Because it's really easy to judge accuracy from a low quality leaked picture.

People are already remaking it for CE?

Really? I never expected that.

It's going to look nothing like that once you see real pic.

3 words: class based combat.[/TF2 fanboy]

That would actually make me want to get Halo Reach.

First, forgive my link. I had the wrong article.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Army_Squad_Designated_Marksman_Rifle

Secondly, there's a flaw in your argument.

The MA5K looks more like a scopeless BR55 than an MA5B/C. It also did not have a bullet counter. The MA5C/B resembled the BR55 more than the MA5K. Yet, it was a completely different class of weapon.

All I'm saying is this weapon is so different than the BR in design and functionality that I'm willing to bet the class will be completely new.

That being said, I'm done with this debate. There's no need to keep a debate goingwhen the other side won't even consider other possibilities.

Still looks like crap. Wait for the real pics to come out soon. Shouldn't be long at all. The leaked cell phone shot is more detailed than your model.

Edit: Muki, you're being as big an idiot as some of the others here are. It's a BR. Sorry buddy.

Way to point out the obvious. I don't really care how accurate it is as of yet, im no modeller (really, you do NOT want to see what this loks like in wireframe) and there not decent references yet. When the time comes, the model is going to be replaced.

Perfect name for the new BR COMBAT RIFLE FTW!

no.

It's a battle rifle-like weapon, but not 'the' battle rifle. 'The'Battle rifle was in halo 2 and 3, and this one looks a bit different, maybe something like an older prototype br or something, but not the halo 2 and 3 battle rifle.

FTFY
Masterz and Dennis are the only non-idiots on this forum.

Oh, looks like some sort of battle rifle to me. Maybe whoever owns it got bored and threw a huge scope on it to make the fanbois all freak out and argue :P

anyone notice that most of the armor were variations that were in Halo 3 MP, like the guy with the skull on his visor wore EVA armor, and the girl wore CQB armor, I believe the player or the "lieutenant" wheres a variant of ODST armor, the one in the dropship looks like he is wearing some sort of variant of the Rogue armor, and lastly, George wears some sort of Mjolnir armor, might be a variant of Mark 5 as it seems, only one I am not sure about is the Commander, although it also looks roughly like Rogue armor

If it is a BR, then what will happen to the H1 pistol seen in the screenies. You know this one.

Probably act like the one in Halo 3...
The M6D is in Halo 3, along with the br..

ho hum.
Also It does seem likely that you play as sparten IIIs.

This is official btw, scroll down the page. It can be written into the story line I suppose.

How the hell could you play as a spartan 3 if they weren't even around during that time when reach fell?

I thought the spartan 3's were around and training on Reach during its downfall so I think it's likely that you would play as them.

SIII's would have SPI armor. And SIII's fight in large numbers, about the whole company of SIII's would fight at the same time, about 200-300.

Spartan 3's were trained on Onyx..

yeah and also the SP3 project didn't start till after reach was destroyed thats partly the reason that they were trained on onyx.

read the Ghosts of Onyx book before you suggest this, the Spartan threes never went to reach, and after Onyx was destroyed just after Reach fell, no more Spartan 3's were made

So, it's either a typo, that has now been replicated a lot by now.
Or Bungie are going to say that they were training in secret.

lux lyk a nuke launcher 2 meh.

I felt a need to put an end to the ignorance/lack of knowledge in this forum.

For future reference, the Spartan III project officially began at 1950 hours on December 27, 2532 at Camp Currahee on the planet Onyx in the Zeta Doradus system.

From page 67 of the book Halo: Ghosts of Onyx, by Eric Nylund.

Also, it's not a Battle Rifle. Look at it again. The only thing it has in common with the Battle Rifle is the stock. The rest of it is a completeley different design. Sorry.

Later.

^ Karrde is right I looked at the "BR" and it is similar but there are design differences its got a scope, iron sights, what looks like it could be a built on bipod similar to the H3 sniper, and maybe a silencer I'm not really sure. And no there aren't spartan 3's there supposed to be spartan 2's that are using old armor, or maybe even prototypes for newer armor, and armor variants like those in H3.

Oh also looked at the sniper rifle and it seems to be the same as the H3 with a built on bipod and everything, but it seems like they cut it down and used less and thiner metal maybe to make it lighter I really don't know why.

The style they seem to be going for is a more "exposed interior" style. I like it, as it makes everything seem more "prototype"-esque, not as refined and sleek as the Mark V from Halo 1. It also gives them a good reason to cram everything with more detail if everything's stripped down and there's alot more exposed interior.

@SwordMaster and Karade:

Thats like saying this is an M16:


And this isnt an M16:


And there both M16s.

Looks like a Br IMO, btw the pictures are mine incase you've been to B.net.

Some more comparisons I made.

Damn, just look at how far Halo has come. Especially looking at that crewman comparison.

i am soo sad...
i never got to experience to play halo wars, halo3 and halo 3 odst. AND NAO THIS???
my god im missing all the fun
I want 360 nao T_T

You have to remember that's just a video. Chances are it's not going to look that good ingame. Compare Any of the characters from ODST to that Spartan. Although Reach will be using a different engine from Halo 3 there might be a chance it looks better but I wouldn't keep your hopes up.
