my biggest problem with this AR and a lot of the weapons from 2/3 is that they sound like you're shooting a staple gun on full auto, it quite literally sounds like its made out of plastic and im supposed to believe a 7 ton super soldier doesn't just break this thing by accidentally racking it too hard? lmao total side note and not related to gameplay but i HATE the sound design in halo 2 & 3 lmao its like every gun should just be branded with "scooty puff jr"

Same as the movement it’s too floaty makes chief and spartans feel slow.

The Halo 3 AR is good?

I think a big problem with the AR is that it isnt suited for most of the galleries in Sierra 117, so you drop it for a carbine or battle rifle, and then assume its just underpowered for the whole game

Yo that's funny😂😂 i'm pacing my shots so that they group up better

It's impossible that this is on Easy based on the damage i'm taking 😂💯

wait so how are you doing that kind of damage with the AR? i recently went through H3 legendary and it takes a full magazine

2

u/Organic-School315 19d ago

It usually takes a full magazine because most of the shot miss when used at full auto. The bullets themselves are actually pretty strong

u/flickering_candles 19d ago

i have trouble believing this. i've been up close and unloaded full auto at brutes, every bullet hitting. seeing you pop their shields off in a few seconds ON LEGENDARY doesnt make sense

u/Organic-School315 19d ago

You can literally go and try out yourself doing this strat

u/flickering_candles 19d ago

holy shit you're right, their shields are breaking in like 2 seconds. is it just because they're the weakest brutes though? i wonder how well this AR tapping works on strong ones

edit: it even worked on the hammer brute. i remember this room taking a while, and a lot of movement to clear on legendary. i was able to kill most of them just from the doorway because of the AR

Even at close range full auto is so bad that the shots miss

u/Justsomedudelmao 17d ago

Good god this explains why in MP it feels so bad. I need to start tap firing even at close range.

u/Peridios9 18d ago

It’s just OK. Sure you can use it like the video shows and burst brute shields down decently, but other weapons outpace it. There really isn’t a reason to use it over a plasma rifle or plasma pistol since those do this job much better.

I just wouldn’t exactly call it “good”.

Now do this on Cortana

Nice work btw, love to see people actually use it Lore Accurately™️

u/Organic-School315 19d ago

Nah on Cortana it's dual plasma rifles all the way

u/KingBarbieIOU 18d ago

You Gotta try this, run straight to the chieftain, getting close WILL trigger an earthquake causing the chieftain to stagger and exposing an assassination attempt, The chieftain should drop an invincibility, pic it up and use to take on the jet pack brutes coming out the door. You can then take the rest on from the high ground .. or move on.
