Why is the assualt rifle in flood?

i’m not sure if this was hacked or not because im pretty sure you cant see hacks like this from other players perspectives but anyways i was playing flood and i heard a strange noise, i looked over and there was a spartan shooting an assualt rifle at a group of flood and his armor was all grey (not the regular ugly lime green) and i was a little confused so i checked my gametype then decided to keep playing and he went ahead and betrayed a group of players and was booted, is this a strange loadout glitch becuase he himself looked a little confused, or is he just hacking?

After a pretty long host migration (1 minute) I spawned with the AR and the Pistol. Then I died because they’re useless in Flood. :confused:

I thought normal matchmaking had shotgun and pistol as starter?

Its a bug. Happens once in a while.

I’ve seen the most common one of a green spartan on the Flood team using the AR. I’m not clear on what causes the bug, but it happens.

if its a bug thats pretty awesome! i hope it happens to me, it looked like alot of fun, and does anyone else think a game mode with flood versus spartans with saws would be pretty fun, sure it might be OP but some nerfing could occur to make it fair, just a thought.
