You must be joking OP
There's different variants of weapons you know. For example:
MA5B- Halo CE, 60 rounds. Used by Marines
MA5C- Halo 3, 32 rounds. Used by Marines
MA37- Halo Reach, 32 rounds. Used by Army
Their not all the same weapon, nor many other different variants in the Halo games. Haven't you ever looked at arsenal pages in the game manuals, or at least ever been to Halopedian.com?
THEY'RE not all the same weapon? Yeah, they aren't but they kind of are. I realize they are called something different and the MA5C is the new and "improved" version, but it all seems phony to me, because it seems like the same weapon tweaked for gameplay purposes (the way they wanted the game to be played), with a new label slapped on it. Not something the UNSC actually procured for practical purposes or combat effectiveness.
They wanted the AR to be more like a rifle in Halo 3, but in doing so (in their own way), made it not so fun (or effective) to use and everyone just threw it down for the BR, and if you'd played Halo 3 enough, you could easily kill some noob charging you with the AR with the BR in 4 headshots. No fun to use. It was nill, but in Reach, it was improved imo, and had a more defined role, but still didn't stack up to the original. Sigh.
And if the springs were getting weak from so many rounds ran through, why couldn't they just reduce it to like 40 or so, and reduce the ROF? 60 to 32 is just too dramatic imo.
