It's called MAC blast(From Halo Wars).
Halo wars is not official. It may follow the "Halo Bible" but don't get too technical with how you say "MAC gun"(- Lord Hood) it's all the same thing.

Another idea is the option to call in MAC lasers (Can only be used outdoors and weaker than Halo Wars' one) or Cryo bombs (Same as MAC but still knocks out air units)the HUD would say whenever someone is calling them in and I think these would add a strategic element to the game.
E.g:
If someone calls in a MAC you could try and kill him before he finishes calling it or wait and avoid it
And no, it is not a Laser. "magnetic accelerator cannon" http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/MAC
It is a full, warship-sized, gauss cannon. It's just like the Orbital Space Elevator too. It's all a timed series of magnets. The faster you cycle them the faster the bullet is going to come out.
This thread seems a little off topic. As for animations. Realistic movement when performing actions, would be sweet. But keeping it limited to a certain number of frames for gameplay and networking purposes is essential. I don't remember which viDoc they talked about animation in(it was old). But they have to balance look with, practicality. The animators would love to make a realistic movement with plenty of frames, but from a gameplay standpoint it just makes things more complicated.
