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 have 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 rounds 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, the MA5 should be dead center accurate when fired controlled burst and with an optical zoom and lethal head shots this could replace the BR

i loved the Halo:CE AR. if they brought that back with a slight accuracy increase it would be perfect for me. I dislike the BR, it ruins the game when you can use a single gun reliably throughout an entire game.
