In the picture, it looks like the Spartan in the middle is holding an Assault Rifle. We don't know what kind it could be though. Which one would you rather have?

to me, it looks like a shotgun actually.

but I'd rather have a not overpowered AR that makes a cool sound.

The MA5C is much more balanced than the MA5B. MA5B is basically an SMG without recoil issues.

To me it just looks like an Assault Rifle if you look at it from under it. Actually right now I'm on Halopedia *lol* so currently I am looking at the Halo C.E AR and the Halo 3 AR and the barrel of the Halo 3 Assault Rifle somewhat looks like the barrel of the gun that the Spartan in the middle is holding (Halo C.E. AR has a shorter barrel than Halo 3 AR). That's just how I picture it.

My safe-word is apples

I don't mind either AR, but what I'd like to see would be the ability to use the flashlight under the barrel. Can't remember if they had that in CE or not, its been so long lol.

I can see why you think it's an AR. it sure looks like one.

but I think the barrel looks like the pump of a shotgun... I'm probably wrong though.

Just enjoy the damn game!
Who cares about BR vs AR

I still think the best idea from the forum would be to include an era weapon set. So as they had Human/Covenant weapon set in Halo 2, they could have a Halo: CE, Halo 2, Halo 3, and ODST. Then you could satisfy both sides.

On topic, I'm happy with the one we have at the moment, but don't mind if we have the CE one.

MA5C, because is much more balanced than MA5B.
I won't mind if they will put MA5B in Halo: Reach.

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

The MA5B actually took a level of skill to control. Otherwise when you picked it up you DIED. And that is the way it should be. If your good, you win, if you suck, you die. The MA5C ICWS does NOT mirror this, and is a POORLY BALANCED WEAPON.

The AR 's grip does look like it. It is an AR by the way, I have seen a zoomed in pic, and the shape is very distinctly an AR.

Signatures are for squares.

MA5B, for sure. It was balanced. It had a good clip size, high rate of fire, armor piercing rounds, and it actually sounded like an Assault Rifle.

MA5C is made for people who like to mindlessly rush.

A real test of a man is if he is willing to scrape a sharpened razor up and down his junk just to please a woman.

The one that Bungie didn't s#$% all over, MA5B.
