if it's such a trustworthy weapon how come no one ever used it, and only used pistols?

it would be cool if you can change diffrent clip types (like grenades). One would be normal, another shredder, another armor piercing, another explosive. It would also be cool if you got a grenade launcher under the barrell. Like 1 grenade launcher shot per clip.

No grenade launcer, that would be dumb. You can already throw grenades and you have the Brute Shot. That's what I think.

Acuracy over long distance. I hate SMG. Powerfor any wepon depleates over difficulty. That's how it works.

With the Assult Rifle I would want it to have a scope, (if you don't perfer the BR)
stronger for Lengendary mode, different rounds,(shredder, normal and Armor Peircing) and a longer barrel.
Pretty much a combo between the AR and the BR.

I would like to see it become much more powerful and accurate. The spread of the bullets in Halo 1 made it very inaffective in medium to long distances so I usually never used it in campain when I was playing Heroic or higher. It would be cool if it became upgradeable, like silencers, shredder rounds, scopes choices etc.

If you have not played the Custom Map Team's campaign, you should do so now(it's on the main page)

I think what the guys did there was perfect. BR is far weaker, but its secondary fire and accuracy compensates, pistol is more powerful, low ammo, AR has less power than SMG, but more ammo, better accuracy.

What I'm getting at here is that instead of changing one weapon and hoping that it all balances it out, is that there is no easy way, and most, if not all weapons will probably have to be changed. Failing that, I would love the AR to be like the SMG in the CMT campaign. It has low accuracy, but it takes maybe half a clip to fell an elite at close range, about 5 well places bullets to kill a grunt(on normal), and it does not have much ammo. Yet it feels like power, and it is still usable at mid-range, and occasionally farther. You can obviously see where a BR or pistol would be more effective though. With bungie implementing both the SMG and the AR in halo 3, I believe they need to take a look at what CMT has done, and perhaps give AR more accuracy to balance it out.
