Subject: Was that an Assault Rifle?

wow, there is hope after all. wouldnt it be great if the pistol was back too. then all these halo two noobs would feel the betrayl of bungie just like us halo 1 fans felt (what! no duel weilding??). long live the pistol! if you dont feel the same you suck and are not cool.

p.s. the new tool album IS cool so you should go buy it.

No it is not the AR, it looks more like a cross of BR and AR, the AR will not come back, it is an outdated human weapon.

What? Looks exactly like the AR...well more advanced actually.

I knew the whole BR to AR would cause confusion...

Maybe it's a CR? lol

in the storyboards master chief is holding the battle rifle so they might both be in the game
so with the battle rifle there is no need for the old pistol since(will in halo 2 the battle rifle only has a single shot/burst difference)


Battle rifle > H1 Pistol

why can it not be the AR? Maybe its become the standard issue firearm of the Army (Note I said Army here, The Marines are a special unit)

And if Earh has been ravaged by the Covenant...I can guess that theres gonna be some kind of resistance movement.

Look at an assult rifle, it DOES NOT have such a long muzzle and is chunkier in general.

  • 05.10.2006 2:22 AM PDT

Looks more like the AR to me. Boo-hoo for you, HaloCE haters. Halo 3 won't just be a clone of Halo 2.

Maybe the AR's were outdating and given to the army, cheif found a dead army dude and took his gun, seeing as he didn't look like he had a gun.

  • 05.10.2006 2:27 AM PDT

ok... the battle rifle is cool. but smg's? wtf is that all about. duel weilding? Seriously!!!

Definitely

  • 05.10.2006 2:28 AM PDT

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

Well it can't be the BR can it? No scope.

Weapons can get redesigned. The UNSC/ Bungie saw that the muzzle length was too small and caused inaccuracy and not enough velocity, so they upgraded.

  • 05.10.2006 2:28 AM PDT

It looks just like the assault rifle... even with its "longer muzzle"

I don't hate Halo, stupid -blam!- I am just pointing out the facts.

  • 05.10.2006 2:33 AM PDT

the fact is it looks like an assault rifle... no need to get you muzzle bent out of shape

screw the H2 weapons they sucked big monkey balls and the grenades were so weak they couldn't kill a grunt but the old school weapons were powerful and kicked ass

wtf dudes? how can it be outdated? the timespan over halos 1 2 and 3 is like 3 weeks, i doubt there has been a whole new arsenal of weapons since then.

PreGameLobby is a safe-haven for mature gamers of all types. Whether you're a hardcore, take-no-prisoners gamer or just a mild-mannered meat-shield, so long as you can be mature, PGL is the place for you. If you're looking to have fun and hang out with a great group of gamers, stop by PreGameLobby.com!

And in "The Fall of Reach" the Spartans did have their own custom variations of all the weapons. They're even mentioned in the beginning of Halo: CE. If you listen to the technician, he says "We'll have to get YOUR weapons later" after Captian Keyes tells him to send you to him. Maybe we'll finally get to use these Spartan engineered weapons?

I still say its the standard issue firearm of the Army and Chief has just picked one up...As for a a longer gun bit at the front, who really cares...its still an Assault Rifle!

Read the books.....for god sake, it says in them that the Battle rifle was the new standered issue as it was more powerful, more accurate, therefore AR is outdated, hence why it is not in Halo 2.

I suppose you think MC is the last Spartan too eh?
