Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The MA5C Assault Rifle that makes its comeback in "Halo 3" is a true upgrade from the one originally in "Halo: Combat Evolved".

Answer: True

The MA5C is in fact a true upgrade from the MA5B in the original "Halo" game. It now has increased range, increased power, and better accuracy, as the bullets now have less spread. All of this comes with a price of a smaller clip size.

2. The new rocket launchers in the game are mostly the same. Which one of these is true about the new rocket launchers?

Answer: No lock-on

The removal of the lock-on has a lot of the less skilled players very upset. A lot of these players relied on the lock-on for their kills. With this removed it has added a new challenge to the game, for both single and multiplayer.

3. The Covenant Needlers now have the capability of duel-wielding.

Answer: False

The is the opposite of what has been changed. The needlers did have the possibility of duel-wielding in the previous games, but thought to be too good for medium range, this has been changed for the newest edition.

4. The Covenant Carbine is the opposite to what human weapon?

Answer: Battle Rifle

Though these two weapons are thought to be the EXACT same, they are not. The human battle rifle has a 3-round burst shot giving it more accuracy. It also has a bit more power than the Carbine. In single player campaign, both are best used against jackals.

5. Do the new needlers have the ability to home-in on its targets?

Answer: Yes

The homing ability is quite limited. For the most part though, if you get your targets quite close to your crosshairs, they will make contact. In addition they explode shortly after hitting your target, for added damage, and mostly death.

6. The spartan laser has how long of a charge time?

Answer: 3 seconds

The New Spartan Laser is the most powerful Human weapon available. It fires a piercing beam of energy that penetrates several targets and destroys vehicles, but the charge time leaves you vulnerable to enemy fire.

7. There are how many Covenant weapons in the game? This includes brute weapons. Thanks to kingdm for this error.

Answer: Eleven

They are the plasma pistol, plasma rifle, carbine, needler, beam rifle, fuel rod cannon, energy sword, brute spiker, brute mauler, brute shot, and the gravity hammer. In legendary the beam rifle, fuel rod cannon, energy sword, and the gravity hammer can all kill you in one hit so watch out. The brute shot only takes two shots.

8. There are more covenant weapons in the game than human weapons.

Answer: True

There are only eight human weapons. They include the following: pistol, battle rifle, SMG, assault rifle, sniper rifle, shotgun, rocket launcher, and the brand new spartan laser.

9. If you and a friend were to play on multiplayer and both have an energy sword, what would happen if you were to hit each other at the same time?

Answer: You would bounce off of and lose all of your shields

In the event that this happens you will both jump back slightly. If this does happen, do not attack right away. Wait until your enemy attacks (should not be close enough but not 100%) and you can kill them by running just a little closer. As you already know, the energy sword is indeed a one-hit kill.

10. What is the special feature of the plasma pistol when it is fully charged?

Answer: It completely drains shields

This can be very very useful if done right. This was previously called the noob combo (knocking down shields, then using different weapon to quickly kill) before the game changed the time between switching weapons, but this can still be very useful when playing with teammates. You can lower shields and your friends can shoot once to kill the target.
