[22:08] [JohnHoward:] The Halo 1 pistol wasn't a mistake...
[22:08] [JohnHoward:] It was also intended to be the ultimate hold out weapon...
[22:09] [JohnHoward:] I always believe that balance is about giving each weapon / ability / whatever it's own perfect situation.

I voted AR because I'd love to see CS/PDZ style burst firing included in H3.

There are many threads similar to this one, BTW.

I voted Battle rifle because it would win 2/3 of the time.

(10:20:17 PM) Pezza: You were the one with the video camera breathing heavily. Of course you saw.

I like both of them.

The assault rifle would win close and medium range battles, because that's what it was meant for. Any long range battle would be made into a close or medium range battle cue to a very simple tactic called "hiding from a superior enemy". Just like a strategic retreat, no one recognizes this as a tactic and calls you a newb for using it.

An more power full assalut rifle would be nice because the armor in halo2 is way better that halo CE's but still keep the br and smg because the assalut riffle should be as power full as dual weilding smgs so it would be like a machine gun. And plus the humans need more weapons anyway same with driveable vechicles. But i love the Assault Rifle it was awesome but if they update it a little it could be superb.

the br would win in close, mid, and long...if its close the guy with the br can just bxr or bxb, mid range...hmm 4 shot...rrxyyrrx...then there is long range the assault rifle has no chance. The BR is so much more a skill weapon than AR..so i choose BR

Its actually assault ...but thats ok if you make fun of people and your wrong...

Team Fatality FTW!

personally, i like both of them equally alike. even though the battle rifle looks cooler, i think that the assault rifle is more powerful. i like the assault rifle because it has an automatic fire and not like a three-round burst like the battle rifle. in halo 3, i would like to have the assault rifle back but put a scope on it(the scope on the battle rifle will be fine). that way i won't get killed easily because every time i use the battle rifle, it has to pause and then fires again. the assault rifle with the scope will allow me to zoom and can hit the enemy from far away better and i won't have to stop in the middle when i'm killing the enemy. don't get me wrong. i like both rifles equally. i like the assault rifle because it has an automatic fire and i like the battle rifle because of its cool look and for its scope. in halo 3, put the scope on the assault rifle from halo 1 and then modify it to make it look cool. it can be called Bassult Rifle!

Battle Rifle>Assualt Rifle. Battle RIfle is way more powerfull, it works 10/10 in mid-range, and the BxR and BxB give it a 9/10 in close range. Longe range can offer some support and surpressing. Assualt rifle would be terrible, i mean it is terrible. I have any idea for Bungie, just put both weapons in.

  • 05.10.2006 6:32 PM PDT

You say tomato; I say potato.

i like'em both. i just hope the br has select fire.

dump the crap smg's bring back the ol' assault riffle and bump up the power and decrease the hugely in-accurate hit radius to make it a little more user friendly ;)

Five Tenets of Bungie.net Forum Life:
1. Trolls will always be well fed.
2. Blame-ability thy name is stosh.
3. Bungie has no control over retail prices.
4. Watch out for low-flying defense drones.
5. Seven is not optional, but rather, an inevitability.

Hahahahahaha! The irony! It's so delicious!

The Assault Rifle was my favorite weapon in Halo: Combat Evolved, and the Battle Rifle my weapon of choice while playing Halo 2.

I demand both of them. =)

A scope on the assault rifle would be awkward.... I'd prefer it over the battle rifle though, because it takes more skill to use. The br is too layered over with auto-aim to differentiate between skilled players.

the AR is way better, if you know how to use it you can beat anyone who has a BR.

I personally would like the AR, but not the exact same one. It has to be more acurate. The old AR was way to inacurate for close to medium range assault. But if you think about it, how many actuall rifles are for close to medium range? I would like a way more acurate AR.

In the first halo you had your pistol which shot fast and acurate. But without the old pistol, what do you jump to for long range? You're sniper? Does that mean you should never drop your sniper rifle? Which would make multiplayer rather boring, seeing as how there would only be a few sniper rifles in normal games, making the snipers extremely hard to kill.

I am not saying to bring back the old pistol, just the oposite really. Keep that god gun away, it made playing simple though, because it was perfect for about all scenarios. What I am saying to do, is to make the rifle an actual rifle and increase the acurracy. And maybe make it have multiple modes aswell.

All that aside, I think the AR looks cooler than the BR, which doesn't matter, but I'll say it anyway.

I like the BR. More real looking, the AR looks like some bulky doom 3 weapon or something. I like to keep the guns realistic... in appearance at least... the SMG is just a slightly underpowered AR, mixed with dual wield same thing close quarters but the way the game was built its much larger and the weapons compinsate... I believe bungie made the right move dropping the Pistol and AR and replacing them

  • 05.10.2006 7:31 PM PDT

I say have the assault rifle however have a scope on it that can be used for short bursts against snipers in the fashion the BR worked.

They turned the ar into the smg for the accuracy reason, they figured a realistic, full auto rifle would be too much.
The battle rifle was designed to replace the godly pistol for those who complaind about realism issues.

What i think would be awesome is to change the assault rifle into a sort of suppresive weapon, kinda lika an m246 SAW or an m60, that would be cool. Just add on a higher ammo capacity, call it something else, change the design a bit, but keep the awesome sound and muzzle flashes, and walah!
