It's THE Halo weapon. It's been around since day one. Why do people act like this when they get AR starts?

(Halo CE, Halo 3, halo ODST) AR was the best assault rifle by it had reasonable accuracy, decent Mag size and loot wicked but reach looks...well ..Makeshift and rubbish in everyway

So you think Reach is an actual Halo game, huh? LOL
Jesus! There's a BoB in ma Falcon!

Because its practically the worst weapon in the game, aside from the Plasma Repeater.

It's actually better than the AR. They did tests.

Spartans HooaH!

If used in CQC you can get a ton of kills due to the AR's high RoF and after much testing it was learnt that the AR does one and half times the damage per bullet with a higher RoF than the plasma repeater within the range of 20 meters and twice as much damage per bullet within range of 10 meters. Making it a really useful CQB gun.

The AR in Reach is a travesty, like most weapons in Reach, that's why.

  • 01.24.2012 3:19 PM PDT

Because it's a piece of -blam!-.

...where did you get this information, because I tested it myself and proved that the AR and PR do the same exact damage per shot. The Repeater fires faster for the first second or so, then starts to slow down a great deal, but they do the same DPS.

No they don't. The AR does a little bit more DPS than the Plasma Repeater.

  • 01.24.2012 3:28 PM PDT

Because they AR is complete garbage, most of the time you have to use another weapon or a melee to kill.

I'm a Halo turkey GOML GOML GOML

Because it's an assault rifle duh

since the TU I have liked AR starts a whole lot more.. The DMR is practicaly a weak sniper now.

  • 01.24.2012 4:25 PM PDT

I'm in love with Jesus and proud of it!

Because it's an inaccurate, underpowered, random spread bullet hose. The only effective way to use it is to rush and melee somebody. The short controlled bursts technique is bullcrap and doesn't work. Also, it stands no chance against other weapons.

Leon > HUNK > Wesker > Ada > Jill > Claire > Chris

Because pretty much everyone screamed and whined at the "No skill noobs who can't aim" when a guy with an AR killed him, instead of using a DMR. So when the TU came out it just buffed any and all precision weapons to the point that any automatic weapon became useless.

Because the AR is a terrible weapon that doesn't even work in its own niche.

  • 01.24.2012 4:39 PM PDT

Reach's AR has been the only remotely fun AR to use since CE. To be fair.

Hey, uh, if you like vs threads, then check out this little group right here, if you have the time. It's pretty fun, just hop right in.

Because Halo 3's was infinitely superior and should be brought back at 343's earliest possible convenience.
