i know the AR was in the trailer but i like the BR... i think the AR should have a scope and there should be an optional 3 shot burst or just straight automatic.

precision and accuracy when you need it+hot lead and run'N'gun when you need it=best gun ever

it would be the best gun ever, but they cant put it in becase it would be horribley unballenced,and i just wouldnt like it

it wouldn't be that unbalanced cuz in automatic it would be less accurate and in 3 shot burst it would be lees powerful but for accurate

I like the idea of switching between burst and single shot for the ar. I just hope its still has that bad aim thing. People always whine about how inaccurate it was but the old AR was my favorite weapon. It was very good against vech like the banshee. But yea if they put a firing mode on it it would be the -blam!-

no, it would just be like the newb combo in halo 2, they lower the shield with the automatic fire then use the battle rifles 3 hit combo thing and the guys dead

jesus christ man how many times do we have to review this.

through out the halo series so far there has consistantly been two weapons (amongst others) that always stay in the game.

Halo 1 had the classic pistol which fulfillied medium to long range combat with head shot damage bonuses. This type of weapon was later fulfilled by the BR in halo 2 for this same role.

For halo 1 we had the AR to fulfill medium to close range spam/ automatic fire which was later replaced by the SMG in halo 2 for this same role.

Even if the AR as is being displayed for halo 3 does make a reintroduction it does not necessarily (and probably doesn't) mean that it will replace the BR. At worse the only way the BR will be removed would be by another seperate rifle that acts similarly to it (such as short bursts or single shot damage with no auto, along with a scoped vision mode)

Where as the AR would probably be used to replace or act along side with the SMGs as a possible alternative to dual wielding or as some other new method of attaining close combat damage with an automatic weapon depending on how it has been changed for this new game.
