Ok so we know that the assualt rifle has been modified(or so frankie said!). So maybe we could speculate alittle about What was changed. I personnaly think there maybe be a full auto/semi-auto option and a larger clip.

Plz dont flame.

Yea, I don't think it will be called the Assault Rifle, full auto semi auto option seems a little Ghost Recon or whatever.

Larger clip? I think 60 bullets is enough for a clip honestly.

How would they implement the option? What button would they use?
But I think that they would take the original AR, maybe increase accuracy a little bit, and lessen the amount of clips you can carry.
I don't think they will, as they contemplated it for the SMG in Halo 2, but its possible that the slightly longer barrel is to enable silencer capability, and a scope that you could pick up. I don't know though... Bungie will tell us eventually. They are wise like that....

I don't want it to switch between auto and semi-auto, it just doesn't feel like halo (even though the PP has two modes of fire). The only change I would want would be making the AR more accurate when you fire it in "burst" mode, making it an effective close range and mid range weapon and the perfect starting weapon. actually, maybe the close-range fire should be a little less effective so that this weapon won't outclass the SMG in every possible way.

A bit more accurate while still flexible to use and more powerful, hopefully.

Maybe if you push a button it transforms into optimus prime and fights alongside you.

I don't think Bungie will rename the Assault Rifle. They changed the Needler and Rocket Launcher and didn't change the name.

Assualt rifle .........smg............the smg seems more like a special ops weapon small some what powerfull easy feild repair easy to silence ect. where assualt rilfe would be more of a main weaponary used by most soilders large sexy powerful lots of ammo no need to keep quiet when 300 marines charging the battelfeild all firing togther. plus leaves your options open for gernade usage and a more powerful melle do to gun size and weight. Flash light intergration alongiwth ability to strap on gernade launcher and or shot gun bottom hell ya.

Id say a lot more accurate. You couldnt shoot the AR more than like 30' in CE. It also be nice if it were a bit easier to shoot single bullets, whether you turn on a semi-auto mode or make the trigger less jumpy.

Courage is just endurance for one moment more.........

they should put like an anti-armor attachement or a 203 launcher on the bottom rail of the assault rifle. The top rail should contain some sort of mini scope with a red dot in the middle. It should have a folding stock. as well as a silencer. :D

I respect your opinion, I'm probably just going to disagree with it.

Grenades launchers... personally I don't like the idea because it means needing more controls, but it might work.
I think the new AR will be a fully automatic weapon which is very accurate in small bursts or single shot fire (like the origional AR but to a much greater extent) because looking at the shape of the new model, it looks to me like a built up BR, so you would expect it to be more accurate, or I would anyway! =P

And as Bungie says, it fires projectiles!!!!!!! Ho HO! Watch out covenant!

EDIT
OOOoooohh while I remember, the very VERY origional AR was supposed to have an adjustable fire rate depending on how hard you pulled the trigger; I think that would be SUCH a cool feature.
