I watched the trailer a couple of times, and saw that mc was in fact carrying an assault rifle (for anyone that cares, assault rifle in german is sturmgewehr) or at least a new type of gun, and correct me if I'm wrong but where did he get one from???
surely theyre not gonna have human arms factories aboard a covenant ship...
and I don't think masterchief is a legendary engineer, so that he can knock of the scope, change it to automatic fire and possibly change the ammo type while flying through space in a covenant ship.

I don't understand!

surely games should make sense to everybody... and that includes me this time...
will someone please explain, or post posibble theories here... please... ='(

No one knows exactly where it came from, but it's not the AR and it's not the BR, it's like a mix for all we know.

Wow this topic is stupid. Bungie said that it was 1/3 through the game. You would think being on earth you would run into humans atleast once.

Cmon man

i have a pretty good idea where the cheif got that new rifle. its not the AR from halo though. however, if u listen closely to sergeant guns after you are whisked away by Sargeant Johnson to the elevator (halo2 initial level) , he says:

"So Johnson, are you ever gonna tell me how you got home in one piece?"

"Sorry Gunns, you know that classified."

"Classify my ass...and you can forget those modifications to your A2."

possibly sarge got that sweet updated rifle which was possibly still in field testing.

Also, just because the AR wasnt in Halo 2, dosnt exactly mean that the UNSC said, "HEY, WE GOT NEW TOYS, LETS FLUSH THESE OLD ONES DOWN THE TOILET!!!"

Oldschool ARs were mostlikely stockpiled in secure locations, in the event on an extreme emergency, and some people may have been looking for ways to improve them for use against the covenant... or the flood.

Also, we don't even know if it was even taken out of service, We just saw a few places without MA5Bs... That doesnt mean no one has any...


The invasion of Earth counts as an Extreme Emergency right?

i agree with private enemy, and since the older AR is MC's favorite gun in the book...however, in First Strike, those (old AR's) have in fact been put out of commision and used by the group of pirates hidden in the asteroid fields. maybe a carbine of the MA5B, lightweight, accurate, less rounds...
