The Assault Rifle is a weapon featured in the multiplayer component of Halo 2: Anniversary. The weapon was not featured in the original Halo 2 due to its replacement by the SMG, but was reintroduced in Anniversary. As the game is built on the Halo 4 iteration of the Blam engine, the Assault Rifle in this game shares many attributes with the variant from that game.
