Who cares what the weapons look like, all I want to see is how they're going to redesign the flood :3

Riddle me this then, Batman. If the Assault Rifle should look exactly as it did in Halo: CE/3, why then do the (assumed) Marines aboard the Pillar of Autumn at the end of "The Package" have the Halo: Reach Assault Rifles and armor? That would indicate that those specific models and gear are what the crew of the Autumn is equipped with. Aesthetically-wise, at any rate.

Lazy developers, Robin.

For everything remains, AS IT NEVER WAS."

Or - bear with me here - Or, they're fully realizing an idea that came to completion, and was limited or in its infancy ten years ago.

We can't just keep calling the developers "lazy" for stuff that doesn't make sense to us the consumer.

Didn't you guys noticed the same army design like Marines inside the autumn in the ending of Reach?So why angry?

I would rather have Marines that look like the Reach ones then the Marines that look like those from Aliens.

Walk softly, and carry a big midget.

I think it's just a placeholder model, just like the Grunts and the Halo Reach Army Troopers. I know for a fact that Master Chief's armour was a placeholder.

Also, the Reach Assault Rifle (MA37) is just the UNSC Army's counterpart to the Marines MA5, just like the Army use the DMR while the Marines use the Battle Rifle.

That's what I pointed out, Revan.

An other error, then. In the near future we could very well start calling it "Retcon" instead of "Halo".

Well, aren't you just a barrel of fun, Alloy? I really hate Negative Nancys like you. Everything that comes out, it's never good enough.

All round halo fan games, books, everything else I can get halo
In other words im a huge nerd for halo just like someone who is into star was but halo :3

Uk super fan

OMG GUYS THE WEAPONS LOOK DIFFERENT *The game is compeltly ruinded* -_- its still early days you saw ONE trailer even master Chief was a early model they made quickly for the trailer /thead

  • 06.13.2011 5:25 AM PDT

I hope the MA5B looks something like this in the final product.

  • 06.13.2011 5:52 AM PDT

if yous just watch the new pre order bonus trailer then you will realize that they changed the assault rifle,pistol etc back to the way they were in halo ce instead of the halo reach version.

Not another one of you... Oh noes the assault rifle has been upgraded now the game sucks.

Come on! STOP [REDACTED] bellyaching.


Agreed. I am concerned about the canon issues with Halo 4, but I'm not freaking out about Anniversary. Yes, the MA5B looks like the MA37, and the Marines are now Army troopers, but I don't think it was out of being careless, I think they just wanted to give us Anniversary as soon as they could, so they used Reach game assets to do so.

That is being careless. If their top priority is giving us a new Halo as soon as they can, they better start thinking about what they're deoing.

no they are trying to get it out on the tenth anniversary.

Hey guys, do you realize that Army troopers and MA37 was just placeholder, right? I think being ignorant made you look like a idiot.

And watch pre order bonus grunt skull video, it shows updated model of MA5B. Although it's in still dev cycle so it will improve better. Be patient, please.

Expressing my strong liberal views without shame. Favorite quotes below:

"One starts to live when he can live outside himself."

- Albert Einstein

The campaign demo showed a placeholder weapon. A more recent trailer shows the original MA5B.

  • 07.26.2011 12:49 AM PDT

What a waste....

What seems sort of logical to me is:

The MA37 is the Army's MA5B. Both are still rough designs (which Bungie didn't really think through when they made the 1st game). Halo 3 rolls around and it's been polished and refined into the MA5C.

Who's awesome? ^ this guy.

Actuallly they fixed the assault rifle. Remember in the commentary they said that were just just playing an earlier version of the beta. Here's the later version where they fixed the assault rifle look.

I doubt anyone really cares. And it has 60 bullets anyway, it's staying true to the game it's meant to.

I care. That AR better be a placeholder.


Question: Why can we not assume, as is likely, that the AR graphics in CE were hampered by the (now-old) graphics technology's limits? In that case, the AR from Reach/CE, although slightly different from that of the Halo 3 version, would merely be what you see in Reach and CEA, knowing that the limitations of technology at the turn of the 21st century prevented you from seeing the real AR.

This is a video of the later version of Halo CEA that is coming so far. It shows the Assault Rifle now looks like the old one.
