Couldn't this be little more than a typo on Jessica's part? Seems unlikely that they'd add thirty numbers to the designation just because the appearance changed. The fact that every render features "BR55HB SR" should be confirmation enough that this is an upgraded model of the ''Halo 3'' HBSR. {{User:Grizzlei/Sig}} | Couldn't this be little more than a typo on Jessica's part?

:This is WAY to different visually to be a retcon like that, that'd be quite silly. It's definitly not a member of the 55 family, let alone the same as a 55 variant.

::Grizzlei has a point though, which is more likely? Shea making a typo, or the game designers making a model of a new weapon and labelled it incorrectly?

::::I am more inclined to believe that the ''55'' tag is a typo. It is spoken of as an entirely new weapon, and it is far easier to mistype a 55 than an ''85''. The 55 tag is more familiar, at any rate, and may have been placed as a placeholder (as has happened before) by someone unaware of the weapon's designation. Really, all we should do is wait. - [[User talk:DefeatingLine|DefeatingLine]] 18:06, 16 March 2012 (EDT) | ::::I am more inclined to believe that the ''55'' tag is a typo.

:::::Also, most of the M6 pistols have the wrong submodel letter printed on them, the M7 SMG says "5mmx23" instead of "5x23mm", and the M392 DMR has an info plate that is for the MA37. In Halo games, a weapon's textures are the last thing I trust.

::::::Well, the imprints on the weapons are of the unknown; it could have a hidden detail (rocket launcher being the M41 instead of M19 as revealed in recent literature after almost a decade of being considered as a texture error) or it could be an error (as others pointed out consistently).

:::::::As Subs says, let's not forget that we're seeing in-developmet assets that are probably far from final. The weapon may have been intended as the same rifle with updated attahments initially, then changed to a successor model later in development, and these assets are from before that change happened.

:::::::::As I understand, the original CE rocket launcher was M19.

#{{Oppose}} — Typo argument might be wrong. If it is indeed a typo, and assuming someone has informed bsangel of it, the article that revealed the designation would be fixed. We've seen [http://www.halopedian.com/index.php?title=Type-25_Troop_Carrier&action=historysubmit&diff=937097&oldid=935897 one particular instance of this] before during the development of ''Reach''. As it is, it is either we're wrong to assume it is a BR55 or bsangel (or 343i in general) is at fault because of a typo. The benefit of the doubt would thus be placed on bsangel. — <span style="font-size:16px; font-family:OrbitronMedium;">[[User:Subtank|<span style="color:#FF4F00;">subtank</span>]]</span> 06:31, 21 April 2012 (EDT) | #{{Oppose}} — Typo argument might be wrong.

Also, one needs to ask: how could one type 8 over 5 if the supposedly intended designation is "55"? Even if you use a keypad, it would eventually turn out as 55... unless bsangel had something else on her mind as she type it out. — <span style="font-size:16px; font-family:OrbitronMedium;">[[User:Subtank|<span style="color:#FF4F00;">subtank</span>]]</span> 06:31, 21 April 2012 (EDT) | Also, one needs to ask: how could one type 8 over 5 if the supposedly intended designation is "55"?

:I was going to make a codpiece joke, but when I typed it up it just sounded offensive and irrelevant. So what I'll say instead is that, yes, as you said there seems to real reason why typing 55 would produce 85, and that when in doubt we should always default to the official company statement. -- [[User:Specops306|<b><font color=indigo>Specops306</font></b>]] [[halofanon:user:Specops306|<u><i><font color=blue><sup>Autocrat</sup></font></i></u>]] [[User talk:Specops306|<u><i><font color=purple><sup>Qur'a 'Morhek</sup></font></i></u>]] 08:45, 21 April 2012 | :I was going to make a codpiece joke, but when I typed it up it just sounded offensive and irrelevant.
