Reach is set before Halo:CE so why not have the same weapon set thats in Halo:CE?
The same Pistol, AR, Sniper Rifle etc. To me, it would make more sense if it was like this, OR, if there were to be new weapons, they should be earlier versions of weapons we come across in Halo 2 and 3?

What are your thoughts?

...Does anyone really read these?

Lots of guns. I dont give a damn if it doesnt make sense with the cannon.
Maybe the pillar of autumn (halo 1) just didn't have all of the guns on it. Same with vehicles.

Thats probably what Bungie would say to get out of it. Not a bad point though, lol.

The entire trilogy takes place within only about a year time frame. So it's fair to say that the SMG, BR, Beam Rifle, etc. existed back during Halo: CE, since it was only a few months before Halo 2 and 3. So it doesn't really matter what weapons they have as far as the story goes. Plus in "The Fall of Reach" Dr. Halsley gives the Spartan Blue team new types of weapons and Mjolnir parts deep within the ONI caves.
I say bring back every weapon that was in the entire trilogy. And the silenced weapons from ODST. And make it all balanced, of course.
