Just so you guys know, cut down doesn't mean that it's smaller... it's less technical (less bells and whistles). I will agree that the gun from the trailer definitely seems smaller than the assault rifle from Halo 1, although that may be a matter of graphics.
Here is a quote from the library: "The MA5B Rifle is the latest model of the MA series. The MA3, and MA2Bs were the standard rifles in 2525, but the newest model, the MA5B, is the current standard Marine rifle, and is one of the most versitile weapons in the Marine's arsenal."
The MA2B is NOT an upgrade. It is an older gun, by several decades. That doesn't mean that it's not a good gun, but it shouldn't be said to be better.
