::I agree with Tuckerscreator from a Doylist perspective. Using only one model each was simply a pragmatic approach to game development. On that note, it's fairly easy to pretend that the MA5D is a ''C'', that the M6H is a ''G'', and that the Warthog is an earlier model. However, I have a theory about the battle rifle, which looks vastly different from its ''Halo 3''-era predecessor.

::I've already explained my fanwank for the BR85 [[Talk:BR85 Heavy Barrel Service Rifle#Explanation for Halo 4|here]], but I'll condense it. The 2010 reprint of ''First Strike'' states that the CASTLE Base battle rifle has an integrated optics rail: the ''85'' has a built-in Picatinny rail, unlike the ''55''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s drilling and tapping. Fred regards the weapon as "the BR55's newest version," but that could have been his assumption rather than an indication that it really was an updated BR55. Because of this, I like to think that the BR85 was being tested by summer 2552. As for why the ''Dawn'' would carry BR85s, keep in mind that the 11th MFR/ODST were launching an expedition to ''who-knows-where''. They were probably outfitted with top-of-the-line toys for their little vacation outside the galaxy; well, they don't use them in ''Halo 3'' but you get the idea. --[[User:Braidenvl|Courage never dies.]] ([[User talk:Braidenvl|talk]]) 23:36, 26 February 2013 (EST)

I have to say though, I preferred the old Warthog model better, but that's me. I have to agree though on the use of the newer models. Siphon 117 08:51, 27 February 2013 (EST)
