They later explained why they felt this way, saying, “I’ve been waiting since 2007 for an AR that’s actually good. Infinite finally delivered. If 343 decides to nerf it back to its mediocre CQC spray down archetype, it’ll be like I lost my son.”

As a gun that’s usually thrown to the wayside in favor of the Battle Rifle in previous Halos, the Assault Rifle seeing more usage is a welcome sight for many Halo fans. This can be seen by the echoing of throwingawayboyz sentiments in the Reddit thread.

“AR is perfect right now. It’s good but it’ll still be beaten by a perfect BR or pistol even at close range,” said one. “Also, I really don’t think it has as much range as people say —‌  it’s in the perfect spot right now.”
