As you all know the AR wont be returning in halo 2. It will, however, be replaced by its bigger, stronger, and faster brother, the Battle Rifle. Now also as you all know, the BR will have a 2x scope instead of the 'ol ammo counter, and heading sight.

Im just wondering if any of you will miss that. I for one will miss it just a little, that little piece of gameplay struck me as futuristic and 'cool'.

even though i wont mis it, i always looked at the ammo counter in the AR, but when switching weapons, at the one in the top of the HUD, o well.....what can we do, we're getting a gun 10 times better and more accurate than the AR (SMG, and BR)

I'll miss it. Sometimes I'd what to play realisticly (Meaning you don't know the ammo count in the gun) and I'd look at that instead of the one on the HUD. but I'll survive.

Im so happy that there will be no more AR. It was probably the secound worst gun in the game next to the needler and I cant wait for it to be gone. Oh and I dont know if I will be able to pick up the new needler, I pretty much trained myself to never touch that gun in Halo so I will probably stay away from it in Halo 2.

I wont miss it as a gameplay feature - I never used it. The only time I ever really pointed it out was to show off the attention to detail and how great a game Halo IS, anyone I showed it to was amazed that you could scope in on an AR lying on the ground and tell how many rounds it has in the clip I dont think I'll be needing it for Halo2 tho!

I liked it, but I really don't care that it's gone.

Although sometimes I did use it because the bullets on the HUD counter were so teeny-tiny.

  • 08.09.2004 9:21 AM PDT

I never really looked at it, and when I did it wasn't for very long lol. So nah, I don't think i'll miss it that much, and if I do, all I have to do is pop in my Halo disc. :D

you sure its not going to be in halo2? ive just been watching a video, a slightly different version of zambar and the ammo counters there in the corner, alnog with somthing else to the right...anyway, it was there in that video so i dont think itll be missed out of the game and if it is, it wont matter too much to me, though it might be missed when im fighting of elites or whatever and need to know how much ammo ive got...anyway ive just seen a vid with it in so i dont think its not going to be there, unless theres been a interview or somthing that ive missed...

just noticed while watching the vid, that theres only 2 rows on the ammo counter, instead of 3 for the other guns...

Yeah I Can Agree With That.

The AR Was Good, But U Would Lose Ammo To Quickly And Well The Counter Was Cool, But Just Not My Kinda Weapon.

The AR will return, bungie has said "all the old guns will return,
but with some minor changes" or something like that. the AR will
return but will no longer be a primary mission starting weapon.
and i can bet it will have stronger rounds and be a bit mor accurate.
