I have always wanted to use an MA5K. I'm a sucker for carbines. Also, I say we don't necissarily remove the BR, but modify it. You know, make it semi-automatic. It was in the Halo 2 E3 2003 demo and everyone has been waiting for that version to make an appearance in-game for a long time, and this maybe the time that is comes.I'd be worried that if this happened, then the Pistol would be reverted down to some worthless weapon. In that case, I would rather just have it removed (but then you have a problem in campaign with no sidearm for allies).
I suggested Having the Ma5k for Halo 3. I really would love the gun to be in this game after playing CMT's multiplayer. You described its purpose perfectly.
On the note about having the Pistol replace the BR, I think they could fit both in without making the Pistol useless. The BR should and must be a semi-automatic gun firing one bullet at a time. The bullets would individually be weaker since it is firing them one by one.
The BR would have longer range than a pistol. Meaning it would be used as a semi-sniper rifle, or to counter snipers and keep them out of their scope. (The reason I think it would have this much range is because in Contact Harvest, Avery used it as a sniper rifle when he couldn't use a Sniper Rifle.) Now it would take a long time to kill people with since it is semi-automatic and the bullets do less damage. Maybe have half the clip kill, or have no headshot bonus to keep it balanced?
For the pistol, Bungie could just use the new AutoMag from ODST. Maybe modify it to fit the timeline. It would have a silencer and scope just like the ODST version. Now where it differs from the BR, is that it is surpressed and has no muzzle flash, making it harder to spot you when using it. It would grant headshots, but have a shorter range.
Keep in mind, the range would still be about a quarter of Blood Gulch, while the BR would have a range of half of Blood Gulch, but the BR is much weaker and takes longer to kill with. So basicly if you use the Br up close, or in Magnum range, you might as well call yourself a gonner as the Ma5k, Magnum, or AR will outdo you. This is actually a great idea. Id be fine with it going like this, or even combining your proposed BR with the MA5K, giving it the range of half of BG if you use single shot, quarter BG if you pulse, or MA5B-range if you use it in full auto. Would take about 10 headshots to kill a fully shielded opponent (with no insta-kill headshot), while the Pistol could have range at quarter BG, headshot-capable, with a silencer and all that. Either way, Id be happy.
