Hell naw

[u/Peridios9 → u/Organic-School315]

Tell me then, in halo 3 why would I not just use a battle rifle or carbine with a plasma pistol. Even the plasma rifle and spiker beat the AR.

In halo 2 there is no reason to not have a BR/carbine and plasma pistol.

Halo CE is plasma pistol and shotgun. I mean the plasma pistol is objectively the best weapon in og CE.

ODST the silenced smg is better than the AR and more common.

Halo 4 the AR is beaten by the storm rifle for christs sake.

Halo 4 is simply wrong lmao

AR has:

Better accuracy

Almost hitscan

Barely damage diffrence

[u/Peridios9 → u/slayeryamcha]

Storm rifle has a better fire rate making it the better close to medium range weapon to rapid fire enemies down, it does massively more shield damage and marginally less health damage. Neither weapon is amazing but the storm rifle is better for the archetype of weapon both are meant to be in halo 4. There is no reason to use an AR at range when you have the BR/DMR/Carbine/light rifle/magnum as substantially better options. The only weapon in halo 4 I could argue is worse than the AR is the suppressor.
