Pulse rifle all the way, but if we're talkin about using guns from Aliens then go for the Smart gun. Theres already an assault rifle/primary gun in Halo 2. Why not put in a back up machine gun.
BTW, the round that the S2 AM sniper uses is just 1mm shorter than the 15.2mm sabot round the Steyr uses. The only advantage the Steyr has is the extra capacity of one round, and possibly the extra 1mm on the round. Why not suggest new sniper rifle that uses a new type of ammunition?
Because It is a real gun and the current most powerful one currently known. Notice that the steyr is more powerful than that other gun of the future for the game. I think bungie should of came up with a better rifle.
I thought the Steyr was cool at one time but after playing enough Halo and other FPS, the Steyr is just too impracticle. Why would Marine fighting the Covenant need an anti-tank gun? Does a long burst of AR fire take out an Elite shield faster than three shots from the pistol in normal difficulty?
The type of gun that the UNSC R&D should make is something that doesnt rely on brute force to kill a target. The type needs to be made to fight the Covenant, which means that your trying to penatrate shield instead of heavy body armor. The gun has to be a semiauto similar to the S2, but has to be chamdered in something more along the lines of a .338 lapua rather than a round the size of a 20mm. With the deduction in size, the capacity of the magazine can grow to hold more that 4 or 5 rounds. The gun also has to be configured differently from the conventional setup to a bullpup layout to bring down the overall length down to something the size of a assault rifle rather than a long gun. One layout option would be something similar to the Walther WA2000 sniper rifle which was made in the 80's, but due to the high price it was never went into full production. Making a gun that can carry 10+ explosive tippped armor piercing rounds is going to be extremly effective compared to the large conventional ammo thats used in the S2 or the Steyr.
