the MA5 is a brilliant weapon
- it fires a 7.62x51fmj hence it would be effective past 500m
- its a bull-pup so it would be good in close quarters
the AR should be a jack of trades weapon good at everything perfect at nothing

in halo 3 game-play however the bullets disappear at about 150m and is barely accurate when fired in burst. it sounds like an automatic bb gun.

i would like to see some simple changes with this weapon that i believe would make game-play funner

1. make it loud, the halo 1 AR was just worthless in every aspect however the unmistakable rumble of the weapon made it worth using

2. make auto-fire accurate, yes the MA5 would have ungodly recoil however, this should not such an effect on a 2 ton spartan. I'm not saying it should be dead center accurate in auto-fire but a spartan should be able put round in the center of mass at 100 yards

3. make head shots lethal, i find it ridiculous that there are a select few weapons that have a head shot ability

4. give an aim or optical zoom ability, this is when the MA5 should be dead center accurate

How to spell "space"?

S-P-ACE! SPACE!

I think they should revive the MA5B, and make it more accurate.

They made it louder in ODST. Did anyone notice?

But agreed.

Because Muslims surgically implant organic bombs in their testicles, which in turn will be injected into women during sex, which will grow into BABY BOMBS!

Yeah I noticed that, now its a little more fun to use :D

Eh?

People sleep on the AR, but i love using it. It gives a break from the BR.

I agree also that the AR should be upgraded, because its pretty worthless on Halo 3 and ODST. The weapon IMO needs a better sound to it, because its not imtimidating with the current sound.
