well if you watvh the trailer , when MC walks through the smoke, he is indeed wielding the old gas powered assault rifle, full auto, good power. I am a fan of the older riflt and was dissapointed when itwas not in Halo 2 ... tell me what you think ? Are you happy with the new Rifle, or the old one?

I think it's good that we're getting some changes from Halo 2. It would be boring if all the weapons were the same. Ideally I'd like to see the Assault rifle either as it was with another weapon taking care of longer-ranged scoped fire, maybe an updated single-shot BR or something. Now if only they'd make the Plasma Rifle a true rifle again....

Honey, I swear just one more game and I'll be up to bed.

I guess I've gotten used to the new battle rifle but I'll take the old one. I'd like to see the old pistol back with the zoom capability. ;^)

well the assult riffle in CE is the modern SMG
i would like to see the Battle Riffle stay only w/ a new design and the SMG go back to the Assult Riffle Style...

maybe even have the BR shoot 2 bullets in a burst...that would make BR more skill also

Oh yes daddy! It's back, and sweeter than ever before! Good old bungie knows best, and I believe this shows it. Keep it up with that ol' Assault rifle, you hear?

i think that bungie should have both the battle rifle and assault rifle or combine the two with the power of the assault rifle but the option to change the rate of fire also a scope...with night vision...and a laser

Assalt rifle and BR are two compeltly diffrent things.

NEVER, compare them ever again,

AR< BR

BR is *dead*

BRs are way to powerful, they own every weapon in halo 2, so I say we toss ever last crate and ammo box of BR into an abbyess were it can rott in hell.

BRS make the game too unbalanced

Probably, but at least unlike Halo it makes more sense. Like the BR isn't a side arm (and its nicer to look at than the pistol) and its a main weapon,

The pistol made more sense, it was firing explosive rounds at a high rate of fire! Theirs aliens! So theirfor, the BR is -blam!-.

true, the battle rifle looks the part and does its job well. but to have both the battle rifle annd assault rifle in your 1st and 2nd weapons slots would be a fearsome combo

  • 05.12.2006 8:07 AM PDT


Okay, putting aside all the info about how the pistol and BR works, I still think the (halo)Pistol was probably the most unbalanced weapon in the game, it just made everything useless and if you were a halo addict (which most halo fans are) chances are you've probably already mastered it. Then it just comes down to who saw who first and who has the better intenret connection.

I liked the old AR, and i like the new BR. but i say bungie keeps the BR, redesigns the old AR giving it bigger clip, more punch, and rate of fire, and u got 2 really good guns. but for the love of god bring bak the uber pistol.

Bungie listens to its fans! ^.^ | Ninja .II./ You
RCG: In ur base, steelin' ur flagz. | Watch the demo, then join the carnage!

I'm thinking, a BR that shoots full auto out of scope (with reduced accuracy like the H1 AR) and 3-shot bursts in scope (like the H2 BR).

Two weapons in one.

Although the gun in the trailer had no visible scope... Just the AR display of bullet count and compass.

  • 05.12.2006 8:19 AM PDT

Let's get it own!

I missed the old assult rifle, the battle rifle was ok, I really don't like bursts, if I want bursts I WILL LET GO OF THE FREAKIN TRIGGER MYSELF... ok but the SMG's just didn't make up for it, especially if your not really close, then your better off chunking grenades until they get in range.

If they took away the BR from halo 2 and put the old pistol in. I would never buy the game. I hate the halo 1 pistol at and the BR is the best gun in the game if you know how to use it like i do.

well it's pretty obvious you are going to be playing the MC's past and future so maybe since he might be on Reach their supply of weapons aren't new so he has the assualt rifle. But it would be great to bring back the Pistol because the magnum sucks...

The magnum doesnt suck. Infact its a lot of fun to use. Once again you just have to know how to use it. And the old pistol didnt take skill to use like the magnum does.

I agree that the magnum can be fun to use (the magnum before the Auto-Update was even more fun) but the pistol from Halo 1 definitely took more skill to use because you had to lead your shots in order for them to hit your opponent.

hopefully in halo 3 there will be a range of new guns followed by some of the older guns from halo 1& 2 also me and my m8 found lots of glithes on halo 2 so hopefully there will be an equal amount of them 2 (glitches are fun) my fave glitch is the under the water on ZANZIBAR its so kool the hardets gun for me to use on halo 2 is the sniper rifle but im (ok) with the battle rifle's scope
