Echo Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 The Assault Rifle was obviously one of my favorite weapons from Halo 1. It saddened me to not see it in Halo 2... and especially when I saw it in Halo 3 and it ended up sucking compared to other weapons. Halo Reach was alright but the AR still lost more often. From what I've been able to see, it SEEMS stronger... but does anyone know for sure? Is the Assault Rifle beefed up now, and actually alright for me to use as a load out weapon? Or will it get over shadowed again by other rifle weapons? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarknessX03 Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 Oh yeah, I feel like the AR will be making a comeback In Reach, it was more powerful but to kill more effectively with it a lot of your shots had to hit the target's head. I feel like it will definitely be more powerful this time around though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hᴜᴍᴘsᴛʏʟᴇs Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 I absolutely love the AR in Reach. I actually hope it still has bloom in H4; so many people didn't know how to utilize it properly. With that being said, I haven't been able to tell how strong it is in comparison to other weapons.

SO7SF Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 In Halo 4 the Assault Rifle is better now! I am a Halo player and I don't use the Assault Rifle because I don't get kills with it in Halo:Reach. =\ Halo 4 is more better to use now. Good Luck people who will use it.

Tallgeese Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 While playing at CC the AR functioned a lot like the AR in Halo 3...I used it in tandem with the beatdown a lot. But really...I found myself using the Carbine or LR more often...most maps really flow for mid range (with the exception of BTB maps like Exile). The AR was good to get a feel for the maps but to each their own lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryu♥Hayabusa Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 I saw that it could kill pretty quickly in close range. It can compete up to a certain range, yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robius5991 Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 I think I will be agreeing with the general consensus. The AR, what from I've seen in snippets of gameplay, seems likely to be making an awesome comeback! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jezzertle26 Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 i think as a balance stand point, now that everyone has the choice on what weapon they can use, i feel it will be stronger, because the past halos it was good, but not good enough to make me want it over a rifle, i feel at close range the AR will come out on top, and at a distance, it will not ovivously, but it all depends on your play style, if you like those long range rifle fights, then use the DMR or LR or something like that, but if you like CQC then feel free to jump around and shoot and punch stuff, thats the nice about halo you can be good at the game with any weapon, personally i got to go to the covey side and pick the Storm rifle and carbine, because anything that shoots slow, makes me angry, so yes i do believe that it is better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarknessX03 Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 I believe I will adore the AR in Halo 4. It looks much more powerful and.. the noise! Yesss.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killerdude1635 Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 Halo Reach's AR was the weakest by far. It took I think, 19 shots to kill a fully shielded spartan while, 3 took 16-14 and CE took less but I don't know the number.. I hope this one is stronger..

Tallgeese Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 From my time at SDCC the AR was great for CGC...it killed way faster than Reach and HAlo 3, felt like CE. But on more open maps the Carbine and LR were the way to go for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ventus Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 I love the AR, so I'm hoping it will be buffed up a bit in Halo 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarknessX03 Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 From what I've seen it has been. I think I'm gonna love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorB77 Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 A while ago 343i saod that the AR will have a little more punch to it. So i think that it will work nicely in halo 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
