Not to play devils advocate or anything, but I found this piece of concept art to be interesting.
It looks like the Halo 5 rocket launcher is being held by the Spartan on the right…

The vehicle to the left is the most interesting.

Yea. I think it’d be cool if 343i drew inspiration from past Halo concept art and included cool looking thinks from them.
Looks like SPNKR, but with a single tube. Doesn’t make Halo 5’s generic rocket design any more acceptable.
Nice concept art, though. Those vehicles NEED to be in Halo 5! Those Spartans, That MA5C inspired LMG… Holy -Yoink-, EVERYTHING in this image looks so UNSC! 343 should base their human designs off of these! That Pelican… Not so much. Use Reach’s final design.
At least use similar Models to these for Halo Wars 2.
Oh boy the gun the front guy is holding is scaring me. It looks like a LMG with a box mag. I don’t think halo is any place for hardcore automatic weapons. The SAW was way too good in 4

Why? It looks like a cool weapon to use in Campaign mode.
If I remember right, this is concept art for Reach. The chest armor of the Spartan on the right did make it into Reach, as the Security chest I believe. The single tube rocket was probably going to be a variant or predecessor to the SPNKr. The dropship, which what I find most interesting, was probably an early concept for the Falcon, as it looks like it has the side opening like the final version of the Falcon did. Would have actually much preferred that one over the propeller one in the final game, as it clashes with the UNSC aesthetic. The…what I’m guessing is an APC, also looks interesting, but too much of it is obscured to really make out.

Ok LMG’s in campaign is alright but the last thing halo needs is LMGs with box mags running around in MP. Next thing players will be able to add on rapid fire and add on Infrared scopes

I understand that. Halo has always stood out from all the other shooters out there, adding that type of stuff in multiplayer may bend towards an identity crisis.

That is not a Pelican by my interpretation. It could be a supply ship like from Halo Wars.
Another thing is that Bungie had intended for a weapon called the G4H-DuSH to be in a Halo Game but they ditched the idea for some reason. You can still see what it looked like though.
Single-barrel SPNKR? Interesting.
Halo 5’s rocket launcher still doesn’t look right though. Only time I thought it looked cool was when it was on my back in the outro screen.
I like that helmet on the left.
