This new screenshot is sweet! I believe that one of the spartans just died and is about to drop his battle rifle and shotgun. It looks like three teemmate spartans are getting ambushed by the red team.(you can see a red spartan in the cannon equiped hog in the back) Either its too dark to see the blue teams color or the surrounding environment actually affects your suit. Those plasma beams has got to be from some type of plasma weapon also.

i think this topic is dead stosh, everyone seems to be out of ideas and there has not been a post about the picture in quite some time, but anyways i just thought id bring up a little question for debate. How are these screens taken(if anyone knows) if it is on a lan, than im guessing one guy has a full screen, with another TV with 3 people, which might change the way these guys are playing. for example lets say for the sake of argument that the guy up front(PP/SMG) is the full screen guy, that means the three out back are all on the same screen, which could explain where the dusty guy is going, he may know the warthog guy is coming and is A)going to blow him away or B) going to grab gunner and mow down all things living. thats MY two cents......GRUNTS RULE!!

Through developer Xboxes that only developers get to use. They record the game, find a spot they like, and take a pretty picture.

Bungie split the old MA4B ASSAULT RIFLE into two types of weapons. 1: The fast shooting close range SMG'S 2: and the long range battle rifle with scope. The new magnum pistol is probably replacing the old Mag. It's gonna be sweet!

No one has given me a link or the name and issue of magazine to prove what has been said. I am going to be stubborn and stand my ground. Unless any of the following three conditions are met, I Will Not Believe You. Period.

1. Bungie States in Specifically on this website.
2. You provide me a direct link to where it says what you have said.
3. Give me the exact name and issue number of the magazine, that has Bungie's official word in it, that states that the MA5B and M6D have been replaced.

Besides it makes no sense military wise to do it. You can't possibly resupply everyone in the UNSC in under a month or two with these new weapons. We can't make that many and transport them all in time for the Covenant invasion. Plus these new weapons are PROTOTYPES meaning THEY'RE NOT FOR EVERYONE.

So please show me where you people found your info, because I have been all around this site and nothing even remotely suggests the MA5B or M6D disappearing. If anything with the scrrenshots that include several of the other old guns(i.e. M90 Shotgun, SRS99C S2 AM Sniper Rifle, Plasma Pistol, Needler,etc.) suggest that the old classics will come back. maybe even with a few new 'tweaks' to them. Like making the MA5B a little stronger and the M6D a little weaker.

I agree. Lets see the source, and then maybe we'll believe you.

I also agree. Plus, we see a shotgun right there.

We need hard eveidence. What some people are saying, as Hik pointed out, doesn't even make sense.

Trust no one but Bungie... even magazines lie. A lot. They lie LOTS.

Yeah it says NOTHING about there NOT BEING the MA5B OR the M6D. it just shows the pretty little pictures. No words stating that my precious favorites are gone. Now make sure you know what you speak of before you give me stuff I already know. I am well aware of what the Spartans get in First Strike. I've memorized the freaking Halo 2 videos where I can say them in my sleep. I have also read each Halo book at least a dozen times. So I know at least my story line stuff that I talk about. Plus I buy every magazine that has ANYTHING to do with Halo 2. And I have seen nothing stating those two guns are gone. And Yes I am aware of the new SMG, Battle Rifle, and Pistol, but their exsistence does not throw out the others. So please make sure when you give me info that it is clearly stated. I guess I should have mentioned that before. Too bad.

Man I'm off to a bad start.

ohh, the topic... remember dude, the Covenant are doing us a favor here..... hehe

If Bungie takes the AR/pistol out of halo 2, i'll eat my XBOX and take pictures, and post them here.

Change is good as long as you don't take away the good. I am looking forward to the new SMG, Battle Rifle, and the new Pistol. But I still want the old stuff. Now is that really so bad? really?

what are you talking about.
i just think that it would be smart just to replace one with the better one. Is that so wrong.

Power is not always the best thing in the word. Especially if you want to show skill and a shred of intelligence, which seems to be lacking. Think about it. Using a weaker weapon that sprays bullets like crazy can help in a game like Halo 2. By firing the nice long 60 round clip you can force the enemy to keep their heads down allowing you to get closer and get the kill. Also by using a smaller caliber weapon you can prove that you are capable of defeating even the mightiest of enemies with inferior firepower and superior intelligence. Unless of course you are still stuck on level one as your post suggests? So I say keep the old, the old is what forged Halo and will keep it going.
Stealth and inteligence can get the kill too. Also I love pwning with the pistol. I also love just spraying bullets with the assult rifle. So I say I like the -blam!- old weapons! Even though the pistol is extremely overpowered, i still love it. I hope all the old weapons come back. I still want the new ones, dont get me wrong, i think they're awesome.

wow thats really an eye opener...
but i still think that they are just going to replace the old with the new. for two reasons.

Battle rifle: Created for Quick sniping and going fully auto with the power of the MA5B
SMG: Going fully auto and making your enemys drop to cover as you stated so you can go in for the kill (but i have only seen elites jump out of the way from granades, they just sort of do a Axel rose side step to dodge bullets.

Going in for teh kill with the more powerful pistol. i would rather kill some one with 2 head shots instead of 3.

That new screenshot is awesome. I can't tell really whether it is a slayer or team slayer game, but that guy in the middle in the far back looks alittle red.

Or what could be done is this.

The Battle Rifle could be used as like a more pinpoint rifle weapon, while the MA5B is close/medium ranged support. Also have the two pistols. The old for sniping, the other for no-sniping, but serious knock down power as a kick back for no scope. As is the high rate of fire on the MA5B for not having an accurate scope/ more punch.
