Hi people,

I was wondering with the Assault Rifle being back in the Halo series will this also mean a shift in the balans of the weapons that we had in halo 2? Will the battlerifle that i personally love be replaced by the old assault rifle? With the assault rifle having no scope, will there be a new weapon to speak of... or will the almighty pistol come back in to view? or will the assault rifle and battlerifle live side by side? will the assault rifle become the new standard spawn weapon in multiplayer? and will the smg's fade away into history?

So many questions, no answers...

Myself, well i have a fealing in my gut that bungie will come up with new and improved human weaponry, not a pistol, not a battlerifle but something different, something special!
And don't forget about all the weapons the covenant, the flood, the sentinals etc etc will be taking with them...
Further more i think that the HUD will be completely different and innovating, so many games have stolen the HUD of halo and halo 2 it's time for something innovating, maybe 3D!?!? maybe they'll even integrate the video system that ghost recon 3 has.
And for plot, has nobody thought of the Master Chief and the Arbiter fighting side by side, co-op maybe?

Anyways, tell me what you think and maybe leave some feedback about my thoughts?

Thanks,

PureSpartan

"I'm 2OLD!"

From looking at the screenshots of the trailer and the storyboard pics, it seems that the BR and AR will be back in action. In all honesty they should bring them both back, to suit everyone. I am a big BR fan. It is easily my favorite weapon in the game. However, when playing good old Halo CE, I do realize how much I miss the AR......not to mention the pistol, but thats another story. So bring them both back Bungie.

On another note, do Halo fans really want to team up with the elites. If they are somehow on the human side, I would seriously miss fighting them. Brutes are ok but not as fun as fighting elites. Hopefully in the end it will be the MC against them all, they way it should be. What do you think?

same here I like to fight elites more then I like to fight brutes, but halo 3 is gonna be different anyways, maybe this time around it will be a lot more fun to see those apes scream :P
Maybe there will even be another species to fight, who knows...

So many questions, left unanswered? what are you talking about? These are all random questions you've thought up...as you know, the game isnt out for another year. THese are all very detailed/random questions to be asking at a time like this. An innovating HUD? that one is less detailed....why change what isnt broken?

Who is to say the AR is back in anyways? b/c the teaser shows an image of one? for a game not due for another year.

Dude, where's my sniper rifle?

Brutes weren't the only "bad guys" left at the end of Halo 2. Other Covenant forces were allied with them, so even if all the elites were to fight with the humans there would still be plenty of Covenant to fight. I also bet that there will be plenty of Forerunner droids to fight that will be protecting the installation.

What would be really sad, however, is if grunts were on the good side. They're so fun to plink off.

I am glad to have the Ar back, and i wouldnt want to see th BR go either, but the smg must die! It's strange to have it for a starting weapon...because its so weak and has recoil! Master Chief can lift tanks..so why does recoil affect him?
