i think its real, and i like it. everything looks amazing. and the spartans look sick. just like i imagined. i beleive them to be true as well. they soooo are. you know it. plus... have you seen that BR? its not even a BR anymore!?
dude, if you had read the books, you'd know its a MA5K, not a br.

It doesn't resemble a MA5K, in that it doesn't have the large forward sight rail/carrying handle similar to a FAMAS, and that it has a scope, although one could argue that the scope is an attachment and not a standard feature.

Also, all indications point to it [the rifle in the screens] being a new weapon; a single shot rifle with a 12-round mag, rather than the MA5K, which was a full-blown assault rifle [full-auto, etc.], albeit smaller and trimmed down.

Which means [if it's true], it's a BR with a third of the ammo capacity, [expectantly] does three times the damage, and looks slightly different. Which would make it the Halo CE pistol in rifle form. Way to come up with new ideas, guys.

Why the hell are you all complaining that this guy leaked these photos? yes, how he did this was wrong.

I just want to point out one thing. you all did not have to look at the photos, but you did. why? because you WANTED to see them (ya no one forced you) Most of you are the people that go to the weekly update and are disappointed by the lack of screens. So why do you want to condemn this guy like a murderer, he's totally -blam!-. So let this man be praised as a hero, let M$ and Bungie condemn him as a murderer they can do much more than we.

The sad part is I didn't many complaint in the MLG forum when I saw them. It was mostly support, which makes me question my allegiance to the Bungie community and my hatred of MLG.
Although I'm not a member of MLG. I've been here long enough to know, that we, at B.net, are probably jealious that MLG got it first. You see, if we got it first, MLG would react like we are.

So what do guys think about what happened today? You know what I'm talking about. I don't think bungie's handling it smoothly at all. They've lost their usual cool this time in my opinion. Covering up and all. If I were them I'd just roll with it and release high res screens like they had planned it anyway and don't even care about security issues.

Roll with the punches bungie!

You don't know Bungie very well, do you?

We wouldn't have gotten it first, because Ninja's would have lock the topic too quickly. versus MLG who was super slow at reacting to this. besides that no one is reacting negatively because MLG got it first.

everyone is reacting negatively because they are seeing it through the eyes of bungie, they should look at it from their own perspective.

Did I want to see the screens? yes. Did I like them? yes. should I act like this guy is a murderer because bungie and M$ are already going to sue him up the ying yang? no.

Regardless of whether the pics are real or fake (they're probably real), Bungie has shown us time and time again that the company is capable of releasing content on their own terms. Bungie taking a zero tolerance policy to leaks is a respectable decision, and not out of order whatsoever. There could be any number of reasons as to why Bungie would react as they did to the leak, maybe it's not finished, maybe it is stuff that may not make it into the final iteration of the game, etc. Whatever the case, the only reason Bungie needs to react the way they are is: shouldn't THEY be the judge of what they want to tell people? They are the ones creating it after all.

How to spell "space"?

S-P-ACE! SPACE!

Honestly, it's fake.

It's about as real as THIS

O RLY? Enough of this leak business. It's fake, the guy capitalized on our appetite so he could get publicity.
