Not really. I mean this isn't Star Wars or Star Trek.

Besides we're not the Covenant are we?

Don't upset Achronos or you'll end up with a dog's head in a jar in your mailbox.

Looks 'futuristic' enough for me...

....whut?

If it ain't borke, don't fix it.

There's a reason modern handguns are shaped the way they are.

Ya but this game does take place quite a few years in the future

I was in 5th grade. I popped in the Halo CE disc into the massive, clunky first generation Microsoft Xbox, and wrapped my small hands around the controller that was almost too big for me. Little did I know what I was getting into.

10+ years later, I still look up to my childhood hero, Master Chief, while everyone talks about He Man and Spongebob haha

The thing about Bungie's human weapons are that they wanted the player to have a more familiar feel with the game, and thus made weapons that we can associate with more.

In my opinion, I like black guns that shoot bullets.

The only beef I have is clip size. 500 years later, and we have 12 rounds in a mag?

At least 25, come on!

No it's fine as it is. We are the UNSC not Covenant with their shiny shinies and sticky stickies, Why did you post this twice

Also, the weapons don't LOOK futuristic but the technology inside them is. Like the scoping technology that links directly to your HUD... pretty futuristic if you ask me.

And yeah like mayonade said, we're not the Covenant.

Oh dang! That man just ordered breakfast in the middle of my rap song!

The design of guns hasn't changed too much overall since they were first around. And I don't want to be like purple or something. That's what Covie weaponry's for. It looks fine as is.

Yeah it's a new era but maybe it isn't for looks. I mean if you see the civilians in Halo 3 they still dress like we do in the 21st Century. Cars also look kind of the same.

@Spartan Laser: It's not really weird, we have lasers right now that can burn through stuff, it's just a small laser on steroids.

Indeed. The pistol design works, why change it? It's been hundreds of years since the Musket was invented, but the basic design of modern guns is still comparable to it. Of course, technology evolves and the designs change; as evidenced by a comparison between the MA5 series of weapons/other Halo rifles and the M14 and most modern rifles; ours are standard, fore-mag loaders. The Halo weapons are all bullpup in design. These changes are to be expected, but, otherwise, we're pretty standard as these things go.

You could have just edited it.

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

Its about as futuristic as a standard ballistics-type weapon can get.

Check out the group, Planet Reach and talk about Bungie's next game without the annoyance of the public forum. Oh and it's nice there too.

You thought you had lag, it took Jesus 3 days to re-spawn.

Oh man, i know what you mean. Super sci-fi looking. Bigger with more lasers and stuff. Oh man that would be...terrible. No, just no.

Self-proclaimed genius.
Roam the streets with a sign, "will love for false hope."

It looks pretty futuristic for me. Why does the BR resemble every single modern rifle out there?

Why does the Assault Rifle have a giant flashlight rather than being more compact?

The Automag looks just fine.
