So, does anyone else hink that it's along the same lines as the MA5K? If so, how do you guys think it will differ from the main Assault Rifle?
Honestly, though I do believe that it is something similar to the MA5K, I cannot see how it would differ from the Assault Rifle, besides being slightly weaker. Missing Mandible 17:04, 19 April 2012 (EDT)
- 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.
