firepower.

In my opinion the magnum was. Through the games, that was the only weapon that someone could find some sort of want for. The assault rifle was only in two games, Battle Rifle in two, etc. The others just don't capture Halo, even though they may have been in all the games.

It doesn't matter if the AR wasn't in Halo 2, they were experimenting with dual wielding, a brand new mechanic to the halo games. Who would pick up an AR when you can hold TWO GUNS!

Of course they realized their mistake cause people in halo 2 weren't throwing grenades or meleeing and returned the AR.

The only reason that people would choose the BR over the AR a majority of the time is cause its more efficient. That doesn't make it the signature weapon.

A spartan laser is the most efficient weapon IMO, its a one hit kill and its fast, not to mention I can probably beat Campaign on Mythic if I had one with infinite ammo.

Halo 3 is my first FPS multilayer, at first i was like 0.1 k/d, but now every game i play is +20 carnage. Practice is key my fellow gamers.

I use a battle rifle, but its definetly the ROCKET LAUNCHER, jks. its the ass-ault rifle, mostly because main character noob-master chief uses it, and its in all of his cutscenes (I think).

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.

I would say that the assault rifle would be the signature weapon. I would have said rocket launcher but sadly it doesn't lock on to anything like in the good old days.

I say the assult rifle was the first main primary halo weapon all the way back in halo combat evolved and i say it should be the signature weapon then the battle rifle

  • 10.27.2009 2:31 PM PDT

i would like it to be the br. but it is certainly the m5ab assault rifle.

How can you say that the Battle Rifle is the signature weapon. In my opinion, the needler is the most unique weapon in the game. There are many games that use a battle rifle. The ones in other games may not look like the Halo one, but it's still a battle rifle. I can't recall anything that is as unique as the needler.

You could say the battle rifle is the signature weapon of multiplayer and that the AR is the signature weapon of the series.

WTF?

that is a very good point.

  • 10.27.2009 2:35 PM PDT

I kinda think you all went off topic. This isn't about the most unique weapon,. It's about the signature weapon. The weapon that defines Halo. That is without a doubt the Assault Rifle.

A signature weapon could mean a lot of things. Apparantly, your idea of a signature weapon would be reliability.

the signature weapon is the plasma pistol no matter how u look at it.

  • 10.28.2009 10:10 AM PDT

The original AR hands down.

It was actually really good in Halo: CE but it was kind of underused due to the overpowered pistol.

  • 10.28.2009 10:17 AM PDT

how do you ppl fighure the AR was used more than the halo ce pistol??? i never used the ar it was always discarded for another weapon immediately. it underpowered and sux that y it was replaced by the smg in H2 and u cant use it in firefight.
and b4 i get labled as a br fanboy the br sux 2 the covenant weapons are much better (except when talking automag - the fact that it loks strange[a pistol that can zoom with no scope])
