I'm digging the Assault rifle. Totally seems like a prototype weapon. It looks like the halo assault rifle, just missing parts of it like the grip and the area around the ammo counter.

What the hell did they do to my assault rifle...it looks so ugly...
This was my first impression. Just looked like a more clunky and prototype of the AR. I love it too.Quote:

I don't expect Reach to be any different.
Props to Bungie for nailing the console shooter so well- they may change the story and the appearance, but it will always at least feel like Halo, and that's fantastic.
I love the new AR.
Prototype? Why would they be using a prototype of the AR when it was available in Halo CE...which took place mere days, if not hours, within the Fall of Reach.
Please, somebody give me a bullshit answer to justify this change. A prototype of the Battle Rifle would make more sense, since that's what they found in the CASTLE armory along with the Magnum and SMG.
Reach was the main center of the military. So it would be a place to test new/prototype weapons and such.Quote:
