Why is the Assault Rifle in there?

Who says it's the standard Assault Rifle? Doesn't look identical to me…


This is from the Weekly Update.

Hmmm. The only thing that looks different to me is that the barrel is a little longer. Does this suggest that it is the same as before but with a longer range??

Just because it looks like an assult rifle doesnt mean it has anything in common
It could be a totally new gun

Well, yeah. Its probably something like that, but the graphics make it look so good. Maybe they bought an assualt rifle and put something in it. I wish its gonna be the same assult rifle li3k in halo1

I do hope it's a new, or improved, AR. Bigger caliber = more damage, more accuracy, lower fire rate, lower ammo count.

Fine by me!

PS. I'm wondering if the flashlight will be replaced... because isn't the Mark VI supposed to have a myriad of different vision modes? And integrated (sp?) flashlight? It'd be nice to have a grenade launcher instead of a dinky flashlight, IMHO.

I think it's going to be a cross between the BR and the AR.

Yeah, I was thinking that it would be a cross.

For instance, out of scope; automatic fire, reduced accuracy (like the AR) and in scope; 3-shot bursts and improved accuracy (like the BR).

However looking at the weapon closely I see no scope present... This lead me to rethink. What if instead of zooming when you pressed the scope button, the rate of fire was just changed? So basically you get an automatic, inaccurate AR, then *click*, you have a 3-shot burst BR (with no scope). I find the scope on the BR pretty redundant anyways.

I think it simply will behave like the original but with longer more accurate range. With range somewhere between the smg and the battle rifle.

Id like them to keep all the current weapons and add in the AR.

I have to agree with saint. His idea of a cross of the BR and AR is good. So you can go semi shot, burst and automatic with the scope button for the AR. A grenade launcher that would replace the flashlight would be nice too.

It might also be cool with like a bayonet that you can change up. Like their would be a metal human one that you can you for an infinite amount of time while you could get a plasma bayonet that would have a life like that sword in H2 campaign but would be able to go thru sheilds making it the all time better bayonet.

Also the 360 controllers have 2 triggers on each side now so, forget pushing down on the right thumbstick. they'll probably use one of those for the button to change gun modes if you can.

have a look here:

I just created the site now to show the pics, so there's nothing except 3 pics. The bottom one is the AR from Halo 1. The other 2 are obvious.


(Also, can somebody tell me how it will let me enter html code into this. I tried to put the link as an <A> tag, but it just showed up as the code, not the actual link. )

I am...whimsical today.

If he was able to get a new gun, then where has he been? Possibly he got the gloves in the same place?
