The rifle that the master cheif was carrying in the video trailor was not the MA5B from Halo: Combat Evolved. If you examine it, the distance from the handgrip to the barrel is much longer along with the distance from the bolt to the stock. So basically it's a lengthened MA5B. Any ideas on how it'll work?

Smile, would ya, while we've still got something to smile about.

Frankie said it wasn't the MA5B in the update.

2 things,

1. find a thread that talks about this, there are many

2. i think the "new" rifle will just be a more accurate version of the MA5B

You pull the triger and it could fire. Thats what i would think.

maybe it's the MA5C?

if it kills covenant within a reasonable space of time, it'll work

i just hope that it doesnt completly replace the BR cause if it does that effectivly ruins the MP experience without an effective mid-range weapon

Maybe its that weapon in the the books that is a different kind of Assault Rifle.

okay, its slightly different. frankie didnt say that it was a different one. he just said ''who says its the same'' meaning theres a possibility it is the same.

im growing tired of seeing these ''new gun'' or ''changed gloves'' fourms. anyone else?
