Assault rifle shooting regular, when scoped it fires three BR shots.

Didnt see a scope on it so the 2nd part is highly unlikely.

I agree. A rifle with a 3 shot burst, and an automatic feature would be very handy. How do you think that would change the gameplay though. If you were in automatic mode, I don't think you would properly be able to use the sight. So you would have to think about how they would handle that. That would be nice though. Trying to get that head shot, but he is running to fast, so you decide to let loose the rest of the clip!! Oh yeah.

Formula one racing kicks ass.

Calgary, Alberta Canada

no it is just the assult rifle from halo without a scope that little part is the clip counter. They hopefully will have all three (smg, battlerifle, assult rifle)

No, it is not the same rifle. I would point out how I know that, but I don't have the time. I believe bungie confirmed that.

Master Chief on the Xbox 360 looks hot! Sorry, had to say that. My real question is about the MA5B rifle. Which Bungie said isnt the same. So what is it? It looks the same, right?
It would be sweet if its a combination of a SMG and the Battle Rifle. 3 shot burst and fully automatic. Any thought?


Wow, you haven't played the first Halo have you? I Have no respect for you.

The Halo 1 assault rifle didn't have a scope.

Oh, and you could use the white button to switch modes, no matter whether you are scoped or not.

Yes, I thought it would be the Combat rifle, as well. The controller does not use the D-Pad. That's 4 unused buttons with the potential of switching alternate fires. I think the Fuel Rod will also have an alternate fire for shooting striaght like in Halo 2 and an arking fire like in Halo PC.

yes guys.......3 shot burst + full auto = NOOB CANNON and if that goes in the game then there is no use for any other weapon :) maybe except the rocket or the sword

My guess:

Since there was no visible scope on the weapon I think its safe to assume there is no scope, so its not likely intended for ranged combat. I really like the burst idea.

Also, the longer barel and overall longness of the gun would indicate it is more accurate, which would really be the biggest improvment on the old Assualt Rifle.
