Does anyone else feel like the assault rifle is too short range and underpowered in the halo games? Hopefully they will beef it up a little bit in halo 4. Does anyone else agree??
And wouldnt you want to have back up iron sights on the rifle just in case? jw

Iron Sights has never been part of the Assault Rifle in Halo, although in the books, it is said that it could be added to it for the Marines.

Oh and yes, it does seem inaccurate, I loved it in Halo 3. 16 rounds for a kill is how it's meant to be.

I would like to see it be a little more accurate. I should be able to burst fire from a medium distance and be able to do some damage to my target without half of it missing.

agreed. i mean as the standard issue weapon fir the UNSC it should do wayy better than an M4 from today.

Now that's just gameplay. In the books, The Assault Rifle is incredible!

I think the gameplay dictates that a full-auto cant be too powerful or too accurate, shame really as the H1 AR is absolutely terrible despite how amazing it looks and sounds.

Major C.B.

Two words: Disciplined fire. I can take down a DMR mid-range with an AR in Reach. It definitely has a bite.

Yeah, when I spawn with the AR I feel like Im immediately in danger of someone with something better

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

Meh. I liked it a lot in Halo 3 and CE. It's okay in Reach.

  • 06.21.2011 1:14 PM PDT

it should be slightly better you'd think that the weapon you spawn with should at least be a good general purpose weapon

See you on the bounce, trooper.

Bungie has a long history of making assault rifles needlessly inaccurate. Although I thought the reach iteration was a lot more accurate using burst fire, at least compared to the older versions.

Brains beats brawn get used to it

Death to all fanboys.

If you fire it at the right pace, the AR in Reach can stand up to the DMR at mid-range. So I'd say it's accurate. Now the assault rifle in Halo CE....No amount patience can ever make that thing fire accurately with every well paced single shot or burst.
