Hi.. I would like to know what is the best halo 3 ma5c assault rifle weapon tags on this site? I would like good animations,good reticule,and good textures and shaders, can someone link me to a good tag like this? Please? Thanks.

Not to be rude, but it is amazing what saying "H3 Assault Rifle" on the Halo Maps CE search gets you :)

Btw, get both of these, the top one is the real one, and the bottom one has the fixes for the top one.

I personally think Assault Rifle is overrated... completely useless in Halo 1, and a n00b sprayer's weapon in Halo 3. An exact replica would work terribly on Halo CE's "lead your shots" netcode. I can't imagine why everyone loves it so much, could someone explain to me what I'm missing?

Oh and also, as for those tags, the animations point the weapon too low for the crosshair.

The assault rifle is a good weapon for single player. It's a nice overall weapon.

i actually used the assault rifle alot when i was playing with my friends on the xbox. i see alot of use for it now with the netcode too. it has ALOT of autoaim which makes it a force to be reckoned with up close. a shotgun would do you better for all intents and purposes, but its a nice starting weapon nontheless rather than spawning with a pistol and not having to pick anything else up.

Sure beats the hell out of starting with an SMG likw in H2.

yeah what the hell was that? look at all the players with their battle rifles. look at you spawning with an smg and a magnum.

and didnt the ar have a sort of aim bot system
i just remember playing it and the recticle somtimes was dragged to the enemy
sry fr the spelling

the AR is simply an icon, it's a huge badass gun, want chief on the cover with a tiny smg? hell no...





you get the point

Good with 50% no shields (*cough*) and single player (I'd use plasma pistol and the assault rifle on legendary then use the pistol and plasma rifle any day). Other then that, the assault rifle (to me) is a place holder for something awesome in Halo 1.

Too true. At least the SMG and Plasma Rifle dual wielding combo isn't spammed in a small map as much as the AR. But then again, it's the the default (re-)spawning weapon.

Yeah. Last time I checked bullets don't come from the top of the muzzle, piecing though it. Just don't hope that the bullets suddenly come out out of the muzzle, but instead the ammo meter...

Responses in their respective colours.

rip the one from hyrules map it has one in there that looks halo 3 ish

The original Hyrule Field or then new ones?

The original hyrule field had a weapon called a combat rifle, which is no where near halo 3.

the new one

I dont remember there being an assault rifle.

type this Cheat_all_weapons it will apear.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not.

I believe that the assault rifle was a rather poorly done weapon in H1. Massive ammo capacity and damage, and if you tap the firing button/trigger, (which you should with all full auto weapons, especially the assault rifle and smg) it had fair accuracy. All of these traits in one gun simply does not make for good gameplay. They fixed the assault rifle in Halo 3 though. Smaller magazine with lower rate of fire and about the same damage. It's not a "n00b sprayer." I don't know where you got that from. But it's a balanced weapon.

so true ma5b h1 ar sukkkkkssssss

The Ma5C is a beautifully recreated weapon, Bungie did a nice job on it. The only thing that I hate about it is how hard it is to replicate the reload, it's effed up beyond belief.

It's not overrated, it's just the Chief's signature weapon. I personally think that the Assault Rifle in Snow_Grove is pretty well done also, leading with it is simple enough and I can kill a guy with a clip if I focus just a bit. It's a reasonably balanced weapon and so widely used that people just had to start demanding it for CE.

Well I still think the assault rifle from the map hyabusa ruined(or atleast thats how I remember it) was very well done, though mostly in the animations. Out of all the animations for the assault rifle I think I would rather prefer that one. Also video on the map... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yQRKclG7nM

Halo 1 Assualt Rifle = Halo 2 and 3's SMGs.
Same ammoclip and slightly longer range.

Actually Halo 3's SMG's damage is toned down from Halo 2, since its no longer the main weapon.

No. SMGs do less damage, fire faster, and are intended to be dual wielded.

but if ur making a map the ma5c would be a better companion to the smg than ma5b

I bet a lot of little halo obsessed 5 year olds are thinking, "lol wut?ur serious?aw ****!!!no wonder I cant pwn at snowgrove..."

Uh guys... /thread problem is already solved now. I have really good assault rifles now. I finally found some that look like halo 3.

um, the halo 3 assault rifle IS a noob sprayer weapon, as you call it, because the assault rifle in halo 1 took skill to use properly. im sure none of you have ever fired automatic weapons. after the 3rd shot or so, the recoil has caused your accuracy to become so far off target that you are just wasting ammunition if you continue to fire. stop getting your ideas on how guns work from games like call of duty because they are not at all realistic
in halo 3, burst firing the assault rifle does nothing to your advantage. in halo 1, 3 shot bursts, combined with the bullet magnetism, made the weapon a force to be reckoned with if you knew what you were doing.

I lol'ed at this. The AR in Halo1 straight-off is a noob sprayer weapon because it took no brain to use. Literally. Halo3's is like that, but you can do more with it and actually defend for yourself. Don't say the BR isn't a noob weapon (now) because in Halo3 it's the easiest way to get a consistent streak of kills. The H3 SMG isn't noob because it's not only rarely used but is also needed to be taken into consideration on how to use correctly.

In H1, the AR was kinky. So Kinky that Short bursts did you no good. I could shoot three round bursts and have my bullets barely hit my target. Now if you're saying to constantly press the trigger on a target, then by all means I agree with you. The H3 AR is a bit more reliable and helpful whenever you're almost screwed over. You wouldn't want two melees to kill you before you could even do jack with the AR now would you? No, I doubt not. Also, it is more formidable against the BR than the SMG.

lets just get this straight:

h3 ma5c=pwnage

h1 ma5b=suukkkkkkaaagggeee

thats my opinion and im not changin it.
we all have our opinions but lets not spam the thread with opinions.if you HAVE to do so make an assault rifle controversy thread.

For mp, the ar sucks nuts overall in h1. It's only good if your using it in a close quarters map, or happen to be in one of those gay 1 minute fights with someone else. At a range, the shots are completely random. The autoaim just looks fuc*ing retarded, you see the contrail missing him by about 10 degrees, but he is magically hit?
I dunno.... but alot of the full auto guns for halo 1-:(o)

nvm

Well for me the assault rifle isn't THAT bad in halo 1, if to say I only had a pistol and assault rifle in a round and happened to use up all my rounds for the pistol while in combat I would pull out the assault rifle and try to kill him but being smart I used it in bursts and surely enough I killed him(and that was acualy at medium range). The halo 1 assault rifle is not completely useless although I would much rather prefer other guns such as a shotgun, plasma rifle or even better a sniper rifle.

True, I also use the AR up close (or when I have to reload with the pistol in the middle of a fight) or until I find a better weapon like a BR or something.

Actually when you get the shotgun for the first time in the halo1 campaign, it completly shades the AR. From that point and beyond, each time you see a shotgun you will change the AR for it, specially in flood situations.

QFT

Honestly, the shotgun in H1 was everyone's favorite weapon by the time they finished the campaign the first time.

Still, plasma rifle + pistol>all
