I'm just wondering other than that one with the holoscope and silencer, was there other custom MA5 Series? Like it contains the basic model but has some/most parts modified....

yes there are multiple versions of the popular MA5 assult rife

one being the mods in both :hugeass and coldsnap

Coldsnap has the original, unmodified MA5B AR :|

Hugeass has the one where the secondary fire is a missile.

There are also different modifications, like the MA2B: A stripped-down version of the MA5B. I believe someone did that in a map here - I remember using it, but I can't remember what map it was in >.<

Is someone willing to redo the MA2B? It looks really good... :( but then again, everyone's hands are full.

Found the map I played with the MA2B: Arctic Wasteland V2 http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=1695

don't forget the MA5K

How can you, that thing is awesome.

actually the MA5K is the primary weapon of the spartan IIIS mecause it has a faster fireing rate and is small enough for their child-sized bodies. as seen here on the cover of Halo:ghosts of onyx

Oh cool DMR is based off Steyr AUG? I like it now. But it's not a MA5.

Also, how come no one has mentioned the countless MA5C's lying around?

Ah, shoot, you're right. My bad ^_^;

Well, I was kinda looking for a more custom looking varient than modified varients...but I guess this could turn into a MA5 Discussion thread...

I know there are plenty I've seen them in other threads where people pretty much completely customized them and added red dots, silencers, etc. The problem is I don't remember who made them.

I'm doing a custom MA5k ('just' got to unwrap, texture and animate, none of which I have attempted before - you can see it in the WIP weapon thread, near the end) but my next project is the MA3, which is supposedly completely different. Or, at least, I'm taking it to be. Looks like a cross between the SPIW, barrett and one of the ODST concepts. Dunno if this sort of thing is what you meant, though?

I remember there being some sort of MA2B model floating around ages ago, but it was an awful modification to the vanilla AR with bad textures/unwrap and a little dull, tbh.

What kind of thing were you after?

^^^

Nothing much, just wondering how custom can the MA5 Rifles can get :)

Has anyone tried fixing the reloading glitch for the MA5K?

In case you're wondering, it's the one where the ROF stays the same after reloading, that is if you're holding the firing button.

That's awesome, though!

I don't know if this is fixable - you'll notice the needler and other fire-rate accelerating weapons do this too; the accuracy and ROF are dependent on how long the trigger has been held - including during reloads. If you knew this already then I apologise for being a patronising git...!

Well, as far as being custom goes, I'm inclined to say the Halo universe is such that it is very easy to tack things on to it and just say its part of some special op so no-one will ever see it again or beforehand. And heck, carbon copies of already existing models are boring. A little of your own styling can sometimes make the difference between the trillionth Halo 3 MA5C and something more memorable.

I am rambling due to lack of sleep and extreme stress. Please excuse me.
