You won't be able to dual wield it and it will be stronger.

However,it won't be much different than dual wielding SMGs.

And it's your connection that's slower than turtle sex.

In........................................................Out .

The assault rifle is more powerful than two SMGs, and it sounds like a real gun, plus, you can have more power than dual wielding SMGs and still throw nades and melee.

LOL, stare, traitor, you post in the Halo 3 forum, booooo, nahh I'm just kidding, anyways, but that'll be overpowered, they're going to balance it out somehow.

According to the WWU, even Bungie doesn't know; they might yet take it out. but it will be different, which is cool. hopefully it'll sound like a real gun, that's all I ask.

Actually, the assault rifle SHOULD be more powerful. Mainly because the assault rifle in halo 1 fired 7.62 mm rounds(it's on the ammo thingies, trust me). The SMGs in Halo 2 probably fire 9mm parabellum or something possibly smaller, due to the amount of damage that they do. Now, against shields, the 7.62 rounds would be more powerful because they have more stopping power, and that is apparently all that is needed to deplete shields. The dual SMGs would, however, be more effective against flesh because of the sheer amount of rounds, due to this, more lacerations would occur, resulting in greater overall damage to an unshielded target. My guess? They'll both be in Halo 3, because they have different characteristics, and bungie is probably running out of new weapon ideas, as shown by the recycling of the Assault RIfle.

That doesn't mean they can't think of anything, maybe they like the Assault Rifle. I know I do. But you're right, I think it would be cool if they had both, and made them different characteristics.

I don't think the smg will be removed. If it is, what does that leave for dual wielding, only the magnum.

Dawn of the Dead video Here
6 Minutes of Hell video here

A very good point was mentioned earlier. I think we'll see both the AR and the SMG in halo 3. The AR is most likely coming back, and I duel weilding would completely fall apart without the SMG, that is to say unless they throw in a new weapon. The new AR could have a decreased rate of fire, and increased accuracy, and be a completely different weapon. I see no need to get rid of them.

They could change it as in damage and accuracy but a SMG is more compacked and is not as good as the AR but you can't dual wield an AR.

  • 06.25.2006 11:49 PM PDT

Yes, my name is a typo.

why dont they just put them both in? I would like to spray people two different ways. is that so hard to do, have two guns that look like they do the same but are completly different. a la plasma rifle and brute rifle

The weapon we saw in HALO 3's trailor IS going to be in the game, but the interveiw in Wikipedia states that this might not be the assault rifle (WTF, I know)

But the SMG just looks like it belongs in rainbow 6 not HALO. It is also chiefs trademark.

Uh yes, yes it is. More range too.

Personally I'd like to see the assault rifle basically replace the SMGs.
