Originally the AR was supposed to have a grenade launcher like the M203 on the M-16s today. however it was replaced with a flash light due to balance probs and they could not work in the Button to switch to it

I agree the AR having a grenade launcher in multiplayer would be ridiculously overpowered

so why not make it accessible in campaign, or on big maps with vehicles and make grenades for it very rear.

as far a the button goes left on the d pad would work well

Or you could just use a bruteshot.

I don't know... it would be a cool add-on, but it might be unnecessary at this point. You've got all kinds of anti-heavy infantry/light vehicle, do you really need one? No doubt it would be neat, but does it do anything other weapons can't?

Plus it might unbalance the AR as a starting weapon.

You mean like a standalone M203 nowadays? That's really more of a sidearm. THAT is something I want in Reach. Two main weapons, and a sidearm. It's silly Spartans can't carry something on their back when their pistol is on the hip.

In Halo Wars the warthog has a grenade launcher in the passenger seat, so why don't we get one in Reach too?

I still am iffy on the balancing aspect. It would be fine if it worked like equipment, but used grenades from your inventory. Press X, pull out the launcher, and fire a sticky across the map at near 90 degree trajectory? Leet.
