I was looking at one if the screen shots for Halo 3 when I saw the Master Cheif holding a familiar gun. I remembered it was the MA5B machine gun from H1. Is it really?

No Pezza... leave him... he just didnt know... its not his fault... - The voice inside my head keeping me from going on a shooting spree.

yes that is infact the Assault rifle from Halo 1! However it may be diffirent from the original as Frankie has TWICE stated it is not standard issue. I will leave this place now, this will be locked shortly...

You can't tell the difference between the gun in this pic and the gun in the pics on this screen?

it could be an MA3B. But, it has different features than MA5B. I bet it isn't just customized because you need to pick it up from marines.

Quick as a razor, sharp as a bullet.

bungie have said that it is not the same weapon (i think)

With the discovery of the Brute's untreatable allergy to bananas, the UNSC fabricated the all new Banana Launcher! And that is what you're seeing in the trailer.

Yup Stop posting about it. it could be MA5C? D? but it's not the original one. different color, different sizing.. possibly bringing the 3 round burst as described in "The fall or Reach"
