I personally think the departure of the AR in Halo 2 hurt the game badly. I'm glad to see its back and I hope there's some sort of a pistol/BR variant that will coincide with the AR as the default weapon set during the campaign. I usually played the entire Halo 1 campaign with the starting weapons, but in Halo 2, due to ammo issues, i felt like I always had to drop and change weapons, and it was extremely annoying.

So which do you prefer?

If you are speaking in their respective games, I'd say Assault rifle with a BLB double melee while in close. There's no way you can't finish them off. The Assault rifle was actually a pretty strong weapon if you knew how to use it.

Hell, come to think of it, I rarely dual wield. I like having the option to throw grenades.

i like the concept of dual-wielding, but the AR was way better of a gun. plus it had a cool sound too :)

definetly the AR the ar has a single shot if you tap the trigger (so do the smg's) but the ar single shot will actually put down a grunt with that one bullet this is really cool if u have a controller with a turbo button cuz u can just have i memorize that one shot and put 60 well placed holes in the flesh

I want the ar back but dropping the smg's out of the game would hurt the duel- weilding part of the game i think bungie should try to fit smg's the br and ar in the game just make it so you cant carry 2 rifles at the same time and i know no one said anything about dropping the smgs but i just wanted to state my opinion

Glad to see I'm not the only one who liked the beefiness of a fully automatic weapon. I miss having a fully auto gun that you could just lay on the trigger with and mow down grunts. The SMGs, even when duel wielded, weren't as powerful as the AR, and sounded so damn weak. The AR was actually my favorite weapon in Halo1, and I never drop it once in any level during the Halo 1 campaign. The only other weapons I use to complement it are the pistol (against covies) the shotgun (against the flood) and the sniper (in rare situations).

Both, AR and SMG are proll going to be in the game.
IMO, AR>SMG.
But both are good. :)

AR. You can throw grenades, and the sound is a lot better.

The AR was the best... It had a cool look, cool sound, cool effects, and just shooting the floor with it was fun because lucious sparks flew out.

i liked the assault rifle better then duel smg's cause you can throw nades and shoot without that damn recoil.

Hmm...

Should I choose a beefy fully-auto good-all-around, I-can-tell-those-are-bullets-coming-out-the-barrel, ASSAULT RIFLE ?

Or should I pick a pair of weak good-for-grunt-killing-only sub-machine guns that shoot bullets that seem like their BBs?

I'm sorry, but SMGs just don't cut the cheese.

AR owns, but we'll probably have the MA2B instead of the MA5B like in Halo 1, but I think the MA2B will be cooler.

Duel wield looks cool but it just doesn't the job done. lets face the truth when you have AR you can take on pretty much anything and anyone. fast, strong and deadly what more do u want
