Hey all,


I was looking at the Assault rifle from the E3demo and I've made a sudden realization that the New AR is not the AR from Halo one but a new combo weapon It has a shotgun under carage and a battle rifle top. I am under the impression that this weapon will have a switch function on it. I am thinking that the gun will have a rpg like the m-16 a2 with a m105 on it,thus allowing you to have more combat weapon, Let me know what you think.

No, it just looks different. Who knows? For now, all we know is that it looks different.

Who knows. Remember, this is 500 years in the future. For all we know it's a toaster that shoots nukes.

Hey, don't kill a dream. A flashlight would be useless, a shotgun would blow my mind away. . . literally.

But... a Shotgun/AR? That would really throw off gameplay, holding that and a Sniper would really be unbalanced. It'd be like holding 3 weapons at once.

Thats true, maybe when holding that weapon, u wouldn't be able to hold another. When u press Y you switch to the secondary mode.

That makes no sense at all.

Well, first off, thankyou for being one of the few people who realize that it is NOT the old AR. Because it's not.

Secondly, I do not agree that it is a shotgun AR. It's too, too....I dunno. I can promise you Bungie will not make a weapon like that. It's like saying the sniper could also shoot rockets. Not gonna happen.

Nice save, Ant Master. Thanks.

It was a flashlight in Halo CE, it will be a flashlight in Halo 3.

Not a grenade launcher, not a shotgun, not a thermal device, not anything. Flashlight.

We know it's not the exact same MA5B that was in Halo: CE, because Frankie stated that in one of the Weekly Updates. However, I can assure you that the assault rifle, how different it may be from the original, does not have a shotgun slung underneath it. A masterkey system in Halo would be complete overkill.

I do hope, however, that this AR has some range, and a fire selector. Leave full auto to the SMG's and turrets.

Does it really matter? Damn, all these posts that are there that are just for spelling corrections are just horrible. They just contribute nothing to the topic at hand and waste space. Thanks for making me waste my hard earned 2 minutes typing this.

just thought id point out that an m-16 a2 doesnt have an rpg attachment. it is an m203 40mm grenede luancher. it fires a single 40mm mike-mike high explosive round. and btw i like the idea of a gun with a grenede luancher on the bottom rail.
