Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed that the AR seen in the trailer for halo 3 is totally different? Well not totally, but it has a shotgun like grip on the bottom, and barrel stiking out of the end. It is also longer looking. Maybe this is a special upgraded version, mabe it shoots flak stuf? Look at the latest halo 3 screenshots, and look at the AR. Maybe other weapons will be changed also..maybe a guided rocket launcher...timed grenades...who knows?

I thought it looked a little smaller and compact. Like the version they talk about in the books, a cut down version, a MA2B instead of an MA5B

I believe the Spartans had modded weapons... if he's on Earth (and I heard somewhere or another, the trailor doesn't occur at the beginning of the game... not sure if that's true, but still), then he might have had access to old Spartan weapons (not sure how they would get on Earth though).

Just an ADD thought when I should be writing a huge-ass essay on Ernest Che Guevara de la Serna.

No your wrong, because according to use, there are only 3 weapons, the MA5B, MA2B, shotgun, anything else is nothing more than myth. my word is law!!

Yeah Bungie already answered a question like this. Kinda...

" Meeper asks,


Why is the Assault Rifle in there?


Who says it's the standard Assault Rifle? Doesn't look identical to me…"

Take it for what its worth, but you guys are on to something here.

Woah, where you get that from? Any way remember the Halo 2 announcement trailer. That really didnt even appear in the game. It was just to get us excited. You could argue its the one from the end of the first level but you'd be wrong. You should give us proof if you have it man?

It does look completly different thanks to the master re-skiners at bungie. they did an excelente job making the ar with bitmaping and 5 whole extra pixels that make it look slighty more realistic. also they added some more rivets to make it look more bulky. i think that the gun is actualy the key to the super mega laser canon that is shown on the trailer and after activated the super cov. will track down every last human but not untill mc puts in a good fight and then killed imidatly after the first 5 mins of the game by a three shoter to the head.
