Yep....

Here's a small and simple reason why what the title says^


It would be stupid to make new guns in Reach, why? They have never appeared ever in any story of Halo through the books or games, now don't you think it would be stupid for them to appear at that timeline, yet not appearing ever again?

I am a Halo 3 Failure.

No, they could implement new guns, I mean, if it isn't standard issue every ship shouldn't have to have one.

For canon reasons, no they can't. That is if they want to stick with the canon.

they could easily implement new guns, its a prequel so there could have been guns before masterchief that are now out of service.

Reach...is not that long before Halo: CE.
MOST LIKELY THE GAME WILL BE SET NOT LONG BEFORE IT.

Seriously, check this out.

I don't want to pay 60 bucks and not get any new weapons. I mean for god's sake it's what I'm buying Left 4 Dead 2 for!

They can implement new weapons. MA2B, MA5K. The rest of the MA2, MA5, and M6 (pistol) series.

Exactly, I mean not too ridiculious like a brand new completely different weapon. Because that would be stupid.

You mean like how they implanted the BR55 and the M7 in Halo 2, and how they implanted the Spartan Laser in Halo 3, even though it had never been mentioned in previous canon? New weapons can be retconned in easily in Reach. Halo Wars is considered canon, and there's loads of vehicles which has never appeared anywhere else.

Just because John never encountered [insert new weapon in reach] in Halo 1,2 or 3, doesn't meen it never existed.

And there's plenty of already existing weapons in Halo lore which hasn't appeared in the Halo games, like the M99 Stanchion, the confetti maker, HMG-38 etc.

Exactly, and I would kill to use that Stanchion rifle at least once in the game.

Didact's Reprisal -
Now is the time of our unworlding
One final effort is all that remains
And I am not afraid
We shall fulfill our promise
We fight for the grace of the Mantle
And this time none of you will be left behind

Sometimes you have to balance keeping the story accurate with making a great game.

Just rock to the rhythm of the funky Rhyme, So i can get busy just one more time.

im on steels side on this, if they only use guns that were in Halo CE then it would most definitely be a step in the wrong direction for Reach.

how is it that the silenced smg and the automag are in odst but not halo's 1 or 2

  • 08.17.2009 6:30 AM PDT

Thread is a waste . They could easily introduce a whole range of prototype weapons or top secret Guns and equipment projects that got scraped after reach . and TBH i think we all know what your trying to tell us with this thread but im sure we all know that bungie can do whatever they like and create a good loophole to why the weapon hadnt been mentioned before

In the days of old, there were legends of a land long lost to time. This land was known as Ranna'Mor. Ranna'Mor was said to contain in its borders 7 warriors. These warriors had once unleashed a veritable hell upon the ancient world, until they were locked away. My name is Toriad, and I am one of those warriors. Our return is approaching. Do not run away, do not cower in fear; take solace in your final days, for that is all we can do. -Legend of Ranna'Mor

For canon reasons, no they can't. That is if they want to stick with the canon.
They can add as many weapons as they want and still call it canon. If you've played Halo Wars or read any of the books, you'd know the hornet was around since before the Human-Covenant war, but was only first seen in Halo 3. The Spartan laser was first introduced in Halo 3, but seen in Halo Wars.

Basically, any weapons added can be considered canon. Weapons added later can be retroactively added to the canon.

That's because those are add ons to the weapons.

Reach is a prototype weapon testing facility and the training ground for the Spartans, and the Spartans are basically a weapon.
