BR = a more realalistic of the HALO CE PISTOL

SMG = a light machine gun, one handed

ASSAULT RIFLE = a heavy machine gun

The Assault rifle was not replaced by the battle rifle

so its quite possible that all these great weapons can be around at the same time,

Yes, you are right. But I, personally, highly doubt that the SMG and the Assault Rifle would be in the same game. But hey, that's just my opinion.

I actually suspect that they will.
The smg will be the light and short ranged, but dual wieldable weapon.
The Battle rifle the more accurate and mid to long range weapon.

The Assault rifle the short to medium ranged weapon, with more kick than the SMg, but less accurate than the battle rifle and of course, not dual wiedable like the SMG.

Uhhh, they did say it replaced the SMG, and they did say that the BR replaced the Pistol.

The Magnum was an addition.

Check your facts.

The REAL Master Chief

I hope the SmGs are gone as well as the battle rifle.The assault rifle and the pistol are alot better.Halo is returning to its roots.

they could be because all these guns are better in different situations,

BR is mid to long range in open places

the SMG is for close range in small places but realy adaptable

the AR i would think would act like a mid-range machine gun,

I would see the assault rifle being a good starting weapon as it is not completly usluss but it is not a power weapon,

the BR is more of a power weapon, just like the pistol was

why not? the assault rifle has no recoil and you can do some decent damge with the AR over mid range(i still play halo 1) in short 3 bullet bursts, the smg is for drilling into people from about 5 feet away.

They might have said they replaced it but think about it every assault rifle on Earth and everywhere else simply destroyed which wouldn't happen although it may not be in a production line they still exist people just hink about it and maybe we get one from so random place where we find it mearly laying around for the taking.

I remember hearing some explanation long ago about the battle rifle being a more multi purpose weapon, it certainly is. I always just figured there were no assault rifles around because you were mostly not on earth or near any stockpile of them. BR seems like good basic equipment and AR a nice machine gun. I hope they both make it (I'm sure they will, bungie wouldn't take away the BR and they've shown the AR)
