According to BioWare, wherever you pre-order ME3 you'll get the Argus. This page says the gun will be included with all pre-order bonuses, does this include Amazon? While the Best Buy image is lower-res and at an angle, it's still more consistent with the images for other weapons. While this image is the one of the BioWare site, it's part of a larger advertisement and features redundant text. Foxtrot Zero 18:39, Janu(UTC) ImageĪnyone else much prefer the Best Buy image? I use the past tense because, had you paid closer attention, you'd realise that the Argus was officially confirmed as an Assault Rifle about 18 days ago. Those lines blur in the ME series, and coupled with the fact that we were yet to see it in action, it couldn't be known for sure, and the ME wiki has strict policy against speculation. GroverA125 16:16, Janu(UTC)įrankly, if you put a scope on a Mattock, or took one off the Incisor, you could call it a Sniper or Assault rifle, respectively. You never know though, it could possibly fill both roles with attachments added. Though it may possibly be able to function similarly to a sniper rifle in-game (IIRC, we were given info about scopes being available for weapons, which could include a sniper scope), but it's an assault rifle, the only other category would be sniper, but all snipers are shown with the scope already attached, and of course that gameplay shows it without one (and with zoom relative to assault rifles, not snipers). Of course it's classified as an assault rifle. How is a "close-range" rifle going to be a sniper rifle? - Der Schreiber 16:29, Janu(UTC)Īssault Rifle confirmed! (Preorder bonuses announced officially by Bioware.right now, it looks like the same bonuses across US retailers.) Trandra 03:51, Janu(UTC) Again, until we have proof supporting a classification, putting into a category where it might not be, is speculation. It might even end up being a sniper rifle for all we know. Saying "t's right up there on the Best Buy website" says nothing because nothing in the description says it will be an AR. There is nothing in the description that says it will be an AR, or any other proof to support that. Only thing missing is the word 'assault'. Description, image, instructions and all, and said description quite clearly describes an assault rifle. It's right up there on the Best Buy website.

Lancer1289 05:44, Janu(UTC) I'm with Schreiber on this one. Did it every occur to you that BioWare could add another class before release? Or that this my not be what you think? Either get proof that it will be an assault rifle, which isn't in the description or anywhere else for that matter, or putting this into an assault rifle category classifies this as speculation, and therefore not allowed in the article. The leaked information I'm referring to is the weapon classes. Der Schreiber 05:39, Janu(UTC)Īnd that was the wrong edit summary. How can this be considered leaked information when it is currently up on the Best Buy website and easily accessible? The only reference that I've seen about any potential "leak" was Chris Priestly expressing some surprise that some stores were already publishing their exclusives. I read your "Removed for a reason." Which really doesn't explain any particular reason. Henceforth, my edit summary when I removed, which you also apparently failed to read. Therefore until we know for certain, we will not categorize it into a category that we don't know it will be. This could end up being a heavy weapon for all you know.

Classifying this as something we don't know that it will be is speculation, and therefore not permitted. We do not permit speculation in articles, which is one of the reasons that one thing you have done today is up for deletion. For reference, and this is something that you apparently didn't consider, things can change. What you are dealing with is leaked and pre-release information. How can this not be considered to be an assault rifle? Mass Effect 3 has 6 categories of weapons: heavy, pistol, smg, assault rifle, shotgun, and sniper rifle. The name rifle is in its very name and its description. Reasons the Argus Rifle shouldn't be considered to be an assault rifle?
