I can't check right now but I think it's an ma5k, is it the same as the one on the GoO cover?

It is only a teaser trailer, it doesn't necessarily mean it is in the game or whatever. The game still has like two years, there will be many improvements.

Don't worry, you're still your mom's favorite Bnet member.

Here is the book cover.

It may be an Assault Rifle variant/

BLAM!

I assume it is another interpretation of the MA5K (the Carbine variant found on the cover of GoO).

Please check out the forum rules before doing anything you might assume to be crude.

Perhaps a FAMAS-type weapon.

Slightly larger version of the updated First Strike cover

There are a few different possibilities as to the identity of this weapon. Likely, it is simply an artists rendition of the standard assault rifle. The barrel seems a bit longer than the MA5B (similar to the MA37 of Halo: Reach), and the butt of the stock seems to be cut down slightly from the MA5B.

My interpretation of this, therefore, is that this could very well be a representation of a successor to the MA37, and predecessor to the MA5B. This weapon could be the MA2B (a stripped-down version of the MA5B) or an MA3 which was referenced as being used by rebels in the Eridanus system in First Strike.

Um.....Red name tag??

Looks like an AR to me.

  • 06.23.2011 9:11 AM PDT

i checked some different rifles on halo wiki and it looks like a stripped down version with artist error

  • 06.23.2011 9:17 AM PDT

that looks like the MR-C LW from Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter II, that was a sweet gun and wouldn't be out of place in Halo. to be honest its more advanced than most of the guns used by humans in the Halo universe, pointing it round corners has huge advantages!

Whaaat?

  • 06.23.2011 10:41 AM PDT

EDIT
It looks like a plasma repeater
The gun on the front cover of Contact Harvist I think is a magnetically exelerated sniper rifle

AR.

Maybe not the MA-5B we've known from H1, but one of the different types mentioned in the books.

  • 06.23.2011 11:18 AM PDT

I am a monument to all your sins

probably an MA5K

You were totally and absolutely correct in every way, I don't know why we were arguing, you're so amazing I should never have doubted you.

Original cover was waaay better.

"The measure of a man is what he does with power"-Plato

In First Strike Fred finds a variant of an AR.

So that's probably it.
