Thank you bungie for putting the AR back in Halo. Hopefully this means no SMG. Br and Ar will be great setup. Even beter would be Pistol and AR but I guess I can settle with Br/Ar.

Fix the Halo 3 BR spread, plz.

This is really awesome. Hopefully the BR would be more like the pistol, though. How about no more burst fire?

Back in my day we didn't have no fancy lasers, and the hogs were indestructible!

I hope you can dual the AR pwnage!

yes AR is back and i like the new look of it more tech., sorry to go off topic but KaiserKarlZoso bungie can stop standbyers and hold modders off longer than halo2 did and the bridging problem can be fixed so easily.

I'm happy to : )


Though I hope they keep the SMG for gameplay balancing (I know everyone hates that phrase).

One SMG = 1 firepower
Dual SMG's = 2 fire power
AR = 1.5 fire power, but you can melee and throw grenades

So you have to ask yourselt, do you want be able to fire more bullets or throw grenades? Then someone grabs the rocket launcher and it dosn't matter anyway.

Lets hope the 360 version won't be hackable. Bungie please release all maps at once so there are no downloads needed that can be changed or modded.
I can not wait. AR +BR. The magnum will stay the same and you may still even have an SMG.
OHHHH, imagin a gun that can toggle between 3 shot burst and full auto. SICK!!!

My theory on it is that since the Earth is so destroyed and taken over and what not by Covie that MC had to find an old weapons cache and there you go. He had to pull out the AR. But I would miss my BR, I love it, love it with a passion. I like it more than the old pistol but I still love the old pistol with a passion.

Woot the AR is back. Although it was considered a piece of crap back in the day it took the real piece of crap SMG to show us just how good we had it with that close quarters side armament (kinda odd with the rifle being for close range and pistol for long range).

Well Hopefully this is the real deal and the AR is back. Who knows maybe they made it less spammy or gave it head shot damage to counter plasma freeze.

*Gasp* Well If they are trossing in the old AR then maybe there is a chance of plasma redemption with freeze and heavy hitting (and less PP tracking)

What would be nice if you could dual wield them. But he drops one on reload. oh yeah with single weapons you should be able to shoot and throw grenades at the sametime. it only makes since because that hands is doing nothing anyway. Maybe be the toss could take longer.

It kinda looks like its both of them combined maybe its like a battle rifle but full auto, or single shots.

it didnt look 100% AR, more of a combo between BR and AR- dont worry plasma pistol will be back, so will modders, bridgers and yes- even the classic standbyers - KaiserKarlZoso

Dude, Are You Retarded?? BUNGIE Will Have Dedicated Servers This Time Around.. For Those Of You Which Don't Know What This Is, Its Where BUNGIE Is The Host And However Fast Your Connection Is Is How Laggy The Game Is. No More Modders Because There Is No Built-In Hard-Drive To Hold Modified Files. No More Stand-Byers, Because If They Try They Will Just Lag Themselves Out Because Again BUNGIE Is The Host, And Not One Of The Players, And No More Bridgers Because Again BUNGIE Is The Host Of EVERY Match..

I wouldnt go that far, yes the AR is good. MAN I CANT WAIT!

I wonder which would win first. If both players attacked each other with AR and BR at same time. The fast auto AR , or the Semi BR.
