The AR has become an iconic weapon to the series, so I don't see why it would be removed. There are different times and places for weapons to be used throughout the mod, so I don't see either of them being cut.

The SMG fills the role and behavior of the H1 AR.
The AR fills the role of the 32 round AR you all know and love, with a slightly slower ROF. The two will have their video together when the time comes.

there is no love for the 32 round AR.

I'd rather a 60 round AR than 32.

The 60-round assault rifle is equivalent to the SMG.

I love the 32 round ar

therefore, there is love for it.

Can we haz 48-round AR?

that would probably be a good compromise for everybody

Basically this, the 60 round AR will spew a ton of bullets, 32 of which will be as accurate as all of the 32 rounds that the 32 round AR fires...

And the hypothetical 48-round AR?

sounds like the default AR with 12 fewer rounds and 3 fewer RPS with a tiny bit more accuracy.

It's almost if you guys desperately want the MA5K.

I'll still take the MA5K even if it wasn't a minigun.

If you do add in the MA5K, could you do something about the fore grip?

it always looked a bit funky

I would definitely like to see that actually, the SMG has always been one of the most bland guns in Halo to me atleast.

Is there going to be dynamic damage arrows?

I think this could be a good idea. It looks more like a Halo 1 weapon than the SMG does, methinks.

No don't get rid of the SMGs

I think I remember something about having 2 different player biped options (ODST and Spartan)

Get rid of the SMG's when you play as a Spartan and keep them when you play as an ODST.

What masters no vidoc today?

It's coming, I am mainly waiting on the transitions to be sent to me. It should be up before midnight tonight. Part of the delay is we had to make a last minute change as to what we wanted to do for todays, the other part of the delay is all the developments on TV with the Boston Bombers.

ma5k is my favorite CMT weapon so far. I'd live to see it. But it appears to be officially 30 ammo...

As its own weapon, 30-round mags would make sense, but if it was being used as an analogue to the SMG, I think they could get away with bumping up the magazine capacity: the stock and magazine seem to be of similar dimensions to that of the MA5B, and they manage to fit sixty rounds in there... somehow.

I was playing Crysis 3, and when I fired the Typhoon, I was instantly reminded of the CE AR's ridiculous fire rate :P

I think CMT should decide how much ammo their gun has....

I'm saying this because I made a 30 ammo counter based on some video about ARs and I dont want to change it...

this

*let the record show that the smg is Delicon20's favorite gun in the halo series and if removed peaceful protests will follow, followed by riots, leading up to a military occupation of Halomaps by Delicon20's forces*

idk, it already looks bullpupish (the smg at the top is a bullpup speedpaint from google)

might be interesting though

Apparently, there is a variant that uses ammo with casing.

Dibs on animating it.

Didn't Ghosts of Onyx describe it as having a 30 round mag?

Pretty sure it didn't. I forget how we came up with the 48 round magazine. Maybe that was listed in the book. It's funny how much our weapon's information has spread, at one point halo.wikia listed it as the assault carbine with a 48 round clip and semi automatic fire. Also if I don't hear back from Kozakuu by 2:00 I will start to render the video without the cool title cards. This week will be profiling the Plasma Pistols.

I don't remember where in the book it says it, but halopedia agrees with 30 rounds. Either way though, it's still your weapon so you get the final say.

http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/MA5K_Carbine

It's not impossible to have varying magazine sizes in the future I'm guessing... so therefore it would stand to reason that there could've been extended magazines that increased the size of the magazine to 48?

If cmt does bring back the ma5k, might I suggest adding a small scope for longer distance combat? After all, it does make a nice mid to long range weapon when trigger fingered (or at least the cut publicly released version did) like the hammerburst from gears of war.

how about

60 rounds per clip
15 rounds per second
named MA5B
