Think about it!!!!

If earth iz being invaded by a gazzillion aliens all at once, HOW IN GODS NAME CAN THEY MASS PRODUCE NEW WEAPONS!?!?!?!?
I think that as far as human weapons are concerned,l they should all remain the same.

You actually think the whole human kind only had the human weapons from halo2?? which is about 4-5 guns. Come on.

that weapon is an old one, possibly b/c the chief couldn't find anything better. besides, thats not the same one from Halo: CE. if you read the books, there is the MA5B and the MA2B assault rifles.

becuae you dont sacrafice a good game because of logic... Adding the ar is great for the game... what about brining johnson back? that wasnt logical to the game unless you read the books and still it wasnt logical, but they brought him back knowing the game would suffer without it.

next time think before you post. If human kind got attacked by weird alien dudes then they are most likely going to mass produce weapons and possible make new ones wich are a lot more effective against them.

its not prob you just got to let somethings slide or there gonna have to come up with more stupid moments like the " he's berserking" to explain whats going on... I think they didnt have and explaination for his hand armour... they just chagned it... now there gonna make something lame in the game to explain it... just gotta let things slide sometimes.

there should be this so called AR (totally need to come up with another name, coz people (new guys) will get confused) because it will add quality to the game, and, in war people try to develop new weapons in a war.

this is to try to make something more effective in the situation, its basically evolution, but with technology

maybe this new AR has some great anti - brute properties or something

To me its
AR < BR

I love the Battle Rifle its the best gun i ever encountered in a game. Perfectly rounded. I take down people that are duel wielding with it, people with Sword, Rockets, other Battle Rifles and snipers. EVEN NOOB COMBOS. I use to think it sucked when i berely started playing. cause it shot 3 bullets at a time. I always use to duel wield cause i thought it was faster firing = faster kills. Then i started playing with it and now its my fav gun.
I would REALLY hate the if AR was in the game instead of BR i hated the AR its like a dam smg just bulkier.

We need both guns. Battle Rifle would be fit for Grunts over a mid to long range. The Assault Rifle would sweep Jackals and Grunts. Duel weilded SMGs will take down multiple opponents. All three of these weapons should be brought back, the M6B, Sniper(obviously), and a retuned shotgun.

It would all balance out in multiplayer. Battle Rifle for mid to long range, assault rifle for short to mid, and SMG for close. Ok. a lone SMG is weak, kills in 25 shots. duel weileded, that like killing in 12.5 shots. a bit faster than an Assault Rifle, but you only need one assault Rifle. Now people won't complain about SMG's and others can still use them.

If earth iz being invaded by a gazzillion aliens all at once, then they'd either need to create more effective weapons, as the humans are being pounded, or it makes sense that they begin running out of supplies and have to use older weapons.
I think that as far as human weapons are concerned, they should vary, adapting to different situations. But not like different scopes and secondary fires. Also, if you once again think about it, the AR basically IS the gun of the master chief. That's the gun he wields almost always.

Chances are the gun was in production while Regret's small Covenant force attacked. I mean, it's not like you halt production of weapons when enemies attack. That'd be like me *chuckin a rock at your crotch* while you're already whittling a spear but then you just stop even if you were wearing a cup.

Maybe he took the gun from the bunker behind him.

Well bungie annonced that it isnt exactly the Assault Rifle, maby it its a new gun and they were upgrading it from the old one, during Halo 2 the weapon might have been being upgraded and his new weapon is a prototype!!! But thats just a rough guess!

Yeah think about it, if earths defenses had been crushed so totally as the trailer suggests then they'd be using anything that could shoot.

(sigh) Well, at least there's ONE person who's on the right track. Let me clear this up for you guys:

1) First, get an image of the assault rifle from Halo: CE in front of you
2) Next, get an image of the battle rifle from Halo 2 in front of you
3) Now, go to the Halo 3 section and watch the trailer. Pause it as soon as Master Chief slings his new gun down from over his shoulder to a resting position.
4) Look closely at the images of the assault rifle and the battle rifle, then look at his new gun...notice anything? The body and the frame is similar to that of the old assault rifle, but it has the scope and the longer nozzle from the battle rifle. It's almost as if they took both rifles and combined them to make one rifle...

Now, can anyone put 2 and 2 together and tell me what that means? (raises hand) Yes, you in the back?

(stands up) Deeerrr, dus it meen dat der gunna hav a nu rifel with bof kindsa shootin'?

Yes Larry the Retard, that's exactly what it means. Now here's a cookie for you (snatches cookie and scurries away into the corner). Yes everyone, they are going to give us a new rifle that contains characteristics of BOTH the assault rifle and the battle rifle, meaning that it will be able to utilize fully-automatic firing AND controlled bursts. Most likely, the rifle will fire controlled bursts when the scope is on and full-automatic firing when the scope is deactivated.

Tomorrow we will discuss the origin of the structure found in the trailer: Ark or "God's own anti-son-of-a-*!#&@ machine? Please read pages 323-345 in your Halo bibles to prepare for the lecture. Class dismissed...
