Subject: major flaw with halo story-line!!!!!!!

a real plot hole in halo wars is the fact that somehow spartans have shield tech before it was added to the armor

Gameplay is not necessarily canon. It was added for balance reasons... not like their tons of health wasn't enough.

The Battle Rifle was manufactured just before the Covenant war as a prototype marksman's rifle, but was never in widespread use until just before the Battle of Reach. The Pillar of Autumn never carried Battle Rifles because at that point, the MA5 series of Assault Rifles were still standard issue, and the ship was fitted out for a raid on an enemy ship. The Battle Rifle would just be too large and unwieldy to be used at such close ranges, so it wasn't equipped.

Every piece of UNSC equipment we see in the main trilogy of Halo games, no matter what game it is, exists at the same time (Not counting Halo Wars, as that was set twenty years before the main trilogy). We just don't come across it all in one particular game.

Because Muslims surgically implant organic bombs in their testicles, which in turn will be injected into women during sex, which will grow into BABY BOMBS!

If you read Contact Harvest there are Battle Rifles, although they are just prototypes.

CoD got boring. Halo got awsome. Crack me a new one.

Yeah, if you read Contact Harvest, which is chronologically the first in the series, they have battle rifles (although they are prototypes)
Dang post above me beat me to it :(

For Carnage Apply Within

They think that they have pacified Ireland. They think that they have purchased half of us and intimidated the other half. They think that they have foreseen everything, think that they have provided against everything; but the fools, the fools, the fools! — they have left us our Fenian dead, and while Ireland holds these graves, Ireland unfree shall never be at peace

stfu and i said not to post crap on the fourms plus why read the book when there's a game to play?
Because then you'll release how stupid you are for posting this. Also, his post wasn't "crap", your thread is.

What spectagon are you in?

It's a game calm down.

  • 07.18.2009 4:27 AM PDT

That's right. In Halo: Combat Evolved the UNSCDF didn't have Battle Rifles, and at the end they thought, "We need to make Battle Rifles for Halo 2!" And in Halo 2 Battle Rifles magicially came to life!

Seriously, the world is just hopeless.

So full of hate were our eyes that none of us could see
Our war would yield countless dead but never victory.
So let us cast our arms aside and like discard our wrath
Thou, in faith, will keep us safe, whilst we find the path

And halo 2 does not have assault rifles?

ITT: OP makes an error in claiming to have found fault with Halo: Reach's canon, spends rest of thread acting like a petulant child to those that call him out.

  • 07.18.2009 3:43 PM PDT

I am flatterd that you botherd to look at my signature.

in one of the books they had BR's..i think it's cause they were brand new and havent spread to the whole UNSC yet is all..

  • 07.18.2009 3:54 PM PDT

Battle Rifle's weren't on the Pillar Of Autumn so there weren't any ine Halo CE.

Also why is everyone complaining about Halo Wars? I don't see anything wrong with it except these 2 things:

The Spartans have shields

The Shield world doesn't look anything like the one does in Ghosts of Onyx, though this may be that the Halo rings weren't put on standby at that time.

I don't think that there's anything else wrong with it.

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


definitely

Life is interesting...

Well Halo Wars sucks so I am missing your point.

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

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.


If you look at the gameplay and see that as cannon, then yes, cannon was broken.

But, there were no shields or splazors in any cut-scene in Halo Wars.

What I think is strange in Halo Wars, is that the BR was used by the spartans in the Halo Wars trailer as it's said, and the ODST in the game uses freaking shotguns? That's what it sounds like to me atleast.

Anyway, there has been no words on any weapons for Halo Reach, atleast not what I've heard anyway.

You're right but seeing as the Spartan Laser is the M6 Spartan Laser doesn't that mean that there should have been another 5 models? Who's to say that it's not the M3 or M4?

Yeah you're right about the ODSTs too, they do use shotguns except the medic. Don't ask me why... I would've thought they'd use SMGs or assault rifles too.

How is this major?

  • 07.18.2009 4:56 PM PDT

Do weapons really matter to the story? Bungie shouldn't have to scrap a bunch of awesome weapon ideas and such just so it fits the storyline. There should be a BR in Reach cuz Bungie made it for gameplay purposes in Halo 2,3. Not to have things it in Reach that build on gameplay would be plain stupid imo.

In the End it's just a game.
