So, the Assult Rilfe is unofficially back, according to the E3 teaser. So, do you think bungie will follow suit with the Halo:CE Pistol?

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

I think that...

....The Assault rifle should be brought back, just like it was in Halo 1 but make it more innacurate...

To make up for the innacuracy when being shot fully auto, MC has a scope he utilizes from his visor (like the Halo 1 Pistol), and the New Assault rifle will shoot Burst fire mode like in Halo 2...

..Remove the SMG entirely..

..Keep Dual Wielding in..

..Make the Magnum kill in 11 shots rather than 134..

...Keep the original Pistol out of the game...

I hope not.. I want a more team based game than H1. I mean can you imagine going into, lets say big team battle and just here a bunch of pistol shots go off, then look around and your entire team is dead? that would be retarded.

Why is it dumb, because it's balanced? Don't like balance? I guess you play MLG..and my having it in my name is 'tainting' your 'reputation'

Guess what, I hate MLG, and I made this my name to mock an MLG kid who I know in real life.


That idea is balanced, you just don't want to not have burst fire in unzoomed mode cause you probably can't handle recoil..




Anyway, I think that if they bring back the old pistol they should take the scope off and make it a 6 shot kill rather than the 4-5(?) I said before, simply because we have the AR/BR and don't need an overpowered,. unbalanced weapon like we had in Halo 1.

No, it's the Assault rifle lol. But the top slanting part is lighter than it used to be..otherwise it's the exact same model =D

Look closely at the new gun he carries in the trailer. You'll see that it has the same basic design as the old assault rifle, but it's thinner and it has the battle rifle's nozzle at the end. This means that the rumors are true: the new rifle in Halo 3 will be a combination of the assault rifle and the battle rifle, with alternating firing modes (full-automatic fire AND controlled bursts). Let the fun begin.....

I think that we should definately have the assult rifle back, but have mabie 40 rounds in a magazine, rather than 60. And make the rounds just a little more powerfull. But still have it full auto.
Oh, and on the halo2 E3 playble trailer, they had the battle rifle firing single shots, automatic. but in the game it fires 3 shot bursts. Who thinks that single shots were waaaay better than 3 shot bursts? (i do)

I respect your opinion, I'm probably just going to disagree with it.

I agree, I don't think it is the Assault Rifle.. it is from the same weapon series, but It isn't the assault rifle. Oh well, I still feel chuffed that the amazingly cool looking weapon is back that I made a massive post for! =D
Anyway, enough of me rambling on, the other thing I'd like to point out is the attachment on the bottom of the gun, it doesn't look like a lamp anymore...

I'd like to see the M6D back, of course, but I don't think it would work very well in terms of balance, so its perhaps safer to leave it out. Unless you jiggled with it a bit.
