Gameplay

Changes from Type-51 carbine in Halo 2: Anniversary

Much higher accuracy at longer ranges.
Slightly more bloom.
Magazine size increased from 18 to 20, also resulting in more reserve ammo to coincide with new magazine size (72 to 80).
Lighting on magazine will gradually change color from blue to red as ammunition is depleted, fulfilling a similar function as seen in Halo 2 and Halo 3.
Retains the 7-headshot kill of the Halo 4 version of the T-51 carbine.
The weapon's coloring has been altered to be more similar to that of the Beam Rifle in Halo 4.
Players using smart scope with the T-57 carbine now bring up its holoscope instead of a full-screen scope.
- In addition, the aiming reticle no longer changes between hipfiring and scoped-in firing.
