We all know that Bungie is bringing back the AR, but would you rather have the BR return, or toss both ideas and come up with a different assault class rifle?

AR with scope but 3 shot burst. Why did they replace it in the first place?

Just add the AR into the existing H2 weapons set. Some people hate SMG starts, some people hate BR starts, make the AR function right in between the two, starting weapon issues resolved.

I think they thought they had a vast area to explore, and with a new game engine comes new weapons. They wanted to try out different things. Notice that every weapon of the game was changed from Halo: Combat Evolved. The AR becomes the BR. The bad ass assault class pistol becomes purely a dual wield support weapon. Even the nades changed a bit. No doubt Halo 3 will experience the same metamophasis.

Look at my avatar (little picture thingy). The Master Chief obviously isn't using an ordinary Assult Rifle! It looks like the new (Combat Rifle?) is a Battle Rifle mixed with a Assult Rifle. This probably means that the new rifle will be fully automatic when un-scoped and have a single-shot or three-round-burst when scoped!!! YAY!!!

I'd like to see both return...

Col Sanders 37- Would you like that original or extra crispy?

I hope you choke on my popcorn chicken!

Eat my crispy strips biotch!

Both would be ok, I guess...but if they replace my BR I'll be ticked off.

I prefer AR but I like BR too, so it would be nice for both of em to be in 3.

How about a rifle with interchangeable parts so you could give it a scope and make it fire three round bursts like the Battle Rifle, change up the parts and it could be fully automatic like the classic Assault Rifle!

I would like a rifle that is usefull in alot of different situations automatic for up close and a single shot for further distances but not just when you zoom in make it so that you can change the firing mode by maybe pressing the black or white button.

i hate the BR mostly i like the AR better, the BR would be better if it was more powerful and single shot like in the halo 2 demo trailer

That's what I meant, If you've played Republic Commando you know exactly what I'm talking about.

SuperPyro, that is a VERY far fetched theory, although I must admit that the AR is going to be changed in some way.


Why would there be a scope on the Assult Rifle then? I have no idea if it's gonna be called the "Combat Rifle" just me guessing what the name of a Battle/Assult Rifle mix might be.

why not take the AR, and increase the accuracy and power by a hedgefold?

that way, BR fans can zoom in and tap the firing button to shoot in bursts,

or AR fans can just go full auto?


everyone is happy! yay! (^.^)

they should keep both the BR and the AR, i liked both the weapons but i argee with MrSpinkleswith that the accuracy of the AR needs to be increased and it would be cool if you can shoot in bursts with the BR

I like the AR's rapid fire or one shot bursts, but I also like the scope of the BR

I'd like to see it shoot full Auto when normal & 3-shot when scoped.

A new weapon would be GREAT, but I still want the Battle Rifle and the return of the Assault Rifle...besides it's just my opinion.

Aerospace engineers build planes, civil engineers build targets
