As part of their in depth analysis of random Halo 3 technology, Bungie.net posted an analysis of an old weapon gone new, the MA5C Assault Rifle. Again, it is written in an army field report style with soldier opinions, technical specifications, and weapon combo strategies. One of our favorite soldier quotes referring to the assault rifle has to be "The (MA5C) is the workhorse for us ground-pounders. Just holding it makes you feel like God's own anti-son-of-a-blam!-machine". The assault rifle is similar in looks to it's older brother the MA5B (which appeared in the original Halo), but acts more like its Halo 2 cousin the BR55 Battle Rifle. Key differences that separate this assault rifle from the Halo version is that the clip holds much less rounds (32 to be exact), each bullet is more damaging, and it is much more accurate at longer distances. We also hear that it's wicked brutal when used as a melee weapon. The MA5C Assault Rifle will be the workhorse in Halo 3 and we're looking forward to using it to splatter grunt juice over every wall.

I think you mean 'fewer' rounds. I guess video game nerds don't get don't do English well.

As long as it is closer in feel to the original assault rifle, I'll be happy. The battle rifle in Halo2 was awful. I'm still unhappy with the 32 round clips, though.

Im very happy with the fact that it does more damage because in the first game it was really really weak cause I'd sit there in front of an elite with it in front of me and just go buuzzzzz..... with it for half an hour before the elite finnaly died and the whole fewer rounds thing is good because it went on for to long. Just my opinion
