Subject: How do you think the NEW AR will behave?

I thought the new AR looked amazing in the trailer, much more streamlined than in Halo 1. Assuming it won't be replacing neither the BR nor the SMG, how do you think the new AR will act differently from these weapons?

Personally, I'm hoping for something with a bit more punch than the BR, maybe with a bigger clip too, even if that means cutting down on range or accuracy.

I hope it will be alot like the Halo 1 AR. Like a combo of the BR and SMG.

i dont think it will be that different. It just looks "more streamlined" because of the new graphics and the new xbox. These new systems and such have a huge effect on the way that things look.

  • 05.09.2006 5:22 PM PDT

I figured the SMG was the replacement of the AR from Halo 1, and assuming the SMG is still in, Bungie will probably want to differentiate the new AR somehow.

Or maybe they just got rid of the SMG and made it the AR to stop people from dual wielding (can't really dual wield a rifle, now can you?)

  • 05.09.2006 5:23 PM PDT

I put on pants for this?

well obviously the new ar will not not behave exactly like the BR or the MA5B AR so i think you will be able to switch between full auto and 3 round burst or whatever amount of bullets they set it to. also i think from glancing at the picture of mc that it has no scope so that will probably make a difference in aiming.

I hope it will be a heavy machine gun with zoom capabilites. This has always been liked in other FPSs

  • 05.09.2006 5:34 PM PDT

Sigs are stupid.

I couldn't believe when i saw it! My first impression was "is that a BR or an AR?" the i saw the handle and freaked out! I'm so glad it's back but it probably kicks back like a SMG

Maybe the AR is pretty powerful now. Before I only used it when I ...1. Ran out of ammo for my Pistol :( or 2. Wanting to get some unsuspecting person their shields down a bit and finish them off with the Pistol

Maybe the AR should do the same damage as 2 dual-wielded SMG's, but provide a shorter clip to prevent the weapon from being too powerful, or maybe same clip size but less ammo laying around the maps or less AR's in the map and not as a starting weapon.

I think it will shoot like it did in the first Halo when out of scope and do short bursts when zoomed in.

  • 05.09.2006 5:39 PM PDT

You say tomato; I say potato.

i hope it is select fire.

I think Bungie probably doesn't even know how it's going to fire. Remember when they gave us the first glances at the BR it was burst fire unzoomed and single shot when zoomed. Chances are Bungie will add weapons on both the covie and human sides and there will be people who love and hate them all. Personally, I hope the new AR is just like the old AR. Plenty of bullets, very little recoil, and a nice simple melee swing.

I'm about 99% convinced that there will be no more Battle Rifle. I don't care how many of you little MLGers say that it is balanced.. but the amount of things that you can do with a 3 shot burst to take an unfair advantage in the game mechanics, such as the doubleshot. It's just not a very balanced weapon.

I would like to see the AR come back and replace the SMG for good. There would be no more SMG & PR dual wield mowing people down.

As far as a scope goes, they put a scope on the BR bcuz it was SemiAutomatic. They cannot put a Scope on an AR.. It just would be so mismatched. You would never want to touch another weapon on the map.

I'm also hoping that they increase grenade distances, back to what they were in Halo 1. Making Stickies much more difficult.

The AR should be teh same as in the first game. I have a feeling that bungie will be a little creative in starting weapons in Multi-player, putting the AR starting in small maps, and BR in large maps.

Elite 3000 was HERE >:)
Master Chief looked up at the Brute Captain, the Brute Captain looked up at him. Master Chief quickly aimed his rifle at the Brute's head and said, "LOLOLOL GTFO MY ROFLCOPTOR j00 N00b! LOL"

I hope the AR will have auto only because in Halo 1 when you tapped it, it shot a burst which made it more acurate and if someone got close you could blast'em! Hopefully the AR will have a good melee attack damage.

Halo CE > Halo 3 > Halo 2

Fix the Halo 3 BR spread, plz.

The AR should act more like a Chain gun and the SMG should be in there for dual wielding purposes.

I hope it will be like the AR from Halo 1, with a large clip, except pack a bit more damage into each round, and have a bit more accurate stream of bullets for mid-range. (NO MORE SMG PEA SHOOTERS!!!!!!!!)
