Flash Kicks beat Armor Lock.

Assault Rifle should be replaced with this:

1.5x Scope
20-35 round clip
RoF about equal to an AR
Recoil, not Bloom

14 rounds to kill Shields
6 rounds to kill Health (non-head)
3 rounds to kill (head)

So, you could kill up to 2 people per clip (if clip was 35) with some left over rounds to spare.

Discuss.

Great in close because of the rate of fire and strength, small clip to limit its power, but also usable for ranges outside of CQC but not on the level of the DMR.

Although this iteration of the Assault Rifle might have a tough time competing with the Magnum.

Agreed. I like this because I think that the assalut rifle is too much as a " Weak " weapon and it NEEDS to be modified.

Nope. Everything other than the dmr and power weapons should be useless.

Ever wonder what's up there?

Iron sights FTW.

I'd like to have the ODST SMG in Matchmaking though.

Probably Reach's. A precision CE AR would be scary in CQC and the faintly extended mid-range.

i dunno, it could make for an intersting weapon, it could be something to replace the grenade launcher..

The 343 forums suck. They're full of retarded kids and mods who got butthurt in the B.net forums for being told that they're bad.

20 bullets to kill without a headshot would be too slow. and very ammo-consuming.

Plus, with the spread on the AR, random headshots would be worse than random DMR headshots.

with recoil the spread would be different, the bullets will go where you are aiming but the recoil throws your aim off.

bungie has proven that a bunch of monkeys sitting in front of keyboards can randomly type out a masterpiece. the thing is, when you go to play the masterpiece, you cant help but notice all the monkey s**t smeared all over it.

it gets real old having to wait months for someone like mlg to clean off all the monkey poo.

yep. it would be wonderful to continually swipe a solid stream of bullets over someone potentially killing them faster with body shots then a dmr can kill with headshots.

you gotta love those random headshots as you are zigzagging your crosshair all over their upper chest, and props on completely changing halo's unique instant kill headshots into every other game's generic 200% damage headshots. and having enough bullets to instantly (<1 second) deshield 4 people back to back just seals the deal.

SSMG with no silencer and a boatload of less suck?

Sure. I could get behind that.

But right now the rest sandbox needs to not suck against the precision weapons outside of midrange.

Smaller reticle with recoil.

Headshots would not be random.

Very much true. That's why this still has power in CQC. So that it can at least hold ground against a DMR at shorter mid-ranges, but if you step into close range it can drop you in 20 fairly quickly.

If the AR was molded into such a weapon I would be happy rather than adding a new weapon into the exsisting sandbox.

I mean, the AR's reticule stays red (indicating it's optimal range) at a fair distance. But it's lack of punch kills it.

I did say that this weapon should replace the Assault Rifle.

Hi.

Wait... wouldn't this make automatic weapons require somewhat of a brain to use?

I dunno, man. Sounds scary.

Herp derp, I fail at reading.

Not sure about replacing the AR.

It's an iconic weapon of the Halo series.

Though H4 may do that.

Not weak. Not powerful. Useful. But requires a thought process!

Just no. This is not Call of Duty. People like the OP are what is killing Halo.

Why would shields take equal hits as health? Projectiles do less damage to shields and vice versa with plasma weapons. Make it like 14 shots to take shield down and 6 more shots to kill.

It was simply a beginning variable to work with.
