Universe and lore[edit]
- Main article: MA5B assault rifle
In the original Combat Evolved, the Assault Rifle featured is the MA5B assault rifle; a 7.62x51mm rifle in the MA5 series utilised by the UNSC Marine Corps and UNSC Navy.[2][3]
In Anniversary, the weapon's model was replaced with that of the MA5C assault rifle from Halo 3, though in-game materials still refer to it using all of the original CE designations. Despite this, the original CE design is considered the canonical MA5B in reference texts released since.[4]
The Evolved MA5 weapon skin featured in Halo Infinite was designed to reference the original Combat Evolved MA5B. Likewise, a weapon skin for the assault rifle in Halo: Combat Evolved was designed to mimic the look of the original 2001 model.
