Maybe this AR is a different model? I think Bungie posted the weapon profiles, will have to check out the explicit model number compared to Halo 1/3. It would be wise of Bungie to give it a different ending alphacode due to the really different look.
The DMR isn't the BR...plain and simple. Obviously they're based off one another (however, who knows which came which since Cole Protocol had the BR in it...). The comparison of the DMR to the BR is like trying to compare the M249 to the M240. Yes, they both look closely alike, but one has a longer barrel, different fire rate, and larger caliber (etc).
What I'm starting to wonder...is if they're going the ODST route again with dual wielding? No one has come out and said it, nor has there been any pictures to really confirm it.
Yeah, I think the DMR is pretty ugly, but otherwise I do like the increased level of detail on it (and the AR). It will probably end up being my favorite gun because of how it plays.
Interesting question, KM. I for one think duel wielding should be in Reach, because I've felt since Halo 2 that it added a great level of depth to the weapon system. I also liked the equipment system in Halo 3, and my first reaction is to be disappointed that it's changing in Reach, but upon further thought, this may be an improvement. The key for me is how it will work in multiplayer.
The Assault Rifle is the MA37, and is supposed to feel the most like the original AR from Halo 1.Quote:

Kat's character raises a really obvious question: if technology allows for fully-functioning prosthetic limb replacement, why spend time and money raising child-soldiers, when you could just implant smart AIs in robot bodies?
Just because they can make good prostheses doesn't mean they have the capability to make a full robot. Sure, it might be a small plot hole, but you can also look at it this way: if they could have, they would have. Also, fully intelligent AIs are references as being extremely expensive in the books. I'm rereading The Fall of Reach to try to refresh my memory on the history.Quote:

wat. I like the new AR. It's the BR that looks retarded, even from a realism/hi-def standpoint. It looks heavy as hell, it looks downright unwieldly, and the front sight should be flipped down since it has a scope anyways.Quote:

Hell, all the one from Halo 3 needed was a little more punch and it would have been perfect. Not an OP weapon like the BR or M6D, but a decent gun to have with you whenever you needed something to fall back on.
