Personally I dont like it to much. I think its too week and the magazine is far to small. Having to reaload befroe the other guy is almost in instant death. In halo 2 starting out with an smg was better becasue you could always pick up one more gun to dual wield. what are your guys thoughts?

I like to use it in combination with the BR/Carbine. It comes in handy during close quarters. Of course this is if I don't have a shotty.

its clip is enough, i can take out guys no problem with it, and it takes the focus away from duel wielding and gives it more value when you do it, starting with an unduelwieldable makes the game better in my mind

The AR is great, especially as a starting weapon.

might be becuase all you had to do was take a charged plasma pistol and then switch to assault rifle at the head and they're dead. May have got complained about too much because ppl were getting their a**es handed to them with that combo :D.

The only complaint I have about the AR is that they should have made it A LOT louder... sometimes I feel annoyed the weapon is so quiet.

I like the assault rifle, its a good starting weapon that a skilled player wont get completely demolished by other midrange guns on the map, the smg was bad because you had to first pick up a dw combo to make it effective. I do wish it was louder, and to those who say they run out of ammo, remember CONTROLLED BURSTS!

Just don't complain about weapons, if you don't know how to use it don't,there's more weapons on the map. If you're good at halo 3 though like me you can get a triple kill with the assault sometimes. It's not hard at all to get a double with it. Pump a few bullets in someone with it, melee, reload, turn, pump a few shots, melee, double kill. Easy.

Personally I dont like it to much. I think its too week and the magazine is far to small. Having to reaload befroe the other guy is almost in instant death. In halo 2 starting out with an smg was better becasue you could always pick up one more gun to dual wield. what are your guys thoughts?

Halo 3 is quite possably one of the easiest shooters i've ever played.... bragging about being good online seems a little... pointless, enjoy that anyway.

All hail the return of the assualt rilfe. God i missed it in halo 2, the clips has been reduced from 60 but thats fine cause the damage has been upped a little, a full clip of the new one is enough to kill someone, its also good for melee combo after a burst.

Starting with an SMG in halo 2 was a huge mistake, simply because everyone just started dual wielding and stopped using grenades and melee (this was actually sited by the devs as one of the greatest flaws of Halo 2 multi as the essence of Halo 1's multi was Guns, Nades and Melee).

I only wish the original pistol would have made a return, that thing was awesome. But ill guess ill just stick with my AR/BR or Carbine combo :)

i think its pretty good overall because it has a good range and the limited clip size makes you be more careful instead of just using the spray and pray method. plus the limited clip requires you to use grenades and melee more

I have to disagree with the fact that no one uses nades or melee. If I'm close enough I will press B to melee even if I am dual wielding. Same thing for grenades. I just drop it and throw, for example when I'm right about to die.

sure, if you run around all game you at least get 2 or 3 kills, sorry you don't get more. Play with better people and it will actually make it hard and fun. Stick with the other games you have.

Did you read what I typed at all? Halo 3 is rediculously easy going from a strong background of online pc shooters to halo 3 on xbox live.... I wasn't insulting you, I was saying it's a little pointless bragging about it.

Ok I'm sure you have some complaints about weapons like maybe the noob combo or energy sword, so dont give that every weapon in a halo game is perfect.

I actualy wish you got just 5 or 10 more shots out of it before the clip runs out. But Im assuming since it takes nearly a full clip to take someone out thats exactly why they dont give you those extra shot. You should definitly always aim for the head. Takes only a few rounds that way. Then give em a good wack!

Amen to that! My ONLY complaint is that my favourite gun in the franchise now sounds like a pellet gun instead of the machine powered-kickass-orama it is supposed to sound like...

Yea i have to agree because im already a major on halo3 but it was easy getting there because the game pretty much aims its self when you shoot someone, plus im not even really that good at the game but like you said its just too easy and people cant see that.

smg was better becasue you could always pick up one more gun to dual wield. what are your guys thoughts?AtomBomb808

main reason the AR was put into the game, the smg was a really bad weapon to start with gameplay wise cause it was simple (duel weild, and you'll kill) which is why the AR is good, its balanced

The assault rifle is good for going against Flood and close-ish range online... that's about it. :lol:
