It must be a combination of the AR and the BR the AR did not have a muzzle, calm down peeps.

For every action, there is an equal and opposite airstrike.

It is the AR...redesigned...

Or, it's a MA2B, a stripped down Assault Rifle, from the books.

The AR did have a muzzel, I mod HaloPC and I have edited that model a ton of times.

I think it is an AR/BR mix. Whatever it is, it looks TIGHT!

It would make sense for there to be the old Halo 1 weapons in Halo 3. It's not like the UNSC would just say, "Hey! We got new weapons! Lets just destroy all the old guns we made!" I'd like to see the return of some Halo 1 favorites, such as the MA5B and the 'ol Pistol. Plus I'm looking forward to seeing some of the new weapons, vehicles, and characters.

Seriously, don't take me seriously.

Underground Pleasure - aren't you a bit curious?

Yeah...it looks like party of the AR and BR

Yeah it's not a scope peeps, just the ammo display from the original. And the MA5B DID have a muzzle.

I <3 AR

Now we just have to wait and see if we can spot an M6D anywhere in the future updates....

whoever said the ar in the trailer had a scope is wrong its the ammo indicator, if you pause slowly you can see it, and the muzzle is only lightly longer, which might be controled bursts but until weapons info comes out, who knows, but i originally said the ar would be back cus thered be no way the UNSC could refit all military stations with the new br, but lets not rule out the br, it may be back, wouldnt that be great a br and a ar, co existing, man i think i need a new pair of pants after that thought

No, it's still the MA5B. It had a muzzle, just a short one. You can see it pretty well in pictures of it.

  • 05.09.2006 2:34 PM PDT

You say tomato; I say potato.

the ma5b assualt rifle has always had a muzzle.

I too thought It was the AR and was hoping so. But then I took a closer look and yea. Its not exactly the same look at the old AR. maybe its modified AR.. Hmmm Im thinking rapid fire like the AR from halo one But also a single shot zoom. I dont know.

I hope the Battle Rifle is still in, both are brothers of destruction. Its your style, goin' in automatic, or pickin off silently from a distance.

It depends which style you are. I'm a bit of both.

I love you AR.........ok, that was a little weird.....I <3 AR!!!!

  • 05.09.2006 2:38 PM PDT

the folks at bungie are probably sitting back reading this and laughing their arses off. So much speculation.....it's probably none of the above.

Hopefully it just means that this is the new automatic bullet hose and that dual wielding has been removed.

  • 05.09.2006 2:43 PM PDT

Lag, it's like magic, only better.

I think it is the AR or a slightly modified version. If this is in the future, where the humans have lost most of the Earth, clearly MC isn't going to get new stuff, he's not gonna have to make due with what's still available, older equipment and whatnot.

hmmmm.

that's an interesting take on things.

If things are so "chaotic" then MC may have to grab a few weapons from H1 to get by.....

Ok

Here's a pic of the teaser showing the full AR/BR/??:
