I been wondering is the Assualt Rifle still in Halo 2 or did Bungie take the Assualt Rifle away? I've been hearing all kinds of stuff about the SMGs, Battle Rifle, Plasma Sword, Plasma Rifle( not sure), Needler, Human and Covenant Sniper Rifle, and Shotgun. But Bungie never talked about the Plasma Pistol or Assualt Rifle. U get the point but I like the Assualt Rifle and old weapons too as we all do yeah I know the Battle Rifle is a Sniper Rifle and Assualt Rifle put 2gether to make one but I just want 2 know is the old weapons going to be in Halo 2?

Through war we will teach your heresy.
Through battle we will teach your frailty.
Through death we will teach your fate.

The rocket launcher, sniper rifle, needler, plasma rifle, plasma pistol, and shotgun are definately in. Besides that...who knows.

Considering that the Battle Rifle has three-round bursts and the SMG has the Assault rifle's old reticle, I think it's safe to say that it is gone.

The Assault Rifle and Pistol is in the Battle Rifle.
Bungie just put both weapons together to make it easier for us.

The assault rifle became the battle rifle, all they did is add a scope and slow down the rate of fire, other than that its the same gun.

Now, what we're missing is something like the M249.... a heavy support suppression gun.

Shady88 I just wrote that on this tread I know what the Battle Rifle is but they should have Pistol and Assualt Rifle in Halo 2 I think some people might like different weapons then others do and I just think they should put all the old weapons and new weapons together. And will we have the Flamethrower and Covenant Rocket Launcher(Plasma Launcher)?

I read somewhere that the spartans start the Multiplayer demo with Assualt rifles and human grenades, and the elites start with Plasma rifles and plasma grenades. I may be wrong, though. But, their is no reason to remove the pistol or assualt rifle. They both offer unique experiences that you won't retain by cramming the two together. Same with the smg, which apperently is pretty useless from far range. Atleast with the assault rifle you can kill medium distance targets.

Of course there is an Assault Rifle in Halo 2, they've even said that all old weapons will be there plus new ones.

In the recent gamespot hands-on article they mention how cool the mele attack is with the assault rifle. They could be refering to the battle-rifle, but I dont think so, so im pretty sure the assault rifle is in. Heres the quote:
We especially liked the attack animation with the standard assault rifle, which Spartans used to deliver a walloping uppercut.

From what I've heard the Pistol may not be in, the Flamethrower is definitely not from what I've read. Although whose to say the Fuel Rod Gun won't make it in, it was in the PC version...

The new Battle rifle essentially doubles as the Pistol (as has already been stated) and frankly I thought the Pistol was a little too well rounded (as I've stated in a previous post), and I think Bungie may have picked up on that. As for how this new Battle Rifle plays out, guess we'll just have to wait and find out.

The SMG sure looks like it'll be the succesor to the marine Rifle, maybe even with a tighter spread this time. I really didn't like the marine Rifle, I thought it was a complete waste of a gun, it was somewhat useful at close range but other then that...

Solid just read my signature quote. Also Bungie stated in many instances that ALL of the old weapons are coming back. So just rely on that and don't listen to the arrogance and ignorance of the local human populace. They generally only have ideas, not concrete evidence to support their claims.

The assault rifle is in the game. It's called the Battle Rifle.
