Some of that stuff is pretty cool looking, the animated concept art is still stunning.

They finally got a LMG, M398.

Eh....do you mean the M739?

I don't think there IS an M398, unless you're looking at Halo Fanon; in that case, it's the long barreled version of the DMR, entitled the EVR.

M-something or other, anyway it's meant to be like the MA5B in Halo CE.

I thought it was just called the SAW (Squad something weapon)

Do the hurried annotator, yes.

Huh, wha?

Also, SAW is Squad Automatic Weapon. LSW better TLA though.

Ahh right, keep forgetting the second word.

New shit and stuff, looky looky.

Yay!

The UNSC finally has an LMG!

[Creative Vikings]

But where the fuck is the M7S?!

[Malshan]

But where the fuck is the M7S?!

It's not manly enough for a Spartan to use, therefore it's not available.

Besides, it was an ODST weapon. Not that the Chief would complain, but I think he'd prefer something that would actually penetrate an Elite's shields within a single clip. Like that new ARC-920. Accelerating a 25 gram slug to about 5 kilometers per second.....

Packs quite a punch.

Well if dual-wielding isn't in, than why not have the M7S?! There's still marines and stuff!

I still remember the badass motherf*****s that were the marines of Halo CE. They could fight like mad and kill dozens of covenant soldiers before they went down. Sons, i am proud. Shame only a handful of marines escaped halo in the book.

Dubbo, Stacker and Johnson made it out and that's all that really mattered.

Yeah but if a dozen or so redshirt marines made it out, i would have been even more happy, cuz they did kick ass. One time i saw a single marine take on two hunters, killed one before the other hit him into a wall.

That was a game you know, certain restrictions on realism.

Of course its a game, but still, overall the marines out of CE were the best imo. then probably the army troopers in reach because they looked cool with the armour.

Edit: speaking of marines, has anyone seen any pics of the marines in Halo4?

The picture with John running down a corridor with troops, the one on the right may be a Marine.

Here's a good one. I couldn't find any with only the marine in it, though.

And then this image popped up as well. I believe that he's voicing one of the Marines. Here's the website explaining it.

Looks cool, i take it the two behind the chief are odsts? or maybe spartan 4's if they are in SP.

Conan O brien as a marine, sweet.

The one on the right is definitely a marine. Whether it's an ODST or not, I'm not sure.

If they are odsts im annoyed, the other ones were cooler looking, still a good design but still preferred the other ones.

The guy on the right looks suspiciously like he has a modern vest.

That's what I thought. I then thought that there would be no way that a Spartan would wear something like that.

Most likely because there is no way the UNSC can be called anything but modern in some aspects.

7.62 NATO rifles? 7.62 NATO cased rifles?

Anyway, it's a good design, so at least it's not like they're using a bad modern thing.

Yeah. For some reason, all FT fighting games must have armor plate on infantry.

Halo itself incorporates elements of FT as well as PMT. The weapons technology is PMT, as well as the standard defensive equipment. The MJORLNIR suits are a bit of a stretch, but the early models could be considered PMT as well. They lacked energy shielding, after all.

The starships are FT, for sure, but the surface equipment may very well reside within PMT.

Considering RL MT uses armored plates, it's not much of a surprise that Halo uses them as well. Besides, when technology fails, it's better to have a solid wall between you and incoming ordnance.
