Subject: MA5K

Well judging from the screenshots, the rifle pictured is definitely 12 rounds... because he has 10 in the clip, and it looks like there's only room for 2 more bullets in the ammo counter at the top right, underneath the weapon graphic. A 12 round full auto weapon would be pretty lame.
Also, the dude said it was single shot with 12 rounds.

In addition, the MA5K on the cover on ghosts of onyx a) has no scope, and b) is very cut-down.

The weapon graphic in the upper right hand corner of the screenshot obviously has an extended barrel, like a battle rifle.

If a defining characteristic of the MA5K is a "cut-down", compact weapon (which I believe it is), this is certainly not one.

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.

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.
same here man!


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.


9 or 10 shots hit, and BOOM :D


They even added a new bit to the Splazer.

YO DAWG! I herd yoo hate missin the football game, so we put a HD screen on your laser to you can watch the pass while you kick some ass!

I always understand that, in the Halo universe at large, the BR had an adjustable rate-of-fire with single shot, 3-round burst, and full-auto mode; just like real-life military-issue assault rifles. In the Halo games, you only use 3-round burst due to balancing issues.

I'm thinking the "BR" from the Reach pics is a whole new weapon: single-shot, mid-range scoped, and packing a lot of punch per shot.

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.


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


I actually am still working on the books so i dont know all the details, all i know is that the one on the cover of CH has 36 bullets in it and looks similar. And that the one from the picture looks like more of a rifle then a carbine to me.

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

Just looked at the new Screenshots again, and that new Needler/Splaser weapon is not Carbine based. Looks like a early model for it though.

THAT'S CUS ITS A NEEDLBINE!!! It fires carbine and needles!!!

Flood and Reach forums are the best, but the Flood has been down lately.

Exactly! Every time you pick it up, you have to come ready with two paddles and a canoe because-

YOUR GONNA BE SWIMMIN IN WIMMINZ.

You'll have to beat them off of you with a melee!

Actually, The weapon will be useless, because you will have to use all the ammo to fight the fangirls off you after you pick it up!!!!

While we're talking about the needlebine screen, does anyone have any clue wtf kind of turret is on that warthog?

It looks like a subwoofer or something.

  • 11.06.2009 7:40 AM PDT

New use for the weapon, when a Hunter comes walking by on Legendary difficulty, chuck the Needlebine at him and run while you can before the wimminz sees you near the weapon

Wait, you actually checked this?

Will you be my friend?

I say we dub this weapon (Until further notice) the "BR5K" since we can't apparently decide which one it is.

Actually, it is common knowledge:

The only enemy awesome enough to withstand the Needlebine's wimmin magnet powers is the brute pimp. When he sees you, he tosses it at you, forcing you to grab it, in which thousands of wimminz stampede and immobilizing you so he can run up and beat the sparkle out your eyes.


It's an oldschool covenant tactic.
