And it's your connection that's slower than turtle sex.

For gods sake, the battle rifle replaces the pistol, and SMGs replace the assault rifle, the battle rifle only has a similar design and similar name, ok?!

i chose the ar becuase all it needs is a little more accuratracy and it is a good all round weapon
br + close range = dead


Wrong.
BR+Close range=BXR'ed biatch

Battle Rifle is better, but I would like it if the new AR in H3 has different firing modes. That be good.

They're different and better in different situations, but I have to go with the Assault Rifle. I'm not really sure how a 9.5mm (Battle Rifle round, only .5mm larger than most current pistol rounds) could cause more damage than a 7.25mm (Assault Rifle round. Smaller, but I'll get to why it's better) armor peircing round. A 5mm AP round shold do equal damage to a 9.5mm. Therefore, an AP round of any other size should really do more damage.

9.5mm:
Short
Small
Round Tip

7.25mm AP:
Long
Thin
Sharp Tip
Higher velocity.

i think the battle rifle is the better weapon, but i think bungie should keep both weapons for halo 3, give the assault rifle to the ODSTs and the battle rifle to the marines each need their own weapon and u can choose which one u want to use

First the AR shoots 7.62x51mm. The BR shoots 9.5 but do you know how long it is? No. So you can't say that one is better since you can't see the rounds.

The AR is retarded and doesn't take ANY skill. Hold down the trigger and you got your self a kill, but luckily the M6D destroyed the AR. Halo 1 wouldn't have been popular at all if the AR would have been the primary weapon and plz don't argue with that, cuz you know it's the truth.

Ah, look at the lonely people...

Both. They can find a way to fit both rifles in there. If not, one's overpowered.

You can use the PP/BR combo though. SO I have to go with Br. go ahead call me a loser because I still use the combo. But people only knock it because it's so good.

"It's not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me."

Sigh. The Assault Rifle was replaced by the SMG. The Pistol was replaced by the Battle Rifle, and then brought back as the magnum. You cannot compare The AR and BR siomply because they are two entirely different weapons.

Don't get me wrong or anything i love the MA5B but with the BR its the headshot that counts. Now hopefully we will be able to test this in Halo 3. Now with the MA5B I would charge the person with it blaring the shield and smack, but with the BR you can just concentrate on the head and with a few rounds you got the shield down and a headshot. Exactly how many bursts does it take to get the shield down with BR, its like 3 or 4, right? Unless we can truely test it out either one could be dominant.

let's mediate... how about keeping both for H3... or a hybrid that allows you to go full auto or burst... but my vote is with the BR.... maybe because i've never played H1 and i've played H2 almost 2 years....

I am going to guess that the BR will do better at Medium long range.
And the AR will do better at the Medium Close range.
