There is something distinctively black hanging under MC's assault rifle in the movie that also has it's own barrel. I think this is a grenade launcher. Which would rock! Do you agree?

Well it sure looks flashy. I gues a flash it the last thing you will see when fired up your covenant -blam!-. Can't wait to start using it!

Apparently I have got my answer allready. http://halo-fest.tripod.com/images/Assault%20Rifle.jpeg it's indeed a simple AR rifle. to bad.

It's the old flash light. I wouldn't want it any other way.

You know I have a feeling bungie put the AR in because they did not want to reveal any new content.
It may not be in the real thing

Then why not use the BR instead? That's not new content either. What Bungie is probably saying is that some Halo 1 weapons will be making a return and Halo 3 will have a nice combo of weapons from both games.

Hush now don't give Bungie any crazy ideas. I love my Assault Rifle. It's actually quite funny I never used a Covenant weapon once in Halo CE till after I beat the game on Normal, Heroic and Legendary. Well I'd get rid of a Covenant weapon and use human instead. It's kind of funny actually.

Considering the trailer was from a part in the game (so i've heard) then I doubt it wont be in.
Considering how high-tech the mjolnir armor is, with thermal, advanced targetting, and built in sensors of other sorts, it would be useless to have a flashlight on it, and marine helmets could easily have a flashlight as well.

I do hope that they upgrade the MA5B a bit though from halo 1.
Make it so that 5 seconds of fire kills, not 10 seconds of armor piercing bullets.

I still think the smg should stay in though, but be made as a machine gun sidearm, like the pistol as a sidegun to a sniper for example. I also think that Spartans and elites should be able to hold more equipment then just guns, cameras, mines (anti tank from book) should all be included as well.
