Fcking awesome... *drool*

except....

Why 32 rounds? That's nearly half, and for god sakes the BR has around the same amount, and I think we all know how easy it is to burn those up. The AR is going to eat more bullets than I think the opponent will...

You folks at bungie might have play tested this as well as other testers and found that it was balanced enough, so I trust your decision, (not that it matters).

If anything, please...FIX THE SHOTGUN!!! :):):)

Length (o/a): 88 cm (34.6 in.)

Holy****!! How big is a normal Assault Rifle? I just got a 36 inch ruler and put it up to my shoulder, and that is f****** HUGE!!! I'm 6'1" and that seems extremely long. I realize MC is like 7feet (uhhh.. I think), but the other soldiers are probably as tall as me. Anyway, I think the MA5C is one of the sexiest things in the world (or virtual world, w/e). All I wanna know is, when are we gonna get a picture of the MA5C from all angles or at least an MA5C all by itself? I haven't seen one yet, but I want one.

34 inches is just under 3 feet. That puts the MA5C at the length of most modern carbines like the M4 or G36K. Its not actually very long if you consider the fact that it has a stock [hint: try tucking the 36 inch ruler under your arm. ;)].

The 32 round magazine (no good gun since the M1 Garand uses a clip) just means that you will have to be more tactical. Just fight smart like a spartan. (running down the hills of valhalla spraying and shouting some quote from braveheart is a nono) If you still feel the need to hold down the trigger, use the assault rifle in tandem with another weapon when you go on your assaults. Consider having a secondary weapon that you can use effectively when the magazine runs out.

I do agree with the marine though that there should be an underbarrel 40 mike mike in halo 3, but hey, I don't make the game.

From the second I saw the announcment trailer with the assault rifle I noticed the casing was different than the MA5B so I thought it was just a new design :P kudos on the new spawn weapon I hope to frag a lot with it

I agree. Why 32 bullets? I think it should at the VERY LEAST have 40 bullets. After all it IS a machine gun and it SHOULD have at least 40 bullets or more. Well thats how it goes videogame makers try and balance guns as much as they can.

Bottom line: The new AR is more powerful and has longer range but alot less rounds of the first AR (nearly half of the first AR's ammo which held 60 bullets) which makes it alot more of a rifle instead of being a machine gun which it should be.

I also agree they NEED TO FIX THE SHOTGUN. The shotgun just needs a little longer range and it needs to be more powerful. I also think headshots should do more damage for ever gun that includes the shotgun!! Now they just need the pistol before the auto update (auto update from halo2 for mutil) I think this game would be perfect with the guns. Bungie needs to make the sword run on energy in mutil and in single player!!!

The Assault Rifle is going to be awsome in Halo3. I really missed it in Halo2.... I would always **** up some flood with it while the shotie was down... the SMG sucks some pretty huge gonads. They have got to get this game out.
