this is getting to the point of videogame Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, OP. When I'm playing the remake, I will know that the guys I'm fighting with are Marines and the AR is the MA5B because the game is exactly the same only prettier. I KNOW THE NEW AR LOOKS LIKE THE REACH AR MORE THAN THE MA5B--BUT THAT DOES NOT MATTER BECAUSE A NEW GRAPHICS ENGINE MAKES ALL DESIGN ARGUMENTS ALMOST MOOT. There is no canon being broken: the game won't pretend that it is a new gun or that the guys you fight with aren't Marines. They are Marines and it is the same AR. It is a reimagining in terms of graphics and design, not canon. Jesus, you flip out over a graphical tweek, but somehow not over the changes in armor of Marines in each Halo game? Or the new details to ships and vehicles? Graphical changes don't break canon. The Marines are still Marines despite them looking like reach troopers. BTW, perhaps the reach troopers were a mix of army and marine? perhaps the early ma5b had a prototype that looked closer to the reach AR? It's a game. you buy it. It's YOUR Game. you can invent any excuse to make you happy, but honestly the graphics can only get better from here. The fact that this freaks you out so bad is seriously not normal dude. THE CANON DOESN'T CHANGE, IT'S JUST A REIMAGINING of the design! The only thing that can really change canon is if the dialogue changes, and suddenly these are soldiers and not Marines, but if the dialogue and Marine references remain, then i guess you're just going to have to accept that this is how the Marines looked in CE, and this is how the AR looked. This is the least of the problems. Who knows, maybe they're just placeholder images anyway!
