but humanity is obviously stuck in a technological rut if it's still reliant on conventional ballistic firearms. AK-47 would be more viable than you'd think, it wouldn't be like a musket today.

Technological rut? They have fusion cores that fit into backpacks for Spartans.

The only problem it appears they are having is compacting an energy source further into a weapon sized package. Hence why the SpLaser is as bulky and ackward to use and why we don't see hand-held MAC guns.

And while the Human weapons hold some resemblance to todays weapons we have no concept of their power compared to real-life weapons. I mean, the Magnum doesn't shoot bullets anymore. It shoots something more analgous to a GRENADE.

So I repeat myself. It would a fun little reskin. But actual weapon? No. Besides this is Halo, not CoD:MW2

Great post buddy.
Almost as good as this one.

My troll sense is tingling.

They're worthless now, what makes you think they'll be a decent weapon in more than 500 years in the future? Next thing you'll be saying is that you're going to raid the Death Star armed with nothing more than a wooden spoon.

i hate many people, i am also like many of those people... that makes me a hypocrite

no they're already on the AK-102 so I'd say they would be on the AK-343 [just as a way to make bungie add it because it would be hilarious to be running around at least one mission with an AK kicking names and taking ass

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

The MA5B, MA5C, and MA5K serve the assault weapon purposes in the Halo universe.

And none of these weapons ever jam.....

Iam enjoying Halo Reach and revisiting some past Bungie games, iam a big fan of Bungie and their online community.

Regardless of how reliable and cheap the AK-47 is, i doubt it will be used still in the far future.

I'd settle for an updated assault rifle resembling the AK. The insurgents or whatever have to use something.

Also, if you've never shot a gun or AK for that matter, please don't act like you're a reliable source or something. This would be an awesome addition to halo that shouldn't be held back by firearm virgins.

No.

500 years and 60 years are two different things.

No signature found. Click here to change this.

I think not. I would much rather have my trusted generic "SMG". There's no need to stress specific weapons in a game like Halo, which had it's weapon base centered around simplicity. I'll take a no-fail, no jam, free-to-use SMG in Halo over an AK.

Who is this retard?
The AK-47 is a big pile of s**t!
you know how f***ing unreliable they are in real combat?
No, because you obviously have no actual f***ing experience with guns.

AK's fall to pieces like the s**t they are.
That's why most terrorists use them. They're f***ing cheap. Both financially and physically.


which is why there rated the best assult rifles in the world right now?

omfg. another COD lover in the forums.

GTFO!

The AK should be in a glass case in a museum on Reach, where a mission takes place of course, break the glass, grab your gun and your good to go.
And then you can press the trigger and it turn into dust.

Death to rank junkies.

Wow...that is truly an epic fail.

They're extremely reliable.

No AK though. New guns, variations of old ones, no AKs/M4s/etc

This is what I'm talking about, kiddies talking guns when they're uninformed and uneducated on the subject. The AK is a rifle good sir, and is more related to the AR if anything.

A 500 year old gun?

Why not just give the Spartans a Blunderblus, or a Claymore?

The AK is an extremely reliable firearm that has withstood the test of time time. It's as popular as it was sixty years ago. I think it should be in Halo Reach. I know it would be antiquated by Halo's timeline, but who really cares? The AK-47 would be an excellent midrange weapon with a lot of firepower.

I can see making a joke skin of the AK-47 or M16 that replaces the AR skin for some maps the same way the Golf Club is a reskin of the Gravity Hammer.

But an actual weapon? No.

This.

  • 11.14.2009 3:30 PM PDT

Derp.

Bad idea is bad.

Seriously, from a gap (1947-2552; 605 years) that large, humans would replace/stop using an AK-47.

Besides, some of the new weapons in Reach are super sweet (Since Bungie WILL make some awesome weapons in Reach, I haven't seen them).

Would you want an antique or something brand-spankin' new?

I used to get on these forums back in the Halo 1, anticipating Halo 2 days...I'm back :)

Educate yourself and get some real life experience before you dismiss the AK as 'unreliable' or 'highly inaccurate'.


No. Just no. I thought you stopped making these threads. Sure, The AK has lasted 60 years but that doesn't mean it will last 500! This is one of the dumbest threads I've seen.

And I've fired my fair share of Military weapons. I was in the Army. I've fired an SKS, an M16 A2 and A3, an M203 Grenade Launcher, An M249 Squad Automatic Weapon, and M240Bravo and an AT-4 Rocket Launcher, I've also thrown a few fragmentation grenades. And I couldn't see ANY of those weapons being used by an advanced Military force in 500 years.

I'm so tired of these threads, but I guess the mods can't close a thread just for having a dumb idea...

Nothing is better than gaming through the day, into the night, then back into the day. It's like when you finally push that power button you feel like you've accomplished nothing, but at the same time, you can't stop smiling.

I bet you learned all that from Wikipedia and COD.
