Trivia
- The M45 TS is more powerful than the M90 Close Assault Weapon System in Halo 3 since Bungie has stated in a Game Informer interview that the rounds will now be packed closer when fired and the range has been improved as well, although this will make it harder to hit more than one enemy at close range. The ammo capacity from the Halo 3 version has been kept.
- When the weapon's slide is locked to the rear, the loading port opens with it. Also, the shell is ejected from the same location it is inserted, the top.
