I hear and saw the Assault Rifle in the trailer and in rumors is this true?
Also will it be tuned up so that it will match the Battle RIfle?
And if it is true what is the fate for the SMG? (I know the AR can't be duel wield)

If any one here can help it would be great.

Read up on things before posting. this is old. We dont know if its the same gun. we can assume its a much improved AR. didnt say anything about it being the new BR. We just dont know about the fate of weapons. (most of them)

nobody can really say what will happen with the assault rifle til the first time you play it, but it could have an automatic/semiautomatic setting where you can use one weapon as both AR and BR, and maybe you would only be able to use a sight with semi auto setting. i doudt they will make smg extinct, but it is still practicle in some combos which AR and BR arent so handy, as long as bungie gets the power balance and availiablity correct, then all should be ok

In reality, it would be tuned up so much that no Covenant or Flood could stand against it. In real life, weapons are designed to be better than the enemy's weapons so you are more likely to kill them, not equal so they have a chance to kill you.

Frankie said in one of his updates something about using the AR in multiplayer, however he also said that at this point it could be removed too, so currently, it definitely exists, but by the time Halo 3 comes out, who knows? Also, Frankie hinted at the fact that the AR isn't the same as the one from the original halo

Actually, if we find out about anything before the game is released, it will be about weapons and vehicles and other stuff. That's what Bungie showed us for Halo 2, and we got very little plot for any of their games before they released them.

No one knows much about the weapon. We do know it looks sort of like the original rifle but is not the exact same gun. Thats pretty much it.

Alright...I think the Bungie guys are using the same model but maybe it could be fired differently. Did you guys know that the Halo 1 MA5B Assualt Rifle fires like a SMG, that's why Bungie decided to change it. I think they will make it to fire like a rifle

Thanks everybody and yes i did a little thinking and the AR in halo CE did function like a SMG. MAybe they wil remake the rifle and heck there was semic aiming and full auto in the game for the AR In HALO CE tap the R trigger to fire short burst more arucrate for me and hold it down for a full blast!

Lol be careful when you say the AR is like an SMG. That gets you flamed in this forum.

SMGs generally have faster firing rates, lower accuracy and range, and cause slightly less damage. The advantages of an SMG are they are lightweight and a large ammount of ammo can be carried for them. Rifles generally fire slower, and are more accurate and powerful.

But it is true that the Halo MA5B Assault Rifle is like the SMG....According to the Halo:The Arts.... In Halo, the pistol behaved more like a rifle than the assault rifle, and the assault rifle behaved like a SMG.
Doesn't this solve everything? Bungie was trying to change it...

i just got done playing some halo:CE right now and since we are on the matter of the AR i just realized.. its not really stronger than an smg.

it sounds stonger and you may think it is.. but i dont think it is.. it just doesn't seem like it will kill faster.

well i havent played a lan game in awhile.. so i dont remmeber if these rules apply to multiplayer.. but i think the MP smg=the SP AR... just feels like it.

If your talking to me, I know that. Doesn't change the fact that people still blindly flame you for bringing it up.

opps sorry for saying the SMG is like the AR i meant that the AR is different like maybe it has short burst, the SMG if you tap the R trigger it fires a round of sprayed bullets Now don't get mad but the AR i think is more arcurate like if you tap the R trigger for a AR it fires several short burst longer and more arcurate. Well I think so. but still the if the SMG is stronger than the AR then the AR has to be tuned or it wont be for any use in the game.
