I've heard people say that the Assault Rifle is coming back in H3. While I think that its just some people starting rumors, I think it would be nice. However, the AR dominated way too much in H1, and had no kick back like the SMG in H2. Whats everyone's input?

Well, Bungie did make an announcement trailer with the Master Chief holding an assault rifle. But they also said that anything can get cut from the game.

That'd be sweet. It'd launch grenades like they were thrown in H1 then, too.

Yes, except work with it more to make it more of an Assault Rifle than an SMG (like it was in Halo: Combat Evolved.)

No, the idea of grenade launching was another dudes idea, I just mocked him by making it pink and adding hearts.

I don't know, I think it'll come back. Way too many people complained about it being gone.

So the grenade launcher is very likely a load of bull-blam!-.

If you thought the assualt rifle dominated in Halo CE....then you must have not played much Halo CE online.

Is the Assault Rifle really coming back in Halo 3? Something like that, yes, hopefully.

That Assault Rifle the MC was holding in the trailer looks as if it'd be a pure ownage weapon against the Brutes. But that's just me...

The rifle in the trailer could just be a sweet looking BR

IF the Assault Rifle comes back adn the Battle Rifle stays. SMGs go away and thats that.

WOW, whatever idiot that took it out in the first place should be shot himself! It was the most fun, and the second most powerful gun in the game, anyway, how many millions of the gun just randomly dissappeared?

Same argument can be said if the BR is taken out.

Give a man a fish, feed him for a day.
Teach a man to fish, feed him for a lifetime.
Teach a man religion, and he will starve to death praying for a fish.

If it is back in, it needs to be more accurate. Nothing pissed me off more than having the reticle turn red, and my rounds not hit my target.

It owned anyway! You could unleash 1 clip and level an entire wall of covenant.

If you get the August issue (you don't have to get it, just look at the cover) You will see the chief holding the Assault Rifle BUT, it appears that this time there is 32 bullets per clip.
And it's not some fan art. It says in the magazine that it's from Isaac Hannaford.
So, 32 bullets, I guess it got balanced.

I figured they would do that. 60 was a bit much.

True, thats why I hate Halo CE online, the pistol dominates online.

If Bungie is confident to include the Assault rifle in the announcement trailer it is Highly likely it will be included
in the full game.
