Master Chief. Locked and loaded. - Image 1


Over at Bungie's site, they've just posted a profile of a new weapon that you'll be able to use in Halo 3. We won't bore you with any more chit-chat as we know that all you hardcore Halo players are all about the no-nonsense, serious whoop-ass action you'll soon be doing, once the game hits the shelves. That said, allow us to introduce you to the MA5C Assault Rifle. Here are some of the things you'll need to know about this weapon:
  • Official designation: MA5C
  • Length (o/a): 88 cm (34.6 in.)
  • Length (barrel): 60.7 cm (24 in.)
  • Weight (empty): 3.8 kg (8.378 lbs)
  • Weight (loaded): 4.1 kg (9.05 lbs)
  • Cartridge: 7.62mm x 51 FMJ
  • Max. effective range: 300 meters (984 ft)
  • Muzzle velocity: 905 m/s (2970 f/s)
  • Magazine capacity: 32 rounds
  • Rate of fire: 750 – 900 rnds/min
  • Unit Replacement cost: 1686.00
The MA5C 7.62mm rifle is a gas-operated, magazine-fed and air-cooled weapon designed for automatic fire. It has an attached electronics suit that'll provide the soldier (that would be YOU) with information on how many rounds remain in the magazine, as well as give compass heading, and other "housekeeping" functions.

Tons more info about this weapon can be found on Bungie's site which you can access via the read link below, so read on if you wanna find out more. We'll keep you posted for further news and developments.

..sh*t they didnt show any new screen shots, just old ones, and the info has little or no use to most people, why didnt they just have a couple new multiplayer shots or some renders of the gun by it self.

I look forward to leaked info more than I look foward to offical bungie updates.

I guess this isn't much use to stupid people

Once again, these are called BUNGIE WEEKLY UPDATES, not HALO 3 WEEKLY UPDATES. They could talk about the flavor of coffee they drank in the morning if they felt like it, they don't owe you anything. Go crawl back into your hole and cry you illiterate f*ck

only a co*k sucker like you would want to read what they had to drink in the morning,

stop sucking bungies nuts raw, if their gonna post some new info which is actually about halo 3 then put something new to see, it not the weekly update, the weekly update passed already, your brain must be filled with cum from sucking so much bungie *****

I was more talking to everyone who thinks like that (like the people commenting the Halo 3 last article, where Bungie talked about the grass), but it still applies to you, even though this isn't the Weekly Update (I know what day of the week it is). If you get pissed because Bungie didn't show any new screens (boo-f*cking-hoo) and you think they owe you something, you don't deserve to play Halo and should slit your wrists.

Would you prefer Bungie said a *little* something about Halo 3, or nothing at all? And what other developer gives ViDocs on their game before it releases? Bungie has given us two of those already, both packed with information and glimpses of the game. They've already given you more than you deserve (talking to everyone who thinks Bungie needs to show Halo 3 in every BUNGIE weekly update, but especially to JCP)

 » Right on, JCP's mom.

Couldn't aggree more. People who ***** about not getting enough Halo 3 infor obviously weren't reading WWU's back in the months before and after Halo 3 was announcd. They talked about practically nothing at all.

Compared to what Bungie usually gives us, this is an eternal spring of information. And no, Bungie doesn't owe you anything. Either don't read the updates if you think theyre a waste of time, or don't ***** about the lack of information when there is indeed information there, if you just have an eye for it.

It Seems Halo3 isnt As Anticipated as Everyone thinks..

Judging From the Posts in this Thread,It Seems Most of the People Waiting for it are Kids,So much for the Hype.

 » Ohh

So that's how much it weighs when loaded, I'm going to have to adjust my gaming strategy to take that into account. I wonder how dense it is. I wonder if you can shoot the grass with it.....I hope they do an article on grass.....
