Subject: MA5K

ah i see you are on my page...good choice

Well i'll probably get banned for this but I feel that I need to make my opinion viewed so bungie if you could just give me a break this one time....

Anyway, as most of you know the forums have been a-buzz lately due The Unmentionable. Y'all know what im talking about and I just have 1 thing to say about it, ITS NOT A BR ITS A MA5K. it looks just like the one on the cover of Halo: Ghosts of Onyx.
Discuss.

Do you have proof that its not a BR? Sure looks like the BR, just abit different, has abit less ammo in the clip.

I don't technically have proof but i still think you should look at the Onyx book cover before you say I am wrong.

  • 11.06.2009 6:24 AM PDT

I just did, the one on onyx does not have a scope, the one in the pictures did.

Oh yeah! haha woops my bad. Then WTF DID THEY DO TO MY BR!???!

I like cheese more than you
Except Blue Stilton. That stuff is nasty. As is any cheese that contains stuff other than cheese

Those were comfirmed Leaks then?
I thought the MA5K/BR was a photoshop of a G3 from CoD4

It looks like they lowered the ammo by about 10 or so, couldnt tell for sure, if they did that means they probably changed the burst amount, if its in at all.

All we can do is wait :/

Not confirmed, but they look legit. thats generally how games look in alpha testing.

The thing is though, I don't think the hand was holding the BR like that in Halo 3
If it was a real leak, then it most likely was a MA5K.
Any Idea what that Splaser/Needler thing was?

  • 11.06.2009 6:35 AM PDT

Its not an exact replica of the BR in Halo 3, its a prototype cause in the time line, only prototypes were out then. So there would be some changes for sure.

And it looked like an early version of the Splaser, kinda liked how it looked.

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

Actually your right, i never thought about that. I thought it was an early version of the BR, but you could be right, but from the info on GoO, is the MA5K single shot? or semi automatic?

I think it was Adjustable, like the BR was in canon. It was normanly fired in Full auto I think
I'll just check

I think it was adjustable but I'm not quite sure.

Halopedia says Fully auto.
But the BR in the books were also fully auto.
12 shots in the mag? sounds like a single shot weapon to me.
The splaser looked nice, with that thing sticking out, but I'm on about that new Covenent weapon.

But in FS they describe a rifle that shoots 3 rounds per shot, so thats the BR, only in the Landfall videos ive seen the BR on full auto.

Anyways maybe its an early version of the BR, remember the Halo 2 E3 Demo? The BR was 1 shot there and i liked it more like that. Maybe its that BR...

Dude, yes. I was SOO Afraid to mention it because of the way Bungie's been treating the entire thing (and with good reason), but that's clearly the MA5K Carbine from Ghost of Onyx with a Scope.

I can see how that dude thought it was a Single Shot BR,

Though it could just be a Photoshopped g3... wouldn't that be a letdown...

It was full auto in Contact Harvest, i think
It was also single shot in the Last Halo 3 Cutscene.
Who knows? I'd rather have a new weapon though

Well i cant remember CH, i havent read it in along time, but anyways, that would be a really early version of the BR, probably the first.

And in the last Halo cutscene, its not 1 shot, its 3 shots, but it sounds like 1 shot.

Yeah, i would love to have the MA5K, and if it werent to much to ask, the MA5B from Halo CE

  • 11.06.2009 6:58 AM PDT

In CH they have the same BR we have in Halo 3. Same look and everything. The one in the picture looks kind of like a BR just the scope is different. Ammo is abit lower.

Im pretty sure its a version of the BR.

I think it could be a BRc. They aren't real in the halo universe but it could be like a shortened, less powerful Battle Rifle Carbine. (for those of you that don't know a carbine is a shortened, less powered version of a gun)

Well Joe Staten stated that the BR from CH is an early prototype only ONI operatives use. And the BR 55 HB(?) only appears in Halo 3

There is nothing wrong with Halo:Reach. We all just have our gripes about everything we don't like. Not liking something doesn't make it broken.

It's not a new weapon!

Look carefully, somebody just impaled a Needler on a Carbine barrel.


HELL YEAAAAHH!!! NEEDLER CARBINE!!!!

YO DAWG, I herd yoo like useful Covy weapons! So we put a needler on your carbine so you can needle while you carbine.
