Turns out that a lot of the technology in halo, (500 or so years in the future), is'nt as good as modern day technology. I like halo, I'm not sayin its bad, just saying that today, we got SMGs with farther reach and more power than the halo SMG. We are workin on caseless ammo in the military which could be completed from what ive checked out within the next 20 or 30 years. We are currently working on Mark VI-esque armor which they have the final finishing date as 2024. And that armor may not be quite as strong or have shilds but its partially bullet proof and accually heals the soldier inside, besides that its basically the same.
Just sayin that bungie should make halo a little more futuristic if its 500 years in the future, just take some improvements into consideration.

i want the weapon sounds to be louder and more powerful sounding (shotgun sounds wimpy). Bring back the assault rifle for halo 3.

oh, no casings. The only benefit from that is a little less littering.

No casings makes the clip bigger and makes the bullets quieter because they wouldn't require gun powder.

the HK G11 is a current day gun like what im talkin about, a 100 round 4.56mm clip with a 300meter effective range, caseless, and is an awesome gun, gauss is a bunch of metal shot by a magnet, nothing like the G11, look up the G11 if u dont beleive me

lol yeah, but ours, the M8 Assault rifle is good, and we're better trained and have a bigger army and also HK works for USA too, so we have G11s

Wow... Halo is a fictional game thats NOT based on reality. It's kinda creepy that you know so much about guns, yet you're posting in a video game forum.

whats wrong with knowing about weapons? nothing....

Yea you all have a point there, but hey its only fictional...but I hope in Halo 3 they have much more beefier guns... I think they should bring back the assult rifle, but make it reallly bad A$$....and not look all funky, like in the first game..

i'm concerned about the weapon sound effects. the weapons, especially the shotgun, sounds whimpy. The assault rifle should come back, but make it look battle scarred.

A gauss rifle projects a bullet using stored kinetic energy and magnetic fields - which may or may not be created by electromagnets. The reload time on a guass rifle would prrove restrictive for combat.

in halo ce, u can have those weapons, and the guns are cool in halo, but what I'm sayin is, I'm kinda disappointed with those weapons vs. modern day ones. I know about modern guns too much yeah, I know a little TOO much about the military, and the new technology comin out.

the gauss gun is good, thats what i mean, so is the warthog machine gun, just no edjeting shells. And the AR and the shotgun should be more accurate.

The XM8 is pretty sweet. Its light cause of it's polymer construction, changes from a rfle to a carbine, sniper, or a support weapon IN THE FIELD, and can even change clibers, if Im not mistaken.

No longer XM 8, the X is the test letter showing that its still in production or a test design, once its completed, basically it is, its called the M8 instead

Don't drink to excess– You might shoot at tax-collectors... and miss

Is it creepy if a model car collector actually drives? I find it creepy that people are so brainwashed by the anti-gun lobby that they think knowing about guns is creepy.

People shoot for sport, for food and for self defense.

Next time you're getting mugged, ask the mugger to hold on while you dial 911.

Good point that you have there, Simon. Guns are only dangerous in the hands of those who don't know how to handle them properly. Unless, of course, if you're dealing with a blackpowder weapon. *coughexplosioncough*

But do you know what else is a good weapon? The Israeli Galil. Mua ha ha. Sniper rifle, assault rifle, rocketlauncher, and machine-gun all in one. The Israeli Military Industry makes some really good weapons...like the .50 Desert Eagle.

:p

but we got awesome weaponry, the M82 Anti-Material rifle or the M104 the updated 20mm version. Especially the M29 and the newest M8 LMG, which is really nice. The maelstrom is cool too because it has like 50 rounds in a pistol and is caseless, but does as much damage as a desert eagle or a M1911 Colt Magnum

Halo CE = Lan party
Halo 2 = Live
The reason so many people think halo 2 takes no skill is because in halo ce the only competition were friends in the next room. when the same people get on live, they realize they are no where close to being the best and therefore blame their loss on unbalance in the weapons and game.

my gamercard

actually modern tachnology is takin away from halo and now r experimentin with super soldiers kinda like the spartans or like the soldiers in ghost recon. ghost recon is more futuristic than halo, except halo has plasma technology and space travel.
