Line 36: Line 36:
The Assault Rifle was introduced as the default weapon in [[Halo 1]]. Unfortunately Bungie did not like how the rifle behaved, so it did not make it into [[Halo 2]] and was "replaced" with two weapons: the [[Battle Rifle]] and the [[SMG]]. This weapon will return in [[Halo 3]] as the [[MA5C Assault Rifle]].

==Effective Against==


[[Grunts]], [[Jackals]] (only when shield is down), [[Flood]], and mounted weapons as suppressive fire. It can also be extremely effective against Elites if used when their shields are down. On the Easy or Normal skill levels, cutting loose with the Assault Rifle at close range will cut through an elite's shield in seconds.
The assault rifle is also highly effective against Elite Rangers who attack with active camouflage. Aside from being able to quickly cut down these unshielded elites, the high rate of fire disrupts their camouflage and makes it very easy to center on them for a quick finish.
