Personally I would pick the BR because it is easier to kill enemies, although some people just like going crazy and hosing down Covie with the AR.

I don't know now that i'm used to BR, it would'nt seem right using an assault rifle. But we already know that we will be using something very similar to the AR so you should have both because that's prolly the big question.

wow!! you work for Bungie or something? or do you just not read the WWU's?

One or two weeks ago they said that no guns... not even the AR from the trailer are final... that no gun that they are working on in the game right now will 100% for sure be in the game.

I for one prefer the AR... but maybe with burst/full auto choices... and a scope add on too.

Common even if they made some major changes from the E3 trailer for the original hame in Halo 2, after showing the AR there not gonna dissipoint the large amount of people wanting it back. I can't think why they wouldnt just keep the BR and the AR, there not the same kinda weapon, y not have both? Maybe the'll make all purpose rifle or something, but doubt it.

Both.

I personally like the BR more, however I want the MA?B back. See how it will do. hopfully useful this time for Legendary(almost impossible to use against Elites on LEgendary).

And in MP it was not as used as much as the pistol, it should go the other way around.

PS: Keep SMGs too, i've grown fond of them and they have saved my Spartan ass several times.

Ya keep smg, i dont think they should replace weapons, smgs have a much different use then the BR or AR.

The two are completely different weapons. One is a mid-range weapon with good accuracy and a scope; the other is a close-range weapon without a scope and low accuracy.

i picked the BR, but i think bungie should keep both, give the assualt rifle to the ODSTs who need a rifle that dishes out alot of fire, and give the battle rifle to the marines who need a weapon with a longer reach

and keep the smg but give it a higher rate of fire, make it more like an uzi to be used by auxilery troops like snipers, engineers and pilots when they get shot down

To play or not to play....

The battle rifle and assault rifle are different weapons the battle rifle has stronger shots however it fires only a few rounds at a time. Short bursts of firepower. The Assault rifle lays out a good spray of fire however its bullets are not as strong as the BR. The assault rifle makes up for its weaker firepower by being able to pump out a hell of a lot of very quickly.

We need both as they are both useful weapons in different situations.

I prefer assault rifle to the SMG and the BR. the AR is good in longrange and has automatic fire. and i love my automatic weapons.

perhaps this new gun will be both combined the cool furturistic sleek look of the AR combined with the balance and power of the BR

why does everyone think the new rifle is the MA5B? Couldnt it be an MA5A? and even more powerful version of the assault rifle with different features and a longer barrel?

  • 07.09.2006 4:26 AM PDT

Hated by many, confronted by none.

MA5B Assault Rifle for the win!

I put both.

BR is what I use to take down swords with, so I love it for that.

AR is my weapon of choice for mowing down hordes of Flood.

I love both weapons with the happiest of passions.
