We should still complain, Bungie has Halo three and the ability to update games over the internet.
The Battle Rifle is an insuficient replacemant for the Pistol. It cannot Kill people effectively at mid range distances (Being from Camp Froman to the other side of the map) you can take a sniper out of zoom with one of the three bullets but it would be hard to kill a compitent sniper at mid range or longer with the battle rifle.
If we're going for military efficeny, the guns in halo 2 suck. We currently have an assualt rifle with a 6X computerized scope, hooked up to a hud, and it has a clip of six high explosive rounds. It's rounds are 5.56 or .223 and the HE rounds are20x85mm.
The Assualt rifle is 7.62 mm or .308 (like a garand)
The M6D is 12.7 HEmm I think thats .50 HE but I may be wrong.
The sniper is 14.5 mm almost like http://world.guns.ru/sniper/sn46-e.htm or an anti-tank sniper
An army could use theese weapons, if they were poor or needed to equip alot of soldiers, like in Halo
halo 2
The Battle rifle is 9.5 mm which isnt better than the 7.62 because it is a pistol round
Sniper, same
Magnum, odd name magnum refers to the fact that there is extra gunpowder in the round, but it is laughably weak, it is the same size but it is almost three times weaker.
These guns imply no evolution in firearms.
Another odd bit.
It would appear that both sides decided to make their arsenal really weak.
Plasma burn? "We found our plasma makes the enemy slow down" "Really?" "Yes" "Remove that effect" "What!? But-" "Remove it" "Ok"
HE rounds? "These rounds really hurt the Covenent" "Really?" "Yes" "Destroy all of them" "The covenent?" "No the rounds" "But-" "Do it"
Sniper recoil? "This gun has no recoil" "Really?" "Yes" "Give it recoil" "But-" "Now"
Unless both ships were carrying experemental technology, but put the makers, and blueprints on both ships.
That is the M6D from a realistic point of view.
As a gamer, well just read my sig.
