It's not the assault rifle, it's its cousin, the MA2B.

I prefer the newer battle rifle, though i did enjoy the assault rifle, i just hope they give you a choice like you can switch to a short burst mode or to fully automatic.

No I hated the assault rifle the BR would mow it. I don't really like the idea of having a gun that is fully automatic and you have to be 2 feet from them to even hit them. If they have made it more accurate and even put a scope on it then fine otherwise no.

I think it looks more like a combo of the two, but maybe thats just me.

I think that they should put a scope on it, and accessing the scope zoom would automatically switch it from full auto to slightly more acuurate burst fire. Any objections?

from what I hear on rumaor network, It is going to be a combo of the Assualt and BR. which would be cool, especially when you getting swarmed and you have the fire rate of the AR.

If you want to see the MC die, play Legendary. If you want to see MC finish the fight, play Halo 3. If you want to see MC finish the fight by dieing, why did you waste six years when you could have done it yourself right now?

I noticed almost no resemblance between the BR. It looks exactly like an AR. The BR was modeled after the AR so maybe that's why they look alike.

Both. I voted yes. Battle Rifle does more damage.

OMG... What if they made it more accurate and made it single shot? omg that would pwn. It make it a more army feel and then they can get rid of the BR and the Carbine (if they wanted but i like both). oh and add a scope to the AR of course.

One of the first things i noticed is the AR in the Chiefs hands. i think its a good thing.

  • 05.10.2006 10:59 AM PDT

Doing what I can, with what I got.

Please, please, please Bungie bring the assault rifle back. It was just such a great gun.

It was bad enough that the needler lost something from Halo 1 to 2 but to take the wonderful AR was just too painful. It creates so much fun, which is what the game is about. With a 60 round clip and 10 mags to hold you felt you could do some real damage. It didn't make it easier, just made the battles more intense. The exhilaration of firing off 60 rounds into a screaming horde of flood or the back of a dead hunter is just so good I want to taste it again.

In the final level of Halo when the flood are attacking and you are firing round after round it's wildly exciting. It's because of the AR that I go back to Halo more than I do Halo 2. Ok the battle rifle might be more realistic but it just isn't as good a gun. Three round bursts weren't entertaining or as enjoyable. As for the SMG it sounded poor and having to correct it all the time became frustrating rather than a display of 'controlling skill'.

I buy the books and the soundtrack albums, I buy the special edition two discs games so please if you give me nothing else please bring back the assault rifle.

I'm guessing you say this because you are a sniper; the AR is needed because DWing SMGs really don't cut it ( but the DWing should stay in though, but only for weapons like the SMG ).
