i love it. altho paraded with belittlement and name calling, the spray'n'pray of the AR is a fickle beast to master, but once down you find yourself spraying very little and always knowing you are kicking ass... especially against other ARs.

its a hellalotta fun as well.

The Ar kicks ass once mastered...it has more ammo then the BR...now dont get me wrong the Br is a kick ass weapon too but I always find myself going back to the good old Ar. THe Br has mor ekick to it and can take on legondary elites better. But the Are is good for any type of fighting...and any enemy you find your self fighting...and you are never usaly panicing for ammo if you us it right.

Like i keep sayin have the AR but asign one of the d-pad buttons so you can switch to burst shot or full automatic. I have nothing against the BR infact i love it so on the other hand give the BR the ability to go full auto. I mean after all guys real rifles can go from semi to full automatic. Do you see what im gettin at?

Just a thought; based on the way it fires its bursts now, if the H2 battle rifle went full-auto it would deplete very very quickly indeed and would also be incredibly powerful.

I see your points, but does the BR have a scope, and is it more accurate? Also, isnt it easier to kill easy-heroic elites with the BR?

The AR from HaloCE and the BR from Halo2 are totally different weapons. I don't think you can really compare them.
The scope on the BR is quality, making headshots easy. Also, the PP/BR combo is the most deadly in the game. The AR couldn't do the BR's job there. The BR does eat ammo very quickly though.
The AR was far, far better than that useless SMG.

Yeah the smg in the campain is useless unless you play on easy or heroic. But I really didn't like the Ar because I would always runout of ammo once the enemy's sheilds were down. By the time i reloaded they would have hidden and once I found them their sheilds were up again. So in halo combat eveolved I always used the plasma rifle.

Modders have automatic batle rifles and their ammo is depleted easily.

when did this become AR vs BR? i thought we were just saying how much the AR kicks ass. you have to lead your shots ever so slightly to be more effective. plus, its great in short bursts so that you dont have to reload before killing an enemy in campaign.

yes, the BR is more powerful than the AR, but thats the wrong comparison. pistol-br, ar-smg... but the AR has a way cooler model. thats for sure.
