News Flash!, at 12:00 today on September 11, 3001, a group of extremist American cowboys crashed 2 large Arabian jet planes into the Pakistani world trade center. Was it coincidence, or was it just totally awesome, uber sweet payback!!!

I'm sure everyone has noticed this, but have you noticed that pretty much every gun in Halo doesnt really have a true model name or serial name, just assault rifle and SMG? Do you think it was just to make guns more simple and boring or just because they don't feel like making Halo feel somewhat realistic?

Halopedia has all the info and actually names for the weapons. Besides, would you want "Press RB to pick up M7 Caseless Sub-machine Gun" when playing Campaign or Multiplayer?

Veni, Vidi, Vici

Have you read your manual? There are model names and numbers.

Um... They only call it that in game so that you don't have to read a freaking long name.
SMG= M7/Caseless Submachine Gun
BR= BR55HB SR Battle Rifle
AR= MA5C Individual Combat Weapon System
Shotgun= M90 Close Assault Weapon System
Sniper= Sniper Rifle System 99D-S2 Anti-Matériel
Rockets= M41 SSR MAV/AW
Pistol= M6G Personal Defense Weapon System

And that is just the human weapons.

it does in the manual and why would you need it? It only complicates a game and saying M15A3Q watever ASSUALT RIFLE is much more complicated and unnessecary. I royally screwed up that sentence. It means that it's a video game, it's not supposd to have a model number.
