Spartan Short Sword
Seen in the campaign difficulty symbols for all Halo games (excluding ODST).

MA5K Carbine
A cut-down variant of the MA5B Assault Rifle. It is shorter in length for more manueverability, and is stripped of the electronics cowling and replaced with a carry handle.

M99 Stanchion Gauss Rifle
An extremely powerful scoped rifle that fires a .22 caliber projectile at speeds up to 17,000 meters per second. Can penetrate multiple surfaces and still retain it's power.

M247 GPMG
The turret used in Halo 2. A .30 caliber general purpose machine with moderate accuracy and high power. This could be used as an LMG for first-person use in Halo: Reach.

I would like a plasma thrower thrower called the plasma arc to replace the human flame thrower. It fires a cloud of electrical plasma a little farther than the flame thrower and has a stun effect. It also continues to do damage for a little bit even after you're out of its path because of electric shock. The reason I want this to replace the flame thrower is because it doesn't seem right. How could a flame thrower do damage to futuristic armor and energy shielding.?

i personally would like to see every weapon in the halo universe reach; but with canon took in consideration in campaign and what is appropriate and balanced for MM

But if i had to chose
MA2B with .390 cal shredder rounds
it would replace the both the AR and BR

MA5K Carbine all the way. That thing looks sweet beyond limits.

MA5K.

If it's anything like it is in Halo: CE, it will be my new favorite gun.

I would peffer a bubble gun such as if you touch the bubble that came out of that gun you would blow up. Sounds childish but deadly.

There is no MA5K in CE. That's the MA5B.

I love how modders created the MA5K in Halo: Custom Edition for the PC. I think it should replace the Battle Rifle.

The LMG from Halo 2 sounds pretty sweet, too. I always loved that thing.

if any thing it would replace the AR
the MA5K is a carbine version of the MA5 sires; this just means it has a shorter barrel and be lighter.

and the only advantage of of the MA5K would have is because the shorter barrel it would be less cumbersome in CQC

and as far as it being lighter but it doesn't matter to a 1000 pound super soldier how can whiled a 20 pound sniper and hit the head of a target while running

Canonically, yes, but if it worked like the Custom Edition one then it'd be a fine BR substitute. Yes, I know that the CE version probably isn't canon, but I'm just throwing that out there.

I'm not saying this for canon reasons; but for functionality reasons; a Carbine is just a short Assault rifle

well the BR should act like a BR because right now its the games assault rifle

and as far as the MA5 sires which ironically are all technically BRs, but i think they should act like ARs
