Assault rifle

which halo game had your favorite assault rifle and why. For example my favorite was the HaloCE A-rifle because the redical did not move and the weopon delt heavy damage.

MA37 from Reach.

sounded good, was really accurate, and the turning point for the AR actually being useful in a halo game

Halo 5 for actual effectiveness, Halo CE for nostalgia. I’m not even gonna talk about Halo 3.

There was an assault rifle in halo 3!?!? :no_mouth::boom:

H4 it was powerful and effective than any other halo AR ive ever used.

yeah it is actually useful in 4 and 5 so those

I was going to have both of these as my favorites, for the same exact reasons.

Halo 4. Awesome sound (especially with Turtle Beach headset) and damage. It was my most used weapon in multiplayer

Yes, but it sounded like you were making popcorn when firing it. Halo 2 has been the only game so far to not have the Assault Rifle.

Nothing quite like expending multiple 60-round mags against a horde of pursuing Flood in CE to get the nostalgia flowing.
Being forced to use it against Elites on Legendary however, not so much.

Original Halo AR, personally. Maybe it’s just nostalgia, though.

I think the rocks Fred and Kelly through at Jackals were more effective than the Halo 3 AR.

Halo 4 has my favorite AR in terms of aesthetics and sound, I don’t agree with the green on the standard rifle in 5 and the new sound is definitely a downgrade in my opinion. That being said Halo 5 definitely has the most effective AR.

Halo Combat Evolved had the best sounding Assault Rifle, but I am going to be the weirdo here and say that my favorite AR is the Halo 3 Assault Rifle. I don’t know why, it just works in my opinion, far better than anything after Halo 3. But to be fair, my first Halo game that I played online was Halo 3, so yeah.

Halo CE 60 rounds of the most pure happyness

AR in CE. Why? Because I only ever found it useful against the flood. Shotgun/AR loadout on Flood infested missions.

Halo 5 one because its actually powerful

Halo 5’s AR
It’s effective, look’s nice and sounds good.

But I’m one of those few players who enjoy playing with the AR in general. It’s the nostalgic feeling that makes the rifle special to me.

Gonna have to go with the Halo 5 AR too. Halo 4s was good, but it was still the first weapon I threw away when I got the chance. In 5, I actually hesitate to toss my AR…and the first couple rounds of a match of Warzone Assault are not just people spamming with pistols (okay maybe it is but not as much as it could be)

My favorite assault rifle is the one in Halo 3.
Although I can understand why people would compare its sound to a popcorn machine, I personally really like the sound it makes, and I think that it sounds particularly good in the Halo Wars cutscenes in which it appears.
