I am a member of h2sucks.com. I have noticed that the assault rifle is making a possible comeback in Halo 3.

I think I speak for h2sucks.com when I say, "Thank you very much." It has been a great relief over at h2sucks.com to see that you, Bungie, have restored a part of Halo 1's traditional classic feeling to Halo 3. The absence of the AR from Halo 2 has been the cause of long and tormenting debates on the h2sucks.com forum, and that argument has even plagued b.net several times. Now that argument shall starve and die. And so shall h2sucks.com's Bungie-bashing.

They may not want to apologize for bashing in the past...but I will represent them and say "We apologize for the crap we have tossed at you." It was our fault that we judged you too quickly and assumed that Halo 3 would not seem good at first. It seems we were wrong after all. IT has brought great appreciation to the many members of h2sucks.com to see that Bungie has brought back a souvenir from halo 1 to place in the third game. They may not individually thank Achronos or the rest of Bungie for revealing this feature to us...but like I said, in this thread I am representing h2sucks.com. Pretend that my apology and "thank yous" are those of h2sucks.com and not just myself. They may not want to show their thanks...but believe me, they are happy campers over there. :)

So, everyone, all together...THANKS FOR T3H RETURN OF THE ASSAULT RIFLE, BUNGIE!

Sorry that I didn't put this in the original "thank you" thread. I felt the need to make a separate thread because, well...this thread shows that another site is grateful that a piece of their favorite game is reappearing. They have all been reassured that Bungie cares not only about fans, but about those who criticize, and that is a big commitment on Bungie's part; very rarely will someone listen to another that bashes him/her. You have also shown us, Bungie, that you still do care about your older games, Halo in particular. :) That is good to know. Can't wait for the next update.


Goodnight, and h2sucks.com gives their thanks!

Although this will probably be deleted, and not to mention we will be flamed like hell, amen brother.

If only that damned M6D fell into MC's hands with it...but I doubt it will.

youre assuming it will have the same mechanics as the original, and it's possible BRs and SMGs will still be in there for logical reasons.

maybe its sort of a hybrid "CR" Combat Rifle, like a mix between BR/AR with six-burst or more accurate automatic fire. Personally i don't think the H1 AR could compete in multi against the guns we have now, especially with dual wielding.

wow, you seriously need a life....your part of a club thats ONLY perpose is to make fun of a video game? Seriously man, if you dont like it, dont play it. And another thing, do you honestly think that anyone at bungie is going to read your post? Or even care that some random group of people "aprove" of their choices? I doubt it...

I thank Bungie because I appreciate the fact that they have not forgotten about Halo 1. I was not being a suck-up. I am not kissing anyone's ass. The apology was for all the bashing that h2sucks.com has done, and I was part of it. I was not sucking up. I have even deleted all my Bungie-bashing threads on h2sucks.com, and have sent numerous apologies to Bungie in the past, and have even stopped debating about balance issues in Halo 2.
Plain and simple, I was saying thank you because a lot of us are overjoyed to see that some oldskool will play a part in halo 3.

LOL, I do not need a life. Nor do you. Hell we don't even know each other.
It's not a club. It's a site, and I'm trying to change its attitude toward Bungie.

You are a narrow-minded fool. They did not create H2Sucks to "make fun of a video game". It's there because Halo 1 felt like a much more professional, precision-based game, where the slightest wrong movement could lose the fight. Halo 2 is a lot more toned down, yet still requires some amount of skill to play. Read up on things before you diss them. And no, i'm not starting a CE vs. 2 war here, i'm just stating to this guy what the website is about.

"You must face the truth squarely and without flinching from duty. Our enemies are mortal no longer. Mercy for such as they is a chimera, self-deception is its only ally. Dedicate this weapon, given unto your hand at the behest of the Emperor, to their destruction. Regard its function as your only duty: you live only to bring cleansing fire."

honestly, i really dont think bungie cares about what h2sucks.com ses, nor your apologies... i'm sure they apreciate them but i dont think they are going to go out of their way to reply to you and say "thank you so much for not hating us anymore and deleting all of your heretical threads. congratulations, you have become a drone like the rest"

but i respect you still :)

It's called Halo 2 "sucks". No explanation is needed about what they're mission is; it's painfully obvious.

I think I threw up a little in my mouth when I saw the AR. I hope they bring back the dandelion gun as well.

Also, when are you guys changing the site to halo3sucks.com?

People here will insult you if you say you are from H2S.com. Or atleast the morons will. I think Halo2 is okay and I am a member of that site just because I think halo1 is supirior to halo2. I bet if he just said that he liked the trailer and bla bla bla he would not have been flamed if he hadn't said he was from H2S. I don't see why the bungie fanboys go crazy over a site that does nothing but talks about the flaws of halo2 and how it could be improved. Ofcourse there are some bad apples in the community like there are in all communities.

Geez, at least be consistant. Just because they have what LOOKS like the old Assault Rifle you're kissing their ass. If the Chief had been holding a Halo Pistol then I bet you would have tried to make love to Frankie. My point is, you and your brethren bashed Bungie, said they were sellouts, -blam!-ed about just every little thing in Halo 2, and generally were a bunch of -blam!-s. Now you've come back apologizing, when we all know as soon as the game comes out you and your buddies are going to start up halo3sucks.com. I am not Bungie, and cannot speak for them, but as someone who has great respect for Bungie and their games, I would like to say one thing. Apology not accepted.

So you are against people stating their oppinions? Are you a communist? We don't care if bungie cares...We are just basically saying, "Good job with the trailer." and you go, "ZomG its tEh Halo2sux.com cluBz!11"

Here is one person I am talking about. He doesn't like people talking about flaws in the game? Only the bad apples of the community bashed Bungie. I don't, I like Halo2 and all of their games infact! We did state that bungie sold out because the tried to make the games easier to play so people of all ages could pick up the controller and start 4 shotting people with the BR. We did say that, that is a flaw, one that we disscussed.
