1)Several sharp protrusions are easily visible from silhouette. Are these oversized point-defense guns?

2)There is a single huge protrusion near where the bridge was on the Pillar of Autumn. Is this a secondary MAC gun, or perhaps a protruding bridge?

I'm fairly certain the P.O.A has 2 MAC's
it has several 40(?)mm auto-cannons
it also has an array of archer missile pods

Somewhere it lists the exact numbers, but i don't remember them.

those 'sharp' objects are not weapons, would guess they serve some other purpose, the one on the front of the Autumn I think is an antennae array for communication. some of the ones on the Marathon might serve the same purpose, the Pillar of Autumn has a single MAC, mounted down the spine of the ship which fires three rounds each charge, also has 300 oversized Archer missile pods and lots of point defences.

Marathons will be heavier armed than this since they are meant to be superior to Halcyon class in every single way, would guess more than one MAC and more than 300 oversized missile pods.

POA certainly does not have 2 MAC. It has only one, but that one fires 3 shots per charge.

Am I supposed to write something funny here?

PoA is halcyon-class cruiser, not marathon.

It has one (modified to fire three shots rapidly) MAC. Not sure if this is accurate, but it's about there as seen in Halo: Reach.

Marathons have two MACs, and I think they are in the same place as halcyons MAC, not sure though.

EDIT: Got beaten to it. #@&¤!
