ok ok i was thinking bungie would not dare throw away any of the
guns from halo they would just make them better. now heres my
idea and its very plausable.
We now have this battle rifle as our standered weapon and the covies
have their carbine. well rember in halo ce the elites primary was the
plasma rifle and the humans was the MA5B well now the covies primary
in H2 is the carbine. but what do you know the plasma rifle is returning,
sooo what ya know that means it would make sence for the MA5B to
return but not be the primary anymore but more as something you could
pick up. now i bet it will have some sweet upgrades maybe a new cross
hair as Hikaru119 had said " it should be changed from the circle cross
hair to more of an X, and posably make the reticle smaller for more
accurate shots" i think its rounds should also pack more of a punch.
now this isnt hardcore evidence that it will return, but why wouldnt
it, if the plasma rifle is?

Its not its simple as that it was weak in halo MP and the SMG carries double the amount of bullets 4 times as much if you are dual wielding so any body in their right mind will use that. Why make to machine gun type weapons when you could surprise us and make a whole new human weapon that no one has seen coming.

Yeah, if you use a charged plasma pistol shot, and follow up with a round from the MA5B you can kill someone real fast.

its gone.. just face it, its just transformed into something else. and if it is still in the halo-universe i very much doubt you'll see it in halo2 let alone use it.

besides the gun sucked balls in the first game anyways.

it had its moments, it was better than a shade turret for one, and better than the machine gun on the scorpion. but it didnt have a lot of umph, and against flood it just didnt hold up.

Which is the porblem around here. No one bases anything off of Campaign. Well enarly no one. I can think of myself and four others and that is it.

People base oo damn much off of multiplayer and not enough off of the main game. *sigh*

Also I said this.

However make a few minor changes to the MA5B. First turn its crosshairs so they form an " X " and not a " + ". After that is done, shrink the crosshairs down a little bit. Then for good measure so that people won't always complain add an extra 10% of damage to each bullet. That way it is still fast, a bit more accurate, and has some more Armor Piercing punch to it. Maybe even add a mode where you an attach a silencer/ flash suppresor on it like in the books.

That way the MA5B is a nice balance between the Battle Rifle and the Sub Machine Gun, thus balancing the game out even more.

Actually the Machine Gun on the Scorpion packed the exact same punch as the MA5B, it was just more innaccurate.

I think you have guns all confused.

The MA5B is the assault rifle, you can't kill anyone with just one shot after a charged plasma pistol bolt. That is the M6D .50cal HE HP pistol that you are thinking of.

i'd love it if an improved AR was included (MA5C???), it would be a nice surprise..

as long as its improved.

i only use AR when i want to have more of a challenge. Keyes only using an AR and grenades is incredible...
