ok all of you have noticed the change in the assult rifle right? Well ive got a theory as of why it looks so different, I believe that it is the upgraded assult rifle mentioned in the halo book "Fall of reach". It is the one dr Halsey gave to them when the covenent attacked reach, i believe this because when they asked bungie why the assualt rifle was in the trailer they said "Who said its the standered assault rifle?"

It might just be full auto to burst fire or single shot. I didnt see a scope tho.

no need to call people noobs, but maybe it was mentioned in Fall of Reach, just not where you're looking...anyone ever heard of the MA2B instead of the MA5B?

Send me a group invite, and I shall return a harsh reply. Do not invite me to groups. I do not accept. Don't believe me? Look at the list of groups I'm in right now. Consider this your warning.

Lo oks the same to me. The only difference is the slightly longer barrel. The top is the Halo CE AR, the middle is the Halo 3 rifle, the bottom, the Halo 2 BR.

The Assaultrifle that is in the books is basicly the a modifyable AR that they can field adjust for specific needs sutch as silencers and so on, atleast thats what Fall of Reach states.

There's no "theory" behind the return of the AR(if it even is a AR)

It goes like this:

Jason Jones: Well after reviewing our feedback from Halo 2 the majority were disapointed with no AR in the game so in Halo 3 we will bring it back.

Bungie Staff: Amen.

That was a stripped down version, not an upgraded one.

Who is to say that both guns will not be in the game?

The epic tale that never ends

anyone ever heard of the MA2B instead of the MA5B?
the MA2B was issues a few years before the MA5B, hence the lower number

Do you feel what I feel, see what I see, hear what I hear?
There is a line you must draw between your dream world and reality

you guys do realize that the trailer you saw is noy "definite'' for what will be in the game.

Dont forget the New Mombasa Demo from E3 '03

The E3 2003 trailer was messed up because Bungie didn't know that they would make Halo 2 for the Xbox, so they designed the trailer for the Xbox 360.

As for the theory, I hope that the rifle in Halo 3 is just an Assault Rifle that is fully-automatic, but I think that it should be more accurate. I think that it should be a little bit less accurate than the Carbine in Halo 2.

a agree, looks exactly like halos assult riffle...all this speculation about it is kinda un-needed in my opinion

I believe that the speculation is appropriate because Frankie hinted that it would be different from the standard Assault Rifle in the latest update.
