It sucks, You use it to shield break, and switch to your second gun to kill. Drop it ASAP.

>>736948594
The AR is to mulch grunts and stagger Jackals, not much else.
Plasma pistol/rifle to take out Elite shields (or jackal shields), shotgun to mulch Flood and everything else, pistol to headshot elites and hunters.

>do i just have a massive skill issue for 25 years
This one. It's a 60 round bullet hose that staggers unshielded enemies.
Unless you are playing multiplayer where the only weapons worth using are the magnum and the sniper.

Halo was made by Japanese to program Americans to violence. They used it to make rifles look cool. And to make killing people who look different cool. Because most Americans look completely different to one another. And it taught them to always trust Japanese people, who are their leader. Japans probably the biggest powerhouse on the globe. They own it all. Fuck japan, they won.

>>736948594
It's an SMG, not an AR for functionality. That's why H2 replaced it with one. Same for how the Magnum became the Battle Rifle at the literal code level.
>>
>>736950873
needler and rocket launcher r fun tho right? i get a lot of kills with both
>>
>>736948594
The problem is that why wouldn't you be using the pistols? Then it gets nerf'd in future games where you would actually think of using it
>>
>>736950586
I usually rock shotgun and assault rifle by the time the flood arrive
>>
>>736948594
If you're not point blank range then you have to use short controlled bursts or you won't hit the broadside of a barn.

It's functionally a CQC weapon like the Halo 2 SMG that replaced it

They really perfected the weapon balance by Halo 3

Americans are actually Japanese dogs used for slavery. Every American pays Japan big time. You should see how nice Japan is compared to America, they literally walk around in kimonos and sandles like it’s a vacation. They’re trained in the art of war from an early age in dojos, and tons of them open carry their blades. Samurai violence in Japan is not much of a problem, they usually only cut down American women who won’t fuck ninjas.

I always think of G4 when I see Halo threads.

In the original halo it shoots 15 rounds a second and does 10 damage a shot, but only 7 to shields. A wombo combo of alpha strike of charged plasma pistol followed up by this downs a target in 8/15ths of a second.

>>736948594
halo AR has always ranged from alright to just shit, even the cases its supposed to be used for other weapons just do it better

It's crazy there's no game with the level of balance and weapon complexity Halo 3 had 20 years ago
The number of viable weapons that were also unique and played different is unmatched
>Battle Rifle well-balanced all-around dominant weapon that's not hitscan and takes good aim
>Plama Rifle + Melee - strong up close
>Mauler + Melee - strong up close
>SMG+Plasma Rifle dominant close-range no melee
>Smg + Pistol
>Brute Shot
>Plasma Pistol swap to BR - Noob Combo
>Carbine
And then Power Weapons
>Sword
>Shotgun
>Rockets
>Spartan Laser for vehicle control
>Hammer
>Beam Rifle
>Sniper
And then Vehicles were good too and controlling them was integral to winning
>Warthog was a beast
>but several weapons to deal with it
Hate how Microsoft and Bungie basically have killed Halo
>>
>>736948594
I thought Halo was the first FPS to put info right on the gun, but Psygnosis did it years before with Codename Tenka.

But Americans have always loved violence. The country was founded upon it. Fuck off weeb
>>
>>736952149
Very unusual game. Played tons of pre-analog fps games and this one has the weirdest controls of them all.
>>
>>736948594
Out of all the Halo games, the Halo 1 AR is by far the deadliest even on Legendary. So yeah you're doing something wrong. On legendary it will kill an elite in one mag, which takes 4 seconds to dump.

>>736951237
The issue with the needler is that by the time you put enough needles in someone for them to detonate, the other guy already stripped your shield with the magnum and is one headshot away from killing you, so it's a trade most of the time.

>>736952234
im just talking about pvp i can use it fine in pve
>>
>>736952149
I played the shit out of that on the Demo 1 disc.
>>
>>736952203
I assume the PC version controls more sanely.

might be the best gun in the game

>>736948594
My favourite gun

>>736952343
It's very RNG damage-wise if you hold it down, less random but obviously lower potential if you burst fire, and even in the best case scenario it won't beat a 3-shot from the pistol.
