ALTOIDS RULE
So alot of people have been saying things like:
"oh, Halo Reach is a prequel to the halo series, and that means less weapons exist, like spartan laser, battle riffle, bubble sheild, spike grenade, ETC, because these things did not exist or were not invented yet in Halo CE, or Halo 2..
Others have countered this argument by stating that
the whole Halo CE-Halo 3 timeline only takes place at the end of the war, over a period of 1 or 2 months, when the UNSC was almost completly annihilated, therefore the UNSC couldn't have possibly created the bubble sheild in the 3 week canon gap between Halo 2 and 3, and even if things like the bubble sheild were not deployed to mainstream forces till the Halo 3 timeline, if one were to find the prototype bubble sheild anywhere pre-Halo 3, it would be Reach..
This is a completely legitimate counter, but how do you explain the MJOLNIR?
Let me explain..
The first time the Spartans II's used the MJOLNIR armor, they it was the Mk. IV, on November 2nd, 2525, at the beggining of the UNSC-Covie war.. The next time they upgraded their armor to the new Energy sheiled Mk. V, was 27 years later, on August 30th pretty much during the Battle of Reach (AKA Halo Reach timeline) and the end of the UNSC-Covie war.
Now here is the weird part..
The Gap between the Mk. IV and Mk. V upgrade was 27 years, but only around 2 months later, on October 20th, During the Battle of Earth, Master Chief upgraded to the Mk. VI..
Even though it took UNSC scientists 27 years to make a new upgrade, they were able to upgrade a 2nd time 2 months later despite the destruction of Reach, which should have been a significant setback..
My point it that the UNSC WERE able to develop new tech in the matter or a month or so, so it is very possible we may not see some weapons from Halo 2-3 make a comeback in Halo Reach, im NOT saying they won't, just that it is possible they may not.
and yeah.. but on the other hand, there could have been many prototype weapons and Tech that never survived the Battle of Reach to make a comeback later in the war that we may be able to use.. and yeah..
