*In | *In earlier stages of the [[Development of Halo: Reach|development]] of ''Halo: Reach'', the M392 was stamped with the label "Armalite MG UNSC"; sharing a name with the real-world [[Wikipedia:ArmaLite|ArmaLite, Inc.]] The decal was removed in the final game and ''Halo: The Essential Visual Guide'' states that the weapon is manufactured by Misriah Armory.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} | ||
*The DMR held only twelve rounds until quite late in the development of ''Halo: Reach'', most notably in the game's [[Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta|multiplayer beta]]. The increased magazine capacity was likely intended to afford the possibility of attaining three kills with a single magazine. Also during the ''Beta'', the background color and numbers of the M392's ammunition indicator were green instead of blue, and the numbers were more rounded. The scope's lens was a deeper shade of green than in the final game. | *The DMR held only twelve rounds until quite late in the development of ''Halo: Reach'', most notably in the game's [[Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta|multiplayer beta]].

*In the ''Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta'' the assault rifle was given to players' Spartan models in their service records, as in ''Halo 3''. However, in the final game, this was replaced with the DMR. Similarly, Elites, who were formerly depicted carrying the [[Type-25 plasma rifle|plasma rifle]], are now drawn carrying the Covenant equivalent of the DMR, the [[Type-31 needle rifle|needle rifle]]. | *In the ''Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta'' the assault rifle was given to players' Spartan models in their service records, as in ''Halo 3''.
