Notes
Performs well in a variety of environments and situations. It is similar to the original Assault Rifle on Halo 2 but provides a better grip and has a bigger barrel. The major flaw of the MA5C is the lack of the of a secondary weapon system.
Grade
B+, because it is a solid weapon with the one major flaw.

Notes
It is an anti-vehicle weapon that works long range and short range. It has great range, precise accuracy, and can effectively target an enemy. The drawbacks: very expensive, takes 3 seconds to charge, and it kills anything in its path, including teammates.
Grade
B, because of the cost and the amount of time it takes to charge, although it can be an extremely effective weapon.

Notes
We do know that the bullets are devastating from the spiker, but it's heavy and every movement is "exaggerated". There is little rise (like the SMG in Halo 2) in the spiker. It can easily be compared to the SMG.
Grade
A-, because it is definitely the best weapon we have seen so far.
