Maybe the d-pad could hold a switch for automatic/semi-auto?


i could only see a fire selection switch useful on a BR. the AR on the other hand is accurate if you fire in burst or if you could manage to get one shot. that was easy in halo CE but the AR is accurate if you use it right.

For every action, there is an equal and opposite airstrike.

The Assault Rifle should have the same model number as Halo: CE, the MA5B.

It should however perform like no other automatic in Halo's history. It should actually be, oh what's the word, ACCURATE. As much flaming as this may cause, look at the ACR in MW2. Pinpoint-accuarte even when firing full-auto.

Now look me in the face and tell me technology in the year 2552 has gone backwards. The BR should still be superior at long range; it has the longer barrel, it has the scope, but the AR is not meant to mill around at the bottom, and actually, neither should the SMG, Plasma Rifle or even our friend the Spiker.

I dont care about its gameplay characterisics.... I just want it to sound like the MA5B.

Halo is dependent on the suppression of disbelief, however there are believable aspects that could be implemented with no alteration to halo's gameplay. for example you do have a good point about the AR being pathetic in comparison to even a sub-machine gun today. the MA5s max range in game-play is 120m however the .308 round if fires should be accurate at 600m and that's today's standards i would assume that in the future we would be using more efficient propellants. Matter in fact the BR55 dose.
