if you look at the video, you can clearly tell that there is absolutley NO scope on the AR and it looks the same way it always has. alot of people have forgot what the AR looked like and mistook it in this video for some crazy new gun. im sorry to dissapoint you guys... but its just the AR...

Wow! he's right! thats really remarkable i never would have expected bungie to listen to peoples cry's for the AR back but apparently they did. But lets not jump to any conclusions until we see some multiplayer footage or gameplay info. :)

i'm just so happy halo3 is coming out!! :)

So it begs the question as to whether or not the AR is in fact going to replace the SMG. That, or just become another weapon to choose from. Its much too big to duel wield. I wonder how that is going to work.

If the AR is back then DW will be in for some changes. I guess they'll drop the SMG's which could be a good thing. BR and AR starters, jsut like h1 slayer pro. If only.................

Well, it could be a super AR.

I.E. They have it do rapid fire like it used to back in H1 but have a zoom feature that allows for single bursts. Sort of like the original H2 preview.

Heres a new theory, they didnt take the br or any weapon out of the game, they just reintroduced the good ole AR back into the game.

Seems to me that someone nearing the destruction of the world would use every weapon at their desposal to make dents, not just the new fancy BR and stuff but anything they can get their hands on. scavaging weapons

I'm just super happy to see the AR back in. I hope they use it more like a light machine gun, or give it a helmet linked scope similar to the Halo:CE pistol, that was cool and futuristic, unlike the BR.

Bungie is the best, they have been listening to their fans from day one and I'm sure they will continue. I hope they do conquer the world because at least then our government would listen to its consituents.

Yes dragon x I think that you might be right, and if you are, then that is awsome because I like the br.

If its really true then im glad to see it back, it may not be as percise as the BR, but it packs a punch.

You know, I really don't care whether or not it replaces something; I'm just happy its back.

EDIT:

So, what is the AR's HUD going to track now with no gas giant anywhere in sight? The direction north? That'd be pretty interesting if the levels get complex enough.

Im sorry to say it has no scope yes but the accuall assault rifle has no scope. Besides it doesnt look exactly like the last one I know because I go back and play the first halo every now and then. They renderd this one diffrently and they added more texture to it. ITs not exactly the same. IT has more cornerd edges like a real assault rifl. The old one is more cartoonish.
