Which weapon do you think is better the SMG or the assault rifle?

Would you like to see both these weapons in Halo 3?

The assault rifle is better, it actually sounds like you're firing a gun. The SMG sounds like you're firing peas at your opponant.

Why don't you ask, which is better?

Rocket Launcher or Plasma Pistol?

Pretty pointless question if you ask me, more like a way to get noticed....

EDIT: Oh and by the way Bungie already announced that both those weapons were in the game, genius.

I prefer the SMG, because it feels more lighter and compact ^.^ and the AR kinda feels bulky.

THEY ARE THE SAME WEAPONS.

And plus we all know the Assualt Rifle>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>& gt;>>>>>>>>>>>>>>&g t;>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ;>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>& gt;>>>>>.Smg.

If you had the AR as your only weapon, you'd have a chance for survival, unlike the SMG.
Plus, you could you the AR for a new type of Noob Combo.

SMG sounds crap, but i used it a lot more than the AR, AR was a ..flat weapon.

That guy's getting on my nerves, seems all he wants to do is get under other peoples' skin.

Edit:

Seems rather egocentric as well.

If we had to choose which would be on Halo 3, AR of course more chance of survival, but then again the smg kind of balanced things out with a weaker but fast shooting wep that still was reliable, instead of just having all strong guns on a map. (plus smg has dual weild which can turn out to be awesome if used right)

I'm still AR all the way. =)

Well this is a discussion forum after all. Apologies if I came on a bit strong earlier but the post I replied to was rude as well as including opinion. The opinion is welcome. So I responded accordingly (any further flaming will be ignored).

All I want is a bit of a discussion about the two weapons as it seems that the assault rifle was largely replaced by the SMG. Discussion forums are supposed to be fun places to express ideas and ask others to do the same. :)

It really seems like the AR is btter hands down. I mean, I suppose you consider the SMG "balancing" but still, the AR is stronger, and has better survival chance.

Stupid question, the AR replaces the BR of course?

If so then AR completely no thought about SMG.

Hm, Bungie said it's not the same weapon though....unless it's a slightly tweaked AR?

In Halo 3.

I tend to agree with that concept. The SMG is a good weapon but it lacks real punch if you get into a tight spot. The AR was one of my favourite weapons. It was great for providing cover fire and it worked a treat agains the pesky flood.

Sure we now have the battle rifle but the BR is different (as expected).

Exactly. And the BR just doesn't have that AR feel, that it had in H1.

I'll surely miss the BR though, i loved the burst, but AR is full auto, hopefully they made some tweaks on it to make it look better and at least some recoil for a full auto wep. lol

If they got rid of the Battle Rifle it would be dearly missed. Hmmm maybe the AR could have some sort of auto and semi-auto setting hence making the AR and the battle rifle essentially the same. I do agree the AR might need a bit of tweaking to improve it but I sure hope they don't completely change it :).

I really like the feel of the Halo AR. It was easy to use had plenty of amo laying around and carried a bit of a punch if you used it properly. Plus it was just plain fun to use it. I used to love chasing grunts around with it :p .

Anyway I better let other people get some words in *grin* .
