Well, I wouldn't recommend using it at long range, but, if you must, just pulse the trigger to keep it steady and accurate.

However much comes out in that one quick pull-and-release. Probably 3-5 every push.

There really isn't an effective way to use to AR at long range, pulsing the trigger does keep it somewhat accurate, but it doesn't seem to do a alot of damage.

Doc: "i'm a pacifist"
Caboose: "your a thing that babies suck on?"
Tucker: "no dude, that's a pedephile"
Church: "tucker, i think he means a pacifier"

the only time that the AR is at all effective beyond close-mid range is against flood infection forms. other than that it is very inacurate and even less powerful. are you against the pistol or are you just not the best shot?

No offense but i prefer the AR than the pistol.

theres no offence at all. i was just curious as to why you don't like it. whether or not you don't like it because you can't use it or if you had a personal vendetta against it. the only reason i ask is there are several people here that hate on the pistol. once i read your post i thought about people playing through the game and never picking it up simply on principal.

Best to use those bursts on Grunts only, or if you have a clear shot at a Jackal. It doesn't matter whether you use 1 or 10 bullets in each burst, just make sure they are in quick succession of each other, and that you are aiming at the enemies head.

  • 12.01.2006 6:34 PM PDT

Try doing it like flood. It press the button quickly, so you shoot 1 bullet at a time. Practise on Elites.

Use the pistol. For Christ's sakes, who in their right mind would willingly prefer an assault rifle over a pistol?

If I use the AR in long range i won't do burst fire, I do bullet by bullet.

Someone who:
- likes the AR
- likes a bit of variety
- doesn't like the pistol
- has the skill to use it at mid-range

You need to space after commas,periods,and exclamation marks,seriously!See how annoying it is?You need to break up your sentences,jeez.

By the way, the pistol obviously isn't going to be accurate if you hold down the trigger for automatic fire. Use it semi-automatically and it'll be the best thing since sliced bread.

It takes some practice and a lot of timing. The AR can be just as versatile as the pistol, but never melee Elites with it just go full auto into their chest.

If you're still having trouble using the AR, then perhaps Halo isn't the game for you.

  • 12.05.2006 1:58 AM PDT

Using burst fire with the AR does nothing, trust me. Watch some of the early Halo 1 tournament videos where it was AR start, they don't use burst. Quite simply, don't use the AR at long range, if you are to much of a Halo 2 fanboy to use the pistol, just use the sniper instead.
