People want it back because there was nothing like the feeling of loading covenant up with tons of lead. I mean, you don't get that satisfaction of overkill with an SMG, and the BR doesn't give it to you either. I quite frankly don't care if they bring it back or not.
heh, How come I get the sense ovf overkill with my SMG's in Caimpaign?

I sorta do, but it doesn't have that loud automatic rifle sound, it doesn't have huge muzzle flash, and you don't see tonnes of brass ejecting out of your rifle. Sometimes, you just need to unload a couple hundred 7.62mm rounds into elites to vent your anger.

If Team Swat became ranked, would there still be no shields?


Amazing!

the "AR" is the Assault Rifle from the first Halo Game. It was replaced by the Battle Rifle in Halo2

Wrong. AR was replaced by the SMG.

Battle Rifle replaced Pistol.

Alright. cant we just say theres a new weapon set? i really dont think any one gun was specifically replaced by another. the new weapons share some traits of the old ones, but not exclusively.

Look, if people want the assault rifle back, give it to them. Replace the SMG. As long as the assault rifle has that feeling that it did in Halo CE, fine. Also, keep the Battle Rifle, it is a good weapon. Happy everyone?

The Assault Rifle was the icon of Halo. It was also more reliable then the SMG.

Assalut rifle worked on the flood more effectively than the smgs did together in halo 2
Plus up to 600 ammo is a very reliable weapon

I disagree..........

I thought the SMGs did just fine against the flood in halo 2..................IMO...........

But I don't see how a game weapon could be reliable...........it's not like it's gonna fail on you..............

you run out of ammo very quickly with smgs.. and I found that if you drop one of em when they run out to throw a nade or switch weapons was a pain. AR has more ammo by itself, allows to throw nades and is easily switchable to a secondary weapon.

All of a sudden, while you are playing on Xbl, your battle rifle jams, and you get shot in the head with a sniper at point blank while you tried to un-jam it.

The reason people miss the AR so much is probably because it's awesome in the books. It is the main gun and it rules, however in the game it did kind of suck. It's ok on easy but in normal, heroic and legandary it was almost useless. In multiplayer is was basicly useless as well.

I believe that the AR in the trailer isn't the MA5B and is infact either the MA4B or the MA6B. We hear of the MA3B in the books, the Spartans used them in their training missions. After we hear of the MA3B we go straight to the MA5B and never have the MA4B. So it is that or the MA6B.

My guestamation on the new AR is that it'll have Fully Auto and Three round bursts. Also it'll be more accurate the the MA5B in CE but it won't be quite as accurate as the BR55 in 2. I also think the the reticle will change switching mode (3 to fully auto) however it will not have a scoop option accept the scope the MJOLNIR armor has. However I hope that with 3 you will be able to zoom in and see the bulets hitting, however there is no reticle, or the reticle covers as much of the area your zoomed in on so it's the same as if you weren't zoom in.

So if you zoom in instead of the reticle being 1" in diameter covering 2 meters and the screen covering 40 meters, the reticle becomes 4" in diameter covering 2 meters and the screen covering only 10 meters (if the zoom is 4x).

Its not that it is better. When MC is carring the AR no matter what he is doing he looks hardcore. WIth the BR and the SMG he does not look as bad ass they look flimsy. The AR was a mans gun

Also, did n/eone else see that the AR in the trailer seemed to light? When MC brought it from his shoulder to his hand it looked like the AR was way to light, not because of his mega strength it just seemed almost fake or to light. Hopefully they don't have this problem with the final product. I didn't really see that that much in Halo 2 or CE so it shouldn't be in 3, it's supposed to be better
