Yes,I do love the noise that the Assult rifle makes,I can see why they had to take it out of halo 2,you can't really hold 2 rifles and the SMG's are cool.I was angered when there was no pistol with the scope(my best gun by far).Why not just have 1 pistol with a scope that can't be duel welded and 2 pistols without scopes that can?

They said it was a modified AR, so it's not exactly back. Oh and it was in Halo 2, I think I said this already. THE SMG!!! Different skin, same effect.

no the smg was not a 're-skinned' AR. the ROF is very diffferent, and the AR had a more effective range.

  • 06.02.2006 11:07 AM PDT

Yeah the range would be about it. Besides that it is not "very" different. They are both semi-automatic spray bullets weapons.

Well they are not semi-automatic are they. They are automatic. Guns such as the carbine and pistol are semi-automatic.

lemme break it down for ya:

halo 1 was more of a.........skillz game if u will. someone had the sniper? no problem, you have one too in the form of pistol. the maps were designed so that it was based on how your level of play matched up w/ someone elses


now halo 2 is a weapons game. its pretty much "lets see who can get the sniper and rockets the fastest? the maps were designed for some ppl to excel and others to just suck. take lockout for example. everytime i play there i get bent over. ivory tower? time for YOU to grab your ankles

me, im more of a wide open kinda playa. that close quarters stuff can suck my black.........u know

They are semi-automatic. That's when bullets get let out as long as you hold the trigger. Automatic weapons release the entire clip if the trigger is depressed once.

No, semi auto means for each trigger pull, the gun fires one shot. Automatic means the guns keeps firing untill you stop pulling the trigger.

The best weapon is back for more kills, and the pistol as his partner, that right

Everything will be gone long before me. When the first living thing was born, I was here, waiting. When the last living thing dies, my job is finished. I'll put the chairs on the tables, turn out the lights and lock the universe behind me when I leave.

Why would it be for noobs if it's a "spray and pray"? Wouldn't a noob weapon be a weapon that takes almost no skill to kill someone? Like the sword or something. And at least there was some range in it, unlike the pea shooter, SMG.

You know the assault rifle was the only gun from halo1 I like to see back. Don't get me wrong but a pistol that can beat a sniper is a little to unrealistic.

with the pistol you actually had to aim, and lead your target. i bet you consider the BB/PP a skilled combo. that's even more cheap than the 1st pistol.

In a way isn't the smg a type of assault rifle even though master chief could hold onto 600 bullets for the assault rifle, both are machine guns and shoot really fast

No the nub combo takes as much skill as shooting a rocket at a warthog does. The auto-aim your talking about is Bungie's fault for adding it in not the guns fault. Not like its sooo difficult to shoot at a moving target without it.

I would take the nub combo over pistol only because it works at only a set range. I wish both never return though, they were unbalanced and cheap.
