Its Halo itself!! The whole series is about a weapon!!

Stop PMing me if you are group recruiting.

Assault Rifle hands down. On Master Chief's first mission, he picked a MA2B (I believe, it was MA2_ something), a variant of the MA5B assault rifle.

If we are talking about the video game.. it is the assault rifle but in the book series it could definitely be the battle rifle. In the cut scenes Bungie gave the impression of the Assault Rifle being the weapon in the halo saga because in every cut scene they would have the chief holding the Assault Rifle as a default even if you were carrying a rocket launcher or any other weapon. So for the gamer.. it could definitely most be the Assault Rifle.

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

Definitly the Assualt Rife.

OH MY GOD!!! your right! its the only weapon that is unchanged in every game!

You are kidding right? The Battle Rifle is very rarely used, I only remember seeing it in Contact Harvest. The Assault Rifle, specifically the MA2B, is the signature weapon as Halo. When someone sees the Chief holding an assault rifle, they know instantly what it is.

Thank you, even though it has been used in more than just Contact Harvest (in some of First Strike as well) it is no where near the staple weapon. I have no idea what that other dude was talking about.

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

The Warthog. It's in every game and book, and is beloved by all.

Hey

I think their signature weapon is the Energy sword. Most people know of that weapon when people are talking about Halo 3.

its definately the Battle rifle it is used more in the games and the books than all the others and its the only weapon that i believe the world would have 500 years down the road.


You haven't read the books then.

Halo's signature weapon is easily the MA5B, which should return in Reach. It was used in every book, and is very useful in Halo CE


the battle rifle is used in all the books except the 1st 2 b/c it wasnt made yet. it was used as a prototype in contact harvest given by the oni stationed their for the marines defense. + MC doesnt use the MA5B that often he perfers the shotgun for the flood and the battle rifle


Master Chiefs prefered weapon, is infact the Assault rifle.

and thats all we need to know.
Even if the BR dominates it...

Assault Rifle. It is in Chief's every cutscene, except the one where he kills the Scarab in Halo 2.

-Life is suffering, now go and enjoy.

MA5B Assault Rifle, for people who don't know it is the Assault Rifle from the "Halo: CE" game and most of the Halo books, which should make a return into "Halo: Reach".

Your in Bad Company.

I'd say Halo is the signature weapon >.>'

*coughs*
The Assault rifle, I love feeling the pulse of that weapon firing. Plus its been in all the books and all but one of the games, plus when you see marines running around, what weapon do you see the most? The assault rifle.

and what happens with most of the marines with the assault rifle in HAlo 2, 3, and odst

H2- elite fills them full of plasma or slices them up with an enrgy sword.

H3- owned by brutes, snipers and everything else

odst- u get the picture

What does how they die affect anything? That wasn't part of my statement, I was saying compare how often they have the MA5B compared to other weapons. Nowhere did I say that they were mini master Chief's when it came to fighting. =/

They also die with the SMG, BR, even a Sniper (Gave one to a marine once, Zealot just ripped him apart)
