I miss the MA5B from combat evolved. It was the best. The MA5C from halo 3 doesn't satisfy me. Especialy the fact that it sounds like a 2 stroke lawnmower with a rock stuck in it. I hope to see the original assault rifle return to reach with the 60 bullet magazine and all. plox bungie?

I'd much rather have an MA5C with improved range and accuracy. I'd like it to get the ODST treatment(no silencer) and give it a scope so it can be a true starting weapon.

Besides the SMG has the exact same rate of fire, clip size, and Cross hair as the MA5B and does slightly less damage.

yea but the SMG was a sad excuse to take out the assault rifle in the first place. But yea i think it would be cool to have a x2 zoom feature for the assault rifle, even tho if you think about it, all weapons should have as much zoom as you want because of the smart link to your hud.

Wherever you roam

you'll be safe from peril
life threatening and terrible
if you avoid David Powel
and keep track of your towel.

No, Bungie realized that in Halo 1 their assault rifle was more like an SMG and that their pistol was more like a battle rifle.

So they just gave their guns the appropriate skins.

The smg isn't an equal match to the MA5B nor is the br to the magnum. they are completly different guns, which is why i called it a sad excuse to get rid of it.

So why not make an MA5 that sounds like the Halo CE AR and have be as accurate as the Halo 3 AR

Think about it:

MA5B - M7 SMG
both have short to medium range, a wide bullet spread, 60 round mag, and medium-low damage per shot

M6D - BR-55
both have medium to long range, good accuracy, 12 shots per mag, and medium-high damage per shot
