Though I have seen some footage latly on the AR and the Stormrifle(Both seem really amazing) and since I’m the kinda guy who enjoys blasting enemies with lead or plasma with rapid firepower do they still follow the same rules like they did in reach? short controled bursts or is there a new method to the murder? I’m just curious and want to know your opinons ‘3’
oh and is there a forerunner version?

The bloom doesn’t look quite as sensitive on automatic weapons as the bloom in Reach, and the amount of possible bloom on the autos we’ve seen so far (AR and Storm Rifle) looks like it maxes out at about the size of the spread in Halo CE, which I’m not positive about (hope I’m right, though).
I’m betting you’ll have to use controlled bursts at a distance in order to do any damage, but in closer-quarters, you’ll be able to just unload full-auto with decent accuracy. That’s what it looks like from the E3 gameplay videos I’ve seen, anyway. Looks perfect to me.
I’ve read there’s a few other Forerunner weapons we haven’t seen in action yet, and I believe one is supposed to be capable of firing full-auto. I’ll edit the link into this post if I can find it.
Edit: Found 'em. It’s called “the Repeater”; I guess that’s not really evidence enough to say it’s an automatic Forerunner weapon, though, so I take that back.
