Subject: Assault Rifle or BR?

In the trailer it looks like the chief is carrying the old-school assault rifle. I like the way it looks but function wise the BR is far better. I hope that whatever human rifle is in the game it acts more like the BR than the AR.

It might be a cross of both BR and AR

Hopefully the new AR will be a cross between the old AR and the BR.

It should be more accurate and have the option of switching between full automatic fire and 3 round bursts.

My opinion is that it is a BR, ajusted so that the top and bottom resemble that of the AR and has similar functions to our old favourite. If you look closed at it in the trailer, you see that is does actually have three parts to the gun, light grey top, darker grey body like that of the BR and a black underbelly. Also, these 'parts' seem to have bolts to them not seen in the original AR possibly holding them together. The whole gun seems smaller too. Bungie said they wanted to strive for more realism, so bringing back the AR might challenge that. However most weapons these days can be heavily modified to suit whatever situation. By doing it this way, both them and their fans get what they want.

Lets just hope bungie doesnt screw it up like so many other games before it and add things like second functions to guns. I want the AR personally, it was good in all situations and was way better then the smg.

Hopefully, it would be sweet if you can switch between the two weapons. In close combat switch to AR, in a distance fight switch to BR. I know of some game that have weapon with more then one function.

Gamer news by gamers - www.news4gamers.com

going by the storyline, cheif has come to a beaten planet so he may scrounge what ever he can get.

Both the BR and the AR will be in Halo3, theres millions of both still lying around. As well as the pistols O.O

  • 05.10.2006 7:30 AM PDT

Get rid of crap SMG and replace it with the AR while keeping BR. Though if we have to scrounge for weapons, all options might be available, even the good ol' pistol?

To be clear, it wasn't a hybrid gun. It's been years since we've seen the MA5B Assault Rifle in action. Things change.

Even though I'm a huge lover of the pistol, I really don't want old weapons in a new game. Let bungie mind work wonders; let them make some new weapons. If I remember correctly he was on a forerunner ship, maybe he has some of their weapons. Just a thought.

And with the better graphics, they can detail the weapons better so they will look a little different that you remember.

I dont know why, but I would rather not see the MA5B in the game. I like the BR55 best.

No, it is the original AR, but what should happen is make the BR like an M1 carbine, 5.56 mm, weak but accurate, (add the scope with a semi auto feature while zoomed in) and make the AR like a Thompson, powerful but relatively inaccurate and a moderate firing rate. Finally use the SMG's like an UZI, inaccurate and weak, but with a fast cyclical rate.

That sounds good except for your comparison to the M1. if anything, it should model the M4 carbine used today. it would boast above average acuracy with the scope, good penetrating power and lightweight and easy to aim.
