On the trailer to Halo 3, Master Chief was wielding a weapon, a weapon I thought was only on the first Halo. Am I the only one who noticed?!

He was holding what looked to me like an MA5B with a slightly extended barrel. If you read the books, you would know the weapon was standard issue with ODSTs and used by a lot of Marines. It wasn't just on the first Halo.

There are 3 books out:
Fall of Reach
The Flood
First Strike

Read them all. Fall of Reach really is the best one though (in my opinion)

Edit: the Halo Graphic Novel is coming out soon too.

yeah the books r really good, it explains all the background info u need to know about halo. fall of reach i think is also the best one because it explains the beggining of the spartans and their first missions. yeah that is what appears to be an MA5B assault rifle but if you like closer it has subtle changes in the barrel length and the overall build itself, probably an upgraded version of the MA5B

Every one is saying its the AR, but with that barrel im thinking nope, its some sort of hybrid of the BR and the AR. Possibly the ability to change the fire rat with the d-pad? burst and full on.

I think that it also has a shotgun attachment on it, if you freeze-frame it, you can see an opening below the barrel and the bottom looks like a pump

but there is no hole at the end of that part of the barrel. I thought it was a shotgun extension too but it looks like the flashlight.

I know but if you look between the light and barrel there is an opening that could be a shotty

PS I've posted a topic about this and it got immediately locked

There are these places called bookstores. You could probably get the books there. Also, the Bungie store has them.

Today's update implied that it is not the same weapon.
