Description:
The Assault Rifle has been brought back from the first installment in the Halo series with a few modifications like greater accuracy, more range, and more damage per hit. Accuracy is high when fired in bursts, and the overall accuracy of this weapon is good at medium ranges (even higher at close). This is a very good all round weapon that can be effective in almost all situations if used correctly, and is an even better weapon with grenades, and melee attacks (this goes with any weapon).

Description:
The Battle Rifle was one of the most popular weapons in Halo 2 for players with good aiming. In Halo 3, Bungie has balanced the weapons in a way that doesn't overshadow other weapons, yet not underpowered. With reduced aim assist, this weapon takes even more effort to be used effectively. And the new, heavier, sound is so rewarding. You're in a battle. Bring your Battle Rifle.
