What is that gun MC is holding going to be called? It looks like a mix between the Assult Rifle and Battle Rifle. If this has been answered already please just leave a link then lock this.

I was thinking maybe you can switch between full automatic fire and 3 shot burst or single shots. That would be awesome.

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

Full auto and inncaurate like the SMG, and use your visor's scope (like for H1's pistol) to utilize your 3 shot burst like a BR. =D

Letting the player change his setting manually would change the gameplay too much...
On a side note, anyone download the demo for LOST PLANET on the Marketplace?? It's sweet =D

Maybe they'll throw in both the assault rifle
AND
the battle rifle.

Put more power and less range into the assault rifle
and maybe a bit more range and the same accuracy into the battle rifle
to make them different enough to be put into the same game.


And to me,
it looked like a fine, genuine assault rifle in the trailer.

I am from Mars, that is why I wear red and was issued the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/M variant helmet, was also issued the experimental version of the Camo unit, that is why i have the Recon shoulder. I excel at CQB, hence the CQC shoulder. I have trained extensively with operation of vehicles therefore the armor on my left side is more substantial and the GPS navigator. the ODST chest is because I was embedded with a unit from the 105TH for 7 SpecOP missions, I have a great respect for them

no is just the Plane ol' ASSAULT RIFLE!!!! HELL YAAAEEEEHHHHH!!

No matter what you do in life, you will disappoint someone.
No matter what you say, you will offend someone.
No matter what you think, someone will think you're an idiot.

Find and eliminate these people.

You mean other than one of them looking far more graphically brilliant, right?

That looked like a plain Assault RIfle. I didn't see anything that looked like the battle Rifle.

Hopefully both are in Halo 3. And hopefully the BattleRifle is upgraded to be the equivilent of Halo 1's pistol.

(1 Assault rifle kills faster than 2 SMG's. fun fact.)

It looked like a Honest-to-God Assault to me. Bungie, if you bring back the Assault Rifle, I will be so happy!

We need the assault rifle back... I don't see how it could be that inacurate in Halo 1... it's a bull-pup and MC can flip a tank... it should be very accurate. But it's a game...

How about SMG with a larger reticle for close range, AR with better accuracy for Medium Range, and a BR that has an expanding reticle for long range? BR kills SMG, SMG kills AR, and AR kills BR?

By the way, Chief is holding an AR.

We all know it's back, we are just wondering how it's going to change or is it going to change at all

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

I think that...

....The Assault rifle should be brought back, just like it was in Halo 1 but make it more innacurate...

To make up for the innacuracy when being shot fully auto, MC has a scope he utilizes from his visor (like the Halo 1 Pistol), and the New Assault rifle will shoot Burst fire mode like in Halo 2...

..Remove the SMG entirely..

..Keep Dual Wielding in..

..Make the Magnum kill in 11 shots rather than 134..

...Keep the original Pistol out of the game...
