Fight with Glory...Die Gloriously

Okay we all know that the game takes place during Halo 2 nearing towards Halo 3.
We all got that part.
BUT!!!
How come we get to use Spartan Laser this time arround but not back in Halo 2? I know weare going to play ODST's and they have "UBER SICK WEAPONS WITH SILENCERS THAT DON'T EVEN DO THEIR JOB" but that's something that I personnaly don't think it will outcome well.
I'm not trying to flame you dear Bungie I am waiting for this game because it does look great but I just wanted to point that out.

Now question to the community what do you think about it? Do you agree with me in a way? Or don''t you really care about it as long the game is Sick?

Peace.

Halo Wars wasn't made by Bungie therefore for me it's a Rip Off Halo game not a Halo Game.

Let me say it again. It's a video game. Why would someone think about something as insignificant as the Spartan Laser not being in Halo 2 but in Halo 3 ODST?

I would think about something a little more important like blowing up 2 banshees that are after you.

Why does it matter.

Maybe from Halo Wars(before Halo:CE) They had lasers set up and then through to ODST they didn't work properly and it was the lasers that were flawed and now in ODST through Halo 3, they managed to get them to work flawlessly.

It is not a ''rip off''. And if you think so then you are an idiot.

if knowledge is power and power corrupts, isn't knowledge therefore dangerous?
Black Tower

You know, tanks exist.
Why haven't I gotten to use one yet then?

Just because it's there, doesn't mean you get to use it.

MC is here,

ODSTs with spartan lasers are over here, AFTER MC jumped

See what I'm getting at?

Explanation off the top of my head: (even without Halo Wars)

The ship carrying our beloved Rookie had just been given a shipment of new weapons (Silenced SMG, Automag) and were given a shipment of Spartan Lazers, one of the first. The chief was on a Orbital Cannon, which wasn't supposed to be receiving state of the art weapons all the time, and the troops on the ground were defense forces with outdated equipment.

NO GROUP INVITES!!!

Just because SMG is not present in Halo CE doesn't mean it doesn't exist in the universe at that point. It appears in Halo 2 but also in Contac Harvest, 27 years before Halo CE.
So its really simple that Splazer is in ODST but not in Halo 2. There is no mistake. And generally, the more recent product trumps older ones.
And while Halo Wars is not made by Bungie, its fully considered as canon by them (i think there was a quote about that). And real canon is decided by Microsoft, Halo IP is theirs. So Splazers existed even before Halo CE...

To quote from Bungie (this was the response to people asking how Johnson would use VISR):

It's a -blam!- game.

Moving on.


Simple really.

  • 08.19.2009 7:40 AM PDT

It's like saying, "Why is Johnson in Firefight!? Isn't he with the Chief in Halo 2?"

  • 08.19.2009 7:40 AM PDT

ShadowFox179

It wasn't in Halo 2 because Bungie hadn't thought of it yet.

Feel free to msg me over B.net or XBL if you wan't to talk halo or any other game.

Hey here's how you fix the problem.

Halo2 took place before the laser.

Halo3 has laser

halo ODST takes place between halo2 and 3.

So if my guess is correct they must have deployed the laser when MC leaves because ODST's get the best equipment first. Sooo there you go!

Either way that game has many faults and you shouldn't compare their work to Bungie's.

  • 08.19.2009 8:12 AM PDT

Look at halo wars, It was in halo wars. Just because you did not get it in one game dose not mean it dose not exist.
Look at the AR. that was not in halo 2 but its in halo 1 and 3. Maby the SL was not on Ciro station or on InAmber Clad.

Enig, do not click this.

they dont want to take away an old power weapon!! and it could have been classified except 4 the ODSTs.

  • 08.19.2009 8:14 AM PDT

Because the writing staff hadn't thought of the Spartan Laser back in '04.

1. Ensemble got their facts from Bungie on how to make it work properly.
2. Bungie stated Halo Wars is now Canon to the Halo Universe.
3. Halo Wars is an RTS, not an RPG. Learn your gaming types.

Q. Wait a second! How will Johnson use VISR-mode? He doesn't even have a helmet!

A. It's a -blam!- video game.

To you it may be a rip off game, but it doesn't make it any less canon.

Big Team Battle Multiflag/Slayer on Standoff/Valhalla/Sandtrap/Avalanche = Win

I think the battles in Halo 3 were more critical then the battles of Halo 2, which is why they weren't being frugal when it came to supplying weapons.
