i think they should keep both and make the BR more powerful in a single shot version much like we saw in the early multiplayer battles of Halo2 berfore it came out.

but i alwayz knew they were gonna bring back the AR cuz it was to much of a signature weapon.

if you ask me boot the smg bring back the AR!!!!!!

Personaly i thought the battle rifle was a good gun. It would of been better if it was semi-auto aswell as burst fire. The assault rifle is a good gun to put it lacks precision but replacing it with the smg's was a bad move. The smg's are a poor weapon in my eyes but thats just me

Frankie mentioned that it was a different rifle. It certainly looks different than Halo 1's AR. I can only assume it's a new version of the MA5B (An MA5C or MA6, perhaps). I would imagine that it's simply more accurate at long ranges.

The AR is my fav for close ranges(with the exception of shotgun :) in halo while sword and shotgun are the only good close range weapons in halo 2. PLEASE combine AR and BR into one gun that has two different fireing modes.

I would like to have them both, but a new weapon might be better

I'm tired about all these posts saying that they should replace the Battle Rifle with the Assault Rifle. Personally, I think that the AR was really unrealistic, and that the SMG replaces the AR nicely. Anyway, I just wanted to find out once and for all what everyone else thinks about this.

I put both.

The AR I used to mow down the Flood and the BR was good for sniping.

  • 05.23.2006 8:39 PM PDT

i think they should have all the wepons ever made in the next one....so the battles will be BIG!!!!

The only problem I have with AR is it inafective against flood on Legendary. While the BR can kill flood in one burst. Bungie should keep BR design and add a full auto fireing mode.

Why not combine them both? An Ar with a scope from the Battle Rifle?

The BR was a replacement for the Pistol.
.


I love you... You are one of the very few people that relize this

So does every one think the BR was a repaclement for the pistol I do ,but it could be upgraded to have fully automatic fire it would be much more effective.

I love the BR. It's accuracy works great for taking out Grunts and Jackles with headshots ... while on Legendary, it works really well for using the nOOb combo on elites. =p

"Most" does not include all. And, yes, most is an exaggeration, but I was all out of everything else..

I guess I'm just here to kick ass and keep balance within' the universe.. And I'm all out of balance!

All i want to see is balanced weapons, i dont want a super weapon (AR w/ a scope). I dont want this game to be realistic to a piont where all the weapons are top notch. it wouldnt take any skill, it just be whoever started shoting first. the AR"s reticul was way to large for its power so i voted for no AR/
