Subject: MA5B or MA5C

Wherever you roam
so far from home
you'll be safe from peril
life threatening and terrible
if you avoid David Powel
and keep track of your towel.

People please, none of this "there were no MA5C's or MA5K's" bull. The Battle of Reach and Halo 3 are less than a year apart.

Personally I think they should use the MA5A, or MA5D, or whatever already defined rifle fits their balance needs.

The MA5B. It sounded better, had a bigger clip, and i loved taking down elites with it. With an MA5C, i'm guessin it wud just be too easy (few shots and melee).

MA2B FTW!

MA5B for sure was always my weapon of choice in CE. Please in Reach oust the Battle Rifle (at least till the end when Hasley gives them it) and bring me back my MA5B! Please :)

I'm 23, I have a house, dog, girlfriend, job and I have no interest in any fanboyism so if you're thinking about sending me a childish PM, don't be surprised when I don't call back.

MA5B just felt a bit more.....meaty. The MA5C is a whisper quite tickling device i hate it.

Everytime when people say MA5B, they believe that Bungie is the worst game developing company in history.
Oh privet caboose, don't even try to change people's opinions.

Signatures are for squares.

How about if.... this game would actually take more skill (like Halo 2 did) and delete the AR, and instead have an SMG


Did you even play Halo CE? The Assault Rifle took ALOT of skill to use effectively.

ofc i did, and i never actually played MP, and i mainly used pistolzzzz


Play Halo PC, or use Xbox connect, or, just get some friends to play it with you for a night. The MA5B was a great weapon to use if you knew how to use it. But in the hands of an unskilled player it was garbage.

See you on the battlefield.

MA5B all the way. When I couldn't get a pistol, it was my go-to gun.

Quit trying to sound all smart and nerdy at the same time. Use your words and both work cause they kill people, who cares about the efficiency and range of them.

i'm pretty sure ma5K's were being used before reach but maybe i'm wrong

MA5C. very balanced


Tell me you're being sarcastic.

MA5B is the better choice.
ditto

  • 09.08.2009 6:13 PM PDT

I think that the weapons should be like this.

  • 09.08.2009 6:23 PM PDT

The br is a good gun so good it go's into a class of it's own it.However i am talking about an assualt rifle not a battle rifle. BR>AR

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.

So glitches like Superbouncing on top of a map and camping, and killing a guy in one massive burst from the BR took by pressing the X button to cancel animations took skill? Sounds like cheating to me.

What a waste....

MA5B! Or better yet, MA5A.

I am going to put it out there. Just cause. But the Pillar of Autumn FLED REACH with NOTHING BUT MA5Bs. So I would assume that Reach will have MA5Bs, instead of those other variants.

  • 09.08.2009 8:25 PM PDT

I hope so.

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.”

MA5C should be chosen.

That leaves room for the SMG.
