I find it curious that Halo 1, which had no Assault, had the Assault Rifle, which is not a rifle.

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

my BR owns



And running around with a mini-sniper pistol thats basically instant death for anyone in your path takes skill? PLLLEASE.


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.


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.


fair enough, i don't agree with what you said about the combo range though, i've seen that thing pulled off from some pretty impressive distanced. but it doesn't match the pistols range, i'll give you that.

Yeah, it's called the nub combo for a reason, only nubs use it! Personally I hate using it, it takes no skill, and it just pisses people off. To stay on subject, I think the assault rifle was kind of split into two guns, the SMG and BR.

Q. What do you get when you add 1 man, 1 car, and 1 rocket built for a jet?

A. A black smudge on the side of a cliff.

Just remember that this isn't exactly the same AR we all know and love. Frankie had said it himself. Check last week's update.

What are you on lol, the AR was pretty accurate, I've played both of the games.

dude, your off base of both points. the pistol could drop a person in 3 straight headshots. the br takes 4-5, depending on whether or not every round of the 3-shot burst hit's home. the smg from halo 2 has a much higher ROF, and as such walks upward. it also has no range, whatsoever. the AR from halo CE had more range, and a little more fire power. and whether or not people know this or not it was a great burst weapon.

Exactly Halo 2 made the power weapons even better, and the average now suck. Halo 2 is more fun than H2, mainly b/c of XBL. But, Halo 1 is a more skilled game.
