I think it would be cool if they brounght back the MA5B AR and turned it into a light machine gun. Extend the barrel a bit, and but a bipod on it. Give it a dual drum kit and viola, now we have a complete human arsenal. To balance it out the barrel would have a meter that would show the heat, and after prolonged periods of shooting, it would overheat and cause you to stop. The ammo used would be a little bigger than the rounds used in the first game, but they wouldnt be as powerful and big as the new BR round.
Many people hate the idea of a machine gun, but this is mostly due to that when some idiot brings up the notion of a minigun. Halo isnt Doom, or Unreal, its a different game. But with the additon of a light or medium machine gun, you fill that gap between the BR and the LAAG. Most armies have a light machine gun is use today as a suppresive weapon, and so I think it would as some realism to the marines to have a gunner group laying down suppresive fire during a firefight with a platoon of Covies.
