I see the first with a minigun-esque weapon, second with a magnum, third with an assault rifle, fourth with a knife, last with our good old sniper.

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

Looking at the zoomed in version, it looks like it could be a super-Shotgun. A FlaK cannon (a handheld version of the giant shotgun-turret they used to shoot down planes in WWII) with a belt of slugs on the underside. Compare it to the FlaK gun in Lost Planet.

okay- well no one knows for sure like you said we can just be patient

minigun-definately
holstered pistol-yes
combat knife-yes
sniper rifle-yes
new rifle-maybe

also nothing to do with this but i think in the halo 3 trailer "starry night" john is the boy but the little girl might be linda since they were friends before the spartan project and there are hints/clues in the video leading to her being a spartan.
Linda had crimson hair, so it would more likely be Kelly, who was closer to John than Linda. John didnt know any of the Spartans before the training (to the best of our knowledge; it was never stated in any of the novels.)

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

No, the Br was given to the Spartans when they were underground with Dr Hasley. She gave them the BR during the fall of Reach, near the end.

It says in FoR that he didn't recognize anyone. Although, I guess being kidnapped, druged, flash cryo'd, and stun batoned will disorient you.

Again, that is just speculation; the novel doesn't say that it was a BR.

okay,
1. the middle figure, which we will call master chief for naming purposes, is holding an assault rifle.
2.Left figure is in fact holding a machine gun,why it's different from halo 3s. i don't know. doesn't matter to me honestly.
3. FRED (beast dude,Fred) is holding a combat knife, cause in First strike, he's twirling a combat knife between his fingers before harves.
hope this helps.

Its not tall enough to be the AR, it may be an MA5K (AR carbine) or an all-new weapon.


It's at an angle you fool..

umm, th BR was introduced long before that, as it was used during the battle of Harvest. just look at the cover for contact harvest. Get you facts straight bfore you post about them.

that was a prototype that acted more like an AR than a BR, though you are right, the Br was bound to be completed before the events of reach

Middle weapon looks like an AR to me.


I agree.


It could be, but the long barrel i think is a sign of a BR.

But do you see the stocky base below and a has a decent sized barrel.

It seems apparent that Bungie is using retro active continuity. ODST which takes place during Halo 2 uses Halo 3 weaponry. Reach will do the same I assume...I'm doubting a halo 1 pistol return.


Ensemble did the same in Halo Wars. It takes place long before Halo 1, yet it contains Spartan Lasers, Elephants, and Hornets (Even Hawks which dont even exist in Halo 3).

your an idiot, because all of those things where confirmed to exist far before the events of halo 3

The center spartan is holding a silenced MA5B Assault Rifle not a BR

-A fatal error occured. Your opinion is not valid. Please restart your computer and try again with a different answer-
Spammed group invites or recruitments are NOT WELCOME!Unless i know you, DO NOT SPAM ME without a bloody good reason.

"Violence isnt the answer, but it sure is the solution"

Does anyone else think that the centre weapon could be an assault rifle with a silencer? Hence the seeingly BR like barrel.
