heres my question, why is it called the Spartan Laser? Spartan's didnt make it and it doesnt shoot spartans (that would just be silly).

  • 08.19.2009 8:35 AM PDT

The reason why is because Halo 3 ODST takes place after Halo 2 but Before Halo 3 thats why!!!

For every action, there is an equal and opposite airstrike.

WRONG.

Halo Wars is as much a Halo games as the main series. It was built using the Halo Bible, ergo, it is canon. Spartan Lasers however may not have been supplied to the In Amber Clad, thus they where not present during the Delta Halo assault.

Because it kicks people into the pit of death like a Spartan.

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


halo wars was a rip off i mean it is the worst halo game so far

There are two things on this forum that piss me off;
Idiots and group invites.
What's even worse, is that I can never seem to get away from either of them ¬_¬

"I would have been your daddy, but the dog beat me over the fence."

Sigh, you people just don't understand how video games work do you? Here's a quick run-down.

When a game is made, it has good points and bad points. The sequal is created to adress these problems while enhancing the good parts of gameplay. This may include, but not limited too, more weapons.

Now, some producers like to keep it cannon and have these weapons created during the game itself to keep things running smoothly. However, most producers, such as Bungie, simply create a backstory and leave it at that.

So, the simple answer is: The Spartan Laser wasn't in Halo 2 because Bungie hadn't created it yet.

To be a rip off, I think it would have to be something like a FPS. Next, you're going to call the anime a ripoff too.

Maybe they werent in Halo 2 BECAUSE THEY DIDNT WANT TO USE THEM

  • 08.19.2009 8:50 AM PDT

Ohai, I'm Loscocco (pronounced Loss-cocoa). I'm a college student (computer science major), 3D animator, and long-time Halo player.

Apparently- the Spartan Laser dates back to Halo Wars which is a little after the battle on Harvest... So that is about 10 years before Halo:CE. They just didnt introduce it until Halo 3 because most of the weapons in Halo:CE were basics- perhaps the Pillar of Autumn did not issue any of these weapons.

You can't compare an RTS to a FPS, they're two completely different things.

  • 08.19.2009 8:51 AM PDT

Two things about this post:

1. Spartan Laser. How do you know that the ODST's didn't have it first? With all the new equipment they have how do you know that the spartan laser wasn't intended for ODST use before the marines got it?

2. You've never played as Johnson before. How do you know he doesn't have an invisible helmet? O_o

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.


the assault rifle was in halo 1 but not in halo 2 but in halo 3 so what this tells me is that it doesn't matter what weapons are in what games hell there could be dozens of weapons we don't know about the sparten laser could have been alive during the first halos but master chief may have only used it in halo 3 doesn't mean everybody did what he did.

  • 08.19.2009 8:56 AM PDT

The only thing i can say is :

THEY USED THE HALO 3 ENGINE SO THEY DON'T WANT TO CUT OUT TOO MANY WEAPONS

The developers hadn't thought it up back in halo 2... blame In Amber Clads limited weapon supply.

For Tru7h and Honor

look just because it did not APPEAR in halo 2 does not mean i was not made yet ok?

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...


Contact harvest also tells us that johnson was one of the first people to use the BR, BEFORE halo ce.

While I completely agree with your User Name, I have to point some things out to you.

Halo 3: ODST uses Halo 3's Sandbox which means all the Game Code is in there from Halo 3. This means the Spartan Laser is in the Game Code until removed and why would they do that? It's the single most powerful weapon in the game. This game gets rid of the Plasma Rifle but without Flood to fight, I'm not worried. As for Firefight, when Tilt Skull gets activated, I'm going to need a faster firing weapon. The Brute Plasma Rifle gives me a better chance to burn off a Brute's armor and then fire off two quiet shots from my Auto Mag. Goodbye Monkey Boy.

Now to address you're Silencer complaint. The Auto Mag is quiet. End of story. The SMG? Well the SMG is a very noisy weapon to begin with but the silencer does muffle it somewhat. But why do you care? The thing has a scope! So does the Auto Mag. I don't know why you're complaining but if you don't like it, don't buy it. MW2 looks fun too but in my opinion, unless it has another Zombie mode, it's not worth buying. Plus Firefight kicks ass!

It's ok. It's really challenging and a completely different type of Halo game. It just gives a RTS a Halo twist. I still prefer my normal Halo games by far but Halo Wars wasn't a complete waste of money. I did get the Mythic Maps early :P

Incorrect, read this.

In regards to the main thread I imagine that the Spartan Laser may have been unavailable for the majority of the UNSC and reserved for use by special forces such as Spartans and ODST's. It may have not been in use in Halo 2 because it was not needed or available. I don't imagine it being a widely used weapon.

yeah good idia

  • 08.19.2009 9:45 AM PDT

acualy if you look at the ODST meet the team it shows all ODST guy unit type clasified so it could be that they got to use a new weapon that was classifeid at that time.
