In [[Halo 2]], there were minor changes to its appearance but the weapon fired a continuous stream rather than individual blasts while the "drum" reloaded and fired. | In [[Halo 2]], there were minor changes to its appearance but the weapon fired a continuous stream rather than individual blasts while the "drum" reloaded and fired. | ||
In [[Halo 3]], the Assault Cannon is aesthetically very different, but operates much the same as it does in Halo 2. The cannon in Halo 3 can be cut off instantaneously if the target has gone to cover, which stops it from wasting ammunition. Also, in Halo 3, the "claws" seem to have hinges, although they are never seen moving in gameplay. | In [[Halo 3]], the Assault Cannon is aesthetically very different, but operates much the same as it does in Halo 2.

Later in the game, the Hunters can be equipped with the Assault Beam for extra damage.<ref>''[[Halo Wars]]'' Instruction Manual</ref>. | In [[Halo Wars]], the Hunters start with the mortar version of the Assault Cannon.
