If you look at the gun the Chief (yes it is the chief) is holding in the trailer, it is not an assault rifle. There are key differences, the main one being the barrel which looks extremely similar to the barrel of the Battle Rifle. The top of the gun does look like the assault rifle but the gun seems to be more of a mix between the AR and the BR. We'll just have to wait and see.

Actually im gonna have to say 2/3 AR 1/3 BR

I'll admit they are not the same, but there are very distinctive characteristics that would make any Halo CE verteran go, "Holy -blam!-! Thats the original assault rifle!" To me, it looks like the AR 2.0

Oo an unrelated note, with the addition of the Halo 3 forums, its awesome to finally be able to post a response to something worthwhile!

(10:19:49 PM) Scruss: oh and pezza, i saw what you did to that cat
(10:20:17 PM) Pezza: You were the one with the video camera breathing heavily. Of course you saw.

Omg, it is for the last time. If you think it isn't then its a slightly different version. Don't be nieve!

to tell the truth. the more i look at it the more it looks like an AR. But truthfully, i hope they dont bring it back. but as long as a weapon like the pistol or the BR(which the pistol became in halo 2) is in their as like the 'main' weapon im glad.

Ok listen go play the first Halo , the first lvl and go find a Marine , THEY LOOK EXACTLY THE SAME. The barrel is long you just cant see yours becuase there is a shield over it , If you look at a marines you will see that the one in this trailer is the same. So it is a Assault Rifle. Thank You Very Much

It's an assault rifle. The longer barrel doesn't make it 1/3 BATTLE RIFLE. WTF is wrong with you?

I think it might just be an upgraded model. Like one with better accuracy. So you might be right.

ok, i rushed my idea because i dont really like the assault rifle. it has no range and no accuracy. it is basically the same as the SMG. but upon further looking, it looks very much like an AR.

It's not a mix. THERE IS NO SCOPE. It just is better looking now. Big deal, their using a better skin. Gezz...

As for the barrel, it's a bit longer, so what?

  • 05.11.2006 4:51 PM PDT

really i can't tell the difference. the barrell doesn't look any longer tome, just different angles and better graphics

  • 05.11.2006 4:54 PM PDT
