Paul Bertone has been my favorite guest so far. Excellent, excellent show.
And apparently a guy cannot share his opinion without everyone else going nuts.

Pfftt...the AR is soooooooooooooooo much better than the SMG.
Starting with the SMG completely ruined Halo 2 for me.

The Assault Rifle was awesome in the beta. I don't know what Blueblur1 is smoking, but I don't want any of it.

Try short, controlled bursts!

OK, you start with SMG, I start with AR, one on one, Guardian. I should only win a notch more games, right?

Nonsense. The Assault Rifle is the perfect starting weapon and I personally feel it's the best all around weapon available in the game.

You're out of your mind.
The AR is far better than the SMG. It's not even close.
Okay, I never said the AR was the
worse weapon in the game. I'm sorry if
you all misunderstood and got that impression. But it was by far not a great starting weapon. I'm personally a fan of the Battle Rifle,
like Luke, and I perceive it to be a better starting weapon whether anyone agrees with me or not.
I've played well over 13,000 games of Halo 2; I understood how to use the Assault Rifle in the Beta and I do not abhor it nor do I love it. I think I'm being reasonable when I say that its a little bit better than the SMG. And just like with the [Halo 2] SMG I found myself running to pick up another weapon at the start of every match to do some owning (preferrably dual Spikers or SMGs). In fact, I often found myself picking up a single SMG (because only one was at the spawn point) and being more successful with that weapon (I loved it in the Beta).
In fact, if it hasn't been changed since its incarnation in the Beta, I'd gladly take that challenge, Frankie. Hell, I'll take that challenge even if it was the Halo 2 SMG.
My problems with the AR start with the ammo clip and end with its range. If it was a tiny bit more accurate as well and had at least 12 more bullets in one clip than it would be much better. But that's my
opinion. I'm sorry you all had a problem with me expressing it.
Oh, and...
