ok,so in halo 1/ce there was only an assault rifle,magmum(idk how to spell im lazy),rockets,sniper,and shotgun......if you look at the end of the halo wars trailer(yes i know im very late with this so dont post crap)the spartans are holding battle rifles.And im pretty sure they said the game was supposed to take place before halo 1/ce.




Anyone care to explain?????

Well, I could try to come up with some idea of how this happened or I could just remind you that it is a game doesn't always follow the logical order of things.

Just because they weren't on the Pillar of Autumn doesn't mean they didn't exist. Stop assuming -blam!-. Read the books.

They have completely different stories and perspectives. You seem like you could use some reading time.

You can do both. Trust me, if you haven't read the books you are missing out.

p.s. This Halo: Reach game is designed off of one of the books called the Fall of Reach. You should read it so you will have a basic idea of what to expect from the game.

Because the games tell you almost nothing compared to the books. The Battle Rifle was first trialled in 2524 by Staff Sergeants Johnson and Byrne in a zero G confrontation against some Jackals. Halo CE took place in 2552 meaning the BR was definitely around by then. The Pillar of Autumn simply didn't have any in her inventory.

The BR55 Battle Rifle was a avaliable firearm at that time.

Everybody wants change, but you don't know what you're changing into...

In the books I believe the Pillar of Autumn was a stripped down ship and had a specific mission. They probably just didn't have them on there. The books are pretty good by the way.

Major Flaw?

more like miniscule, non existent flaw.

New > Old when canon is regarded.
Bungie > Everyone else when two games or products conflict with eachother, and are roughly the same age.

I think the game is about the Battle of Reach and not the book you mentioned. If I remember correctly the book only covers the Master Chiefs training/past and 15 minutes before the battle.

Halo Wars screwed up on the game canon. So many thing were flawed with its story.

The Fall of Reach was the Battle of Reach, it wasn't just about the Master Chief's story.

Thats true but the BR55 and M7 SMG are mentioned in the book Contact Harvest so they're possibly in. I don't think the Spartan Laser is though, we could always get a Gauss Rifle instead.

no it wasn't. the fall of reach was ONLY masterchiefs side of it. which was practically none of it. First Strike was, in part, about the fall of reach.

also, explain. I cannot think of a single point where the canon was broken. I can think of a few points where simple common sense, and in part, the laws of physics are broken. (Not in gameplay, but in story)

Actually, I can think of one possible canon screw up, but it's subjective on your personal understanding of The Ghosts of Onyx.

looks like you could also use a few years of aging, unless you actually type like that because you are too lazy or stupid to speak english.

Sieg Zeon

if u read contact harvest u saw that they were testing the battle rifle, and also the pillar just wasnt carrying the weapon, and also they hadnt simply thought up the idea for the gun when they made the game

well, i doubt Bungie had even thought of the BR and other new weapons, it just when Halo 2 came out, they wanted to make the game even more better then the first, so they put more features and weapons in the game, but Halo wars also stuffed the story line up, not a flaw, just bad planning

  • 07.17.2009 8:35 PM PDT

The Pillar of Autumn (according to the book) was damaged and lost most of her armory, that's also why (I think) it crash landed on Halo.
