Halo: Reach is a prequel, before the events of Halo: CE and Halo Wars.

Any equipment in Halo: Reach technically should be less advanced?

Any thoughts?

...Halo Reach was not before Halo Wars.
The battle of Reach occured like half a year before the events of Halo 3. I don't think either side's technology is going to improve that much in that time period.

My mistake, Halo: reach is before Halo: CE but way after Halo Wars.

Even so, the technology should still be less advanced?

Slightly. Think of Carbine like BR instead of the three shot burst?

No equipment, it ruined halo 3 for me.

This body holding me reminds me of my own mortality.
Embrace this moment. Remember. We are eternal.
All this pain is an illusion.

Is it just me, or does everyone like to hate on equipment?

Forum communities are like volunteer surveys. And the one of the things I kept from my AP Statistics class is that volunteer surveys are biased towards the negative.

It's a simple enough reason too: Happy people don't complain that they are happy.

I don't use equipment becuase I'm constantly trying to save it for that clutch moment. I either end up dying with it, never using it or using it for something trivial.

So equipment was kinda neutral on me.

Heres the time line (in years):
00-Wars
20-Reach
20-Ce
21-2
21-ODST
21-3
So tech won't be that different. If you look at Wars it's almost the exact same...

To keep this thread on track I propose the following weapon for Reach: The Sniker, a Spike Sniper Rifle.

It travels much faster than a regular Spike Round but over distances you need to lead the target. It shoots one explosive round that impales on the target for damage and after a second it explodes killing the target.

It always bothered me that Brutes used Carbines. This would be their replacement for it.
