My dream MA6B, if thats what it is.
MA6B- 3 firing modes: Semi-auto, Full auto, 3 round burst; integrated scope w/ 2x magnification, laser dot.
...and while we are at it, we should make it fire sniper bullets that kill in one hit! And also give it an overshield generator, so whenever you pick up the gun it makes you almost invicible!
The MA5B was a horrible weapons in Halo 1, and I doubt Bungie will change it to make it any better in Halo 3. I just hope they don't smush the BR and AR into one weapon; they are used for 2 entirely different purposes. A scope on an auto weapons would be the worst thing bungie could do for balance.
The problem I see arising is that Halo 3 will have too many weapons that do the same thing, or not enough weapons if they bring back the MA5B. SMGs will no longer have a purpose, so dual weilding isn't as useful. If they combine the AR and BR it will make an all purpose weapon like Halo 1 (pistol was god, and unbalanced), which reduces weapon strategy (should I pick up the long range or short range weapons, oh wait it does both).
The only solution I can see is that they bring back the MA5B (with added damage and lower accuracy, single wield only) and keep the SMGs like normal. But there really is no purpose for two weapons that do the same thing. They shouldn't even think about touching the BR, unless they are going to tweak its balance, not its function as a medium to long range accurate rifle.
