:We know that Halo 4 will include two similar weapons, the BR85 and DMR, which will fill subtly different niches. I can see the same being said of the Assault Rifle/Assault Carbine. Something like the MA5K would have a longer range and tighter spread, but less ammo and/or lower rate of fire, leaving the MA5C/whatever it is now would be better for up-close spray-and-pray. It satisfies casual fans, and gives more "hardcore" fans an option that suits their playstyles more. I guess. | :We know that Halo 4 will include two similar weapons, the BR85 and DMR, which will fill subtly different niches. I can see the same being said of the Assault Rifle/Assault Carbine.

:Honestly, I'm not entirely convinced GI didn't just misinterpret something 343i said. Can anyone point out a Weekly Update, podcast, statement, etc. where 343i employees even mentioned an Assault Carbine that wasn't the Covenant one?

::Anyways, I thought that Carbines tend to be less accurate than Assault Rifles? I mean the stripped down kinds that are technically Assault Rifle varients.[[User talk:Missing Mandible|Missing Mandible]] 12:28, 20 April 2012 (EDT) | |||
:::I'd have thought the reverse would apply for carbines and assault rifles, Specops. Then again, ''Halo's'' history with firearm realism, particularly in the field of accuracy, is somewhat spotty.--[[User talk:The All-knowing Sith'ari|The All-knowing Sith'ari]] 12:55, 20 April 2012 (EDT) | |||
Somehow I have the image of the spiker in my mind. Do you reckon that would be a reasonable analogy. Mind you this is '''pure speculation'''.[[User talk:Weeping Angel|Weeping Angel]] 23:10, 6 May 2012 (EDT) | |||
