The spartans used the standard issue MA5B long before the battle of Reach,so the theory that different equipment was used early on in obsolete.The MA2B is a probable assumption as on reach they would want to move quickly and thus perhaps carry a cut down version of the standar weapon.The MA5K assault carbine was used later on by the Spartan III program that was meant to carry an easy to aim,mass produced assault weapon.I have a theory:the guy in the center may be a sort of commando,like an ODST,special ONI agent,or a marine who likes contraband.His weapon could be custom tailored and incorporate many traits that make it great to use.I would like to see this.It would be a nice change from everyone carrying standard issue weapons.I would also like to see a combat knife incorporated as an always on you,close range slicing weapon as in Call of Duty 4.
