The last with pagan blood.
IMMORTAL.

Its probably gping to be combined with the BR. automatic fire when not zoomed in and fires in bursts when scoped.

well you know the smg seems most likley to get the boot. as for the BR that seems likley to stay. but the AR may not be in halo 3 and then we are back to the smg and BR. but having both the AR and BR is possilbe. i just hope that the BR is there like that was the sweetest weapon ever!!!

I'm used to there being more than two automatic weapons in a game, (Assault rifle/SMG and Plasma rifle), but I could care less. If they get rid of the Battle rifle (doubtfully, but still possible) at least people won't complain about 4-shot kills anymore.

ya but ppl didn't complain as much as the pistol which killed in 3 shots like crazy. ppl seem to be happy with the BR and its 4 shot kill. you don't hear tonnes of complaints unlike the pistol which a lot of ppl hated.
but i am sure they will have to have the BR cause thats what earth's army is using now.

I think they should have all three, AR, BR, and SMG. Why?

Because the AR can be the main weapon using 3rnd burst and full auto. Then the BR can be a main weapon using semi auto and 3rnd. And the SMG being just full auto

i hope they bring back the pistol.

I think the new AR is not a replacement for anything but just adds onto the arsonal of weapons to use. I am pretty fond of both the SMG and the BR. Dual SMGs for closer range combat and the BR for larger maps.

I don't think they would have the BR and AR. If you read the weekly updates, when Halo 3 multiplayer is mentioned they always mention the AR, never the BR.I would assume that means at this point in development there is no BR remaing.

Maybe the assualt rifle will be back. Even if it is back it won't be the same as Halo 1's was. As for the SMG I hope it stays it is a okay weapon. Finally I think we all know this the Battle Rifle will stay...if not well I think you and me are both surprised.

HALO 2 was a bit nuts on making humans have an equivilent of covenant weapons and vice versa. The SMG was rubbish compared with the plasma rifle, the carbine didn't compare with the BR (as well as leaving a trail) and the sentinal beam was a bit TOO powerful in MP. In about 5 seconds it would kill you.

I wouldn't mind if they booted both the SMG and the BR just so long as there is zoom capability on the AR.

Who knows. Maybe the Assault rifle is just an SMG with a slightly higher rate of fire, more accuracy and a more expansive clip. Maybe it reloads faster?

There's a lot they could do to play with capabilities.

I would take a guess that the AR is replacing the SMG and that the BR will stay so we have two main weapons. I'm hoping that's what happens because if it doesn't i'll be dissapointed but if it is what will happen i'll be so damned happy and start doing ballay classes for four months lol.

  • 06.29.2006 4:25 AM PDT

I would hope the AR is replacing the SMG, because the SMG took the place of the AR in Halo 2. I don't like bad starting weapons. However, they are saying it won't be the same assault rifle, and this to me hints it may do a different job... we will see.

i hope it replaces the smg (useless weapon, even with dual wielding)

even though they said it wouldnt be the same as the old AR i hope they dont completely change it

the AR was a great weapon in halo, the smg just couldnt replace it effectively
