That doesnt make any sense...why would everyone in Halo 2 have a BR and then magically in Halo 3 everyone gets an AR...

You assume that everyone has an AR. The story is on a ruined world. There are limited resources. The chief probably stumbled across it in one of his missions. He doesn't have access to a BR because they aren't easy to find. The covies probably disarmed the humans. So, the chief had to made do with what he had.

It doesn't look different enough to be a new gun. Its too hard to recognize as new, therefore it isn't new. This isn't the real world. Things are deliberately done, and if they were trying to throw a new gun at you, they would've said it was a new gun! They were saying "Look! THE AR! we're giving it back,or so you think!" Its the AR, jsut looks better. Don't read so much into things. That will lead to too much hope. That's why everyone thought that Halo 2 was gonig to be pre-released. They read too much into ILB, don't make things so complicated. Its the AR.

Dude, it would be so cool if we had these pregnant sentinels that were, like, all flaming and shot out baby flaming sentinels that would be all "YARRRGH!" then they'd be like, "WHAAAAR" when they shoot.

That'd be sweet.

Who the hell said that there was an AR/BR hybrid?

That doesn't even make sense.
OMG the barrel is an inch longer! It must be a battle rifle right?!

Man your stupid, The AR firing the same rate of fire with BR bullets?
That'd take down anything in less than a second.

Lame.

Exactly, even if the barrel is longer, it looks nothing like the BR barrel. Its an AR, no doubt about it.

It is probably going to be an automatic weapon with zoom capabilites, maybe like SMG strength

I took a little screenie of the H3 trailer and removed everything except for the AR, and I compared it with a render of the Halo:CE AR, and guess what?

THEY ARE EXACTLY THE SAME, so stop theoryzing about how the "new" AR is a hybrid between the CE AR and the H2 BR. And if you don't believe me, take a look at this pic I made with both models, the CE MA5B is on top, and the H3 Trailer AR is on the bottom. Granted the angles are a little different, but that is all I had to work with. The H3 barrel might be slightly longer, but it shares nothing with the BR.

Check it out here.


Either your t.v. is not 1080i, or Bungie needs to work on their new gun models a bit more.

Well for the sakes of dual wielding the smg has got to return. The battle rifle covers medium range fighting. The assault rifle has to be somewhere in between, a heavy machine gun with more range than an smg. Basically what it should have been in Halo1.

That is heavily modified. The barrel is longer and the rifle itself is far greater in width.

Maybe an MA2B. Those were in the books.


You could be right, but the H3 trailer AR looks more like an upgrade than a downgrade. Maybe it's an MA6B or something.
