I think there's a good chance there will be a dedicated medium ranged weapon that's scopable and headshot capable. I think it might be called the BR.

Make it a bit stronger than the Halo 3 AR

Both the M16 in call of duty 4 and the BR in halo 3 are semi-automatic. I also hate them both. I mean, did they have to make a weapon with a longer range than an AR that can kill people just as fast and un-scope snipers?

At least in CoD4 we had accurate assault rifles. Only when scoped though but still.

The AR is reportedly pretty accurate. The key is to pulse the trigger.

Also: Don't try to play AR to BR at medium range. Retreat, flank, grenade, cover or double team him.

Its a trap!!!

I want to vote but you put 2 different choices in one option

"Maybe, some small changes, or big changes."

Well i want some tweaks but not big changes

the AR dose enough damage it just dose the wrong damage.
in Halo CE and 2 Human weapon were more effective against Armor and flesh. however in halo 3 the AR did little armor damage to emphasize melee. but that turned the classic MA5 Automatic Awesome Machine in a bludgeoning tool. so I'm hoping that the MA5 sound like the Halo CE AR and is as accurate or more accurate then the Halo 3 AR.

yes change the sound back to halo CE or something simular to it

My 360 is being repaired right now, but I remember the AR having 1/3 the effective range of a BR, and it could still possibly lose at close range, since it has no headshotting ability.

Dodge and weave.

Again: Don't try to fight a BR with an AR from medium range. You'll lose.

I'm sorry I didn't make this clear, or even mention it at all... but I think the BR is awesome... too awesome... I mean, what would you fight a BR with at medium/long range? Snipers can't aim at them, AR's can't reach them, laser could take too long to charge, if you miss with the rockets your screwed, if you are fighting with dual-wieldables, your pretty much screwed.

It also doesn't effect aiming too much when they get out of scope. So it beats the sniper there too.

Well. I dunno how every person you fight gets the Super BR but I would like one too. God Mode is incredibly fun.

As for what to do? I suggest stop fighting and let them kill you till they get bored.

"Nah. As long as the prince of darkness is okay with it. I am too. But thanks anyway, Mr. Velvet Spider."

xD

I think they should make an older model look for the Halo Reach AR. It would still be a essentially the same but maybe a little more powerful and visually different.

Punch a bear in the face.


If you don't know who I am, the feeling is mutual.

I think that the current AR just needs tweaking. Plus, the BR should be nerfed a bit.

...why does it seem like you assume I suck with a BR?...

Because of this:

Posted by: chancegill
Both the M16 in call of duty 4 and the BR in halo 3 are semi-automatic.

That and your thread subject which is basically "Replace the BR with the AR."

Signatures are for squares.

Just throw in the MA5B and everyone wins.

...I never said I wanted to replace the BR...

Sorry. I jumped to a conclusion with "It would make a great weapon should the BR be taken out." and "I hate the BR."

This. Halo CE AR = Awesome. Please bring it back. Or at least something similar.

The AR just needs a similar spread to the BR when you use short controlled burst and in ODST it did. and it needs a x2 zoom like the ODST SMG. so that way it's not cumbersome up close and it has an aim assist that works past 20m the scope would not throw off Balance, the AR would do the smae damage it and be no more accurate. but it would be essayer to use at max range.
