It's an Assault Rifle genius.


This guy has obviously never played the Original Halo..


What the point of playing the games if your not actually going to follow the story?

It looks exactly like the Assualt rifle, only more silver....thats it..maybe you can have both Halo 1 and 2 weapons in the game, since all of earth's forces are at play, and maybe they all arent using the Br...

As much as it looks like the AR, I don't think they'd bring it back 100%. Why wouldn't it just be a new gun? A cross somewhere between the BR and AR, or like the BR was early in development, with single shot while scoped and auto fire in normal view.

Just because it has the AR skin doesn't mean it's been resurrected.

It's the Assault rifle. An added knob doesn't change a gun completely.

It's like saying, "Took the scope off my sniper. Guess it's a Thompson."

k just to make sure where im looking is at the very top i dont think its the ar for one reason if yu look at the veyr back of the gun (the part yu wuld rest against yur shoulder) it seems to be hollowed out whereas the ar isnt.

Ok, for anyone who has played you would know the AR did not have an extending barrel. The one that is shown the the trailer is NOT the original AR, it is changed. It looks a tad bit slimmer and the barrel is elongated quite a bit... In the concept art, in one of the pics the mc is holding a br, not an AR.

A) Concept art is from before the final decisions. They could've changed it.

B) So what if the barrel is elongated a bit? There are lots of variations of common guns out there.

well it is true that the possibility of bringing in a new firing method for the AR does exist... but if you guys look closely.... ITS JUST THE AR. its not some crazy new BR/AR hybrid thingy. im pretty sure half of the guys wouldnt know what an AR looks like because your minds were twisted by halo 2. again, its just the AR. if you dont believe me, compare this to the halo 3 teaser:

You forget Halo 1 had horible graphics compared to Halo 2 and 3. Maby it is just upgraded because the graphics have been upgraded. Ever think of that?

You guys are seriously stupid if you think it is a new gun. IT IS NOT!!!!!! It is just a re-render of the original AR from Halo

uhm just to make this clear iim not saying from the trailer im saying the toolbar at the top of the halo 3 section look at the gun the mc is holding it is obvisouly a different image not from the trailer set against a background that is from the trailer.

isn't it possible that this gun is the AR but with more detail, with the new system maybe they could finally put in the detail they wanted originally.

Its the AR but with a scope and maybe different firing modes so it maybe a combantion of the two. I hope so anyway because bringing back old weapons isn't fun it just shows that you are too lazy to make a new one.

The MC image is from the trailer. Look at 1:42 through 1:50. That is the same pose. I think it is probably just zoomed in. But since the trailer was done in real-time, they could have moved the view to take screenshots.

It is the same gun, anyways. Look closely at the gun in the trailer. 1:43 gives you probably the best view of the back end.

When they make a new game with better graphics, they change the rendering. Sometimes little things are changed. If you want a good example, compare the flood in Halo 1 and 2. Due to the better graphics, they look different. Especially the carrier forms.

It looks as though they had a Battle Rifle in the original concept but decided to take it out the trailer and put the Assault Rifle in it instead.
