When Bungie introduced the SMG in Halo 2 the Assualt Rifle dissapeared, so because Bungie has brought back the Assault Rifle will they get rid of the SMG? I really hope not but it is a distinct possibility.

Nothing personal...

I they don't get rid of the SMGs, they're so badass. I think they'll both be in there, but the Assault Rifle may serve a different purpose. (Might not be the same spray weapon.)

I want them both in there, with the SMG silencer! Just joking...

It wouldn't make any sense to get rid of the SMG.

I think that Bungie will include both the Assault Rifle and the SMG in Halo 3.

*Sigh*

1.So far Bungie's position is that the AR from H1 is NOT returning.

2.The SMG served the same purpose as the AR did in H1. Its a short range, spray weapon that causes little to medium damage in its effective range.

3.STOP MAKING NEW AR THREADS; USE THE HUNDRED OR SO ALREADY HERE!!!

Constant state of war, of one, with all.

The earlier idea of the assault rifle doing different things sounds about right. The SMG is the spray and pray waepon. In the novels, the Assalut Rifle, or MA5B, was a three round burst weapon. It also had full auto. We will have to see. I think Bungie will let the player decide what they want to use to rain terror on their enemies.

Halo 1 - AR shot a stream of bullets.
Halo 2 - Br shot bursts of 3 bullets.
Halo 3 - i think there going to make a gun that shoots with high accuracey alot like the BR and in streams of bullets alot like the AR. this would create a gun that shoots alot like guns of our real age like ak47s and m4s. and less like SMGs and less like a gun that shoots bursts of fire.

The problem with that is then the gun would have to be much weaker then say a BR since it would be fully auto, yet have incredible accuracy. I think we will see an option to switch between firing modes at the expense of accuracy in full auto.
