In OXM Latest issue.
When they interviewed Bungie about the Assault rifle in the Trailer, Bungie made the point that even though it looks like the the Assault rifle from Halo that does not mean that it is the same rifle.

Now everybody knows that The SMG's from Halo 2 are kinda like the Assault Rifle from Halo 1

Could the new Assault rifle be-
1) The Same from Halo 1
2) A new rifle that may look the same but uses different ammo? (Somthing other than the Shredder rounds in Halo1)
3) Pretty much the same but does damage more like 2 SMG's
4) More Accurate
5) Faster Firing
6) Larger Clips (100 round clips)
7) Different Fire Rates (Single shot, Burst, Or full Auto)
8) An Assault Rifle with a Gernade Launcher attached to it (Sweet!)
9) Somthing that can now be used for Heavy Suppresion fire

Does anybody have any Strong opinions on what it might be?

Geez,it is probably just a slightly modified version of the old AR...Its not big deal...and we would see the grenade launcher on it if it had one.

And the Halo 1 rifle did not use shreddar rounds.

grenade launcher ok idea but halo isnt a game that has secondary modes. if one had it then others would have to and the game would be all out of whack.

You wouldn't be able to fire the turret while you where moving it other wise it would have a huge recoil.

i hope dearly it has a large clip and can be used for heavy suppresion fire.

that which is not dead can eternal lie, but with strange aeons even death may die.

Well I have the OXM issue #60 which has halo 3 all over it,

and the Ammo in the clip is 32 rounds, queit small? dont you think.

Plus OXM said that bungie shot it in the game for them, and It sounded just like the halo 1 version,

so personaly I think it is just the halo 1 with WAY more damage, and less ammo, and better accuracy. but hey, thats just me, and remember they might take it out of the game.

Maybe the New AR is just the Old AR with better modeling/texturing, and recoil.
