In the FAQ it asks if MC is holding the assault rifle. The answer? Not quite. Does this mean we could be seeing a new gun or just a different type of AR?!?!

It is a CR
"Combat Rifle" and has a 40 round magazine burst shot.

While your idea does excite me - Combat Rifle - I think it is the AR. Just not the old MA5B... it may be the MA2B, the cut down carbine version of the MA5B. If it is, then we may see some silencer aciton. It was specifically designed to be lighter, and have a silencer compatible barrel.

The SMG in H2 has suppressor threads and we never got to use them on those. Besides, this is Halo, not Metal Gear or Splinter Cell.

You seem to know alot about the Halo Universe! A silencer would be a cool though.

yes a silenceer would be kewl mayb some C4 to make a suicde bomb, even though u can kind of do it with a plasma, place it on a warthog blow it up when it hits a wraith maybe a incedinary (fire) gernade. interchangeable ammo for the BR (explosive, regular, and like ashotgun shell type. oh oh oh a grenade launcher attachment on the BR would be good.AND I like the idea on a RTS game in a diiferent game

...wink wink!

No it is about trial and error=

Halo:CE had the AR (assult rifle)
Halo 2 had the BR (battle rifle)
So...Halo 3 will have the CR (combat rifle)
[alphabetical order!]

AR = 60 rounds
BR = 40 rounds
Since Halo3 is about survival (look at chiefs armour)
40 rounds will keep things restricted and more tactical.
CR = 40 rounds

Burst fire is also more tactical. As I have stated above Halo3 will be more tactical from the look of the trailer.

Can't wait for the new update!

EDIT= My face!
