The Israiles have an excellent intelligence agency, an excellent military, and excellent weaponry. They have to. They're surrounded by enemies. If anyone has heard of the 4 day war, that's a good example.

The 4 day war was a war where pretty much everybody in the middle east said "hey, let's go kick Israil's ass". They all went and invaded, expecting an easy victory. They were defeated, in four (that's right, FOUR) days, simply because of the quality of Israil's air force, army, weaponry, and commanders.

Therefore, pretty much any weapon that comes from Israil is a good one ;).

The SAS is really good, I know, and the 4 day war I've heard of, that was kinda funny to me, Egypt got its butt kicked by Isreal, and the others stood no chance. Anyway, the training yeah, counts more, if a tiny little well trained country, like Isreal or the SAS group attacked a larger one, say Canada "Lol who wouldnt stand a chance to ANYONE" just because they got a lot of land and have more people they are gonna get their butts handed to them on a silver platter.

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

Things like the M-8 have been around since the 70s. The Colt1911 has 3 conversion packs that take less than 5 minutes to change. What's so new about caliber changing anyway? But I agree that current tachnology far surpasses Halo technology.

The reason why the technology of Halo weapons and vehicles is so low is because Bungie didn't want to take anything away from the storyline. Think about it... The games storyline is susposed to be about one lone hero who is susposed to save the humans and Earth from an alien onslaught. The humans are being pushed back to defending the Inner colonies from a very advanced alien species. If the humans had these ultra powerfull guns, basically they would have won right away. But the Covanant are susposed to be much more advanced to make the game difficult. They have plasma weapons and grenades, hover vehicles and aircraft. It wouldn't be very hard to kill Covenant if you had all these really powerfull weapons and vehicles that exceeded those of the Covenant.

Compare are technology now to the Covenants, which is in 500 or so years. The Covenant are much more advanced, right? How close are we right now, to having hover vehicles that have twin plasma cannons, guns that run off a plasma battery core, and something similar to a Banshee? Not very. Thats why in the game, the Master Chief is stuck in a 3-man jeep, while aliens are swooping around in much more advanced vehicles and have better weapons.

And about the game. At the current advancement of our technology right now, if in 500 years a warship discovered a giant ring in space that they believed belonged to the enemy, do you think they would land on it? Hell no! It's more likely they would just drop a giant bomb and blow the s**t out of it! Now wouldn't that be a fun game?

I just modded halo, making both tech faster, more accurate, bigger clips, It's AWESOME really fast-paced and action packed. Makes things faster and I think, much cooler...

Most of the Halo weapons are fine and work well for the story, except for the plasma weapons.

The slowness is ridiculous, especially the two speeds in Legendary. Slow for you and faster for the covenant.. Especially what's coming in light of our military.

Other than that did you guys ever try patterning the weapons like the shotgun or such.
When you look at the load fired from that shotgun you know why those flood just fly into pieces.

But we got a shotgun which has a bullet which would leave the flood in a liquid pile of goo, the newest version of the Jackhammer shotgun fires out of a drum of 8gauge buckshot ammo with 12 rounds and the accuracy where you can shoot it 3-times as far as the halo shotgun, it fires the whole shell and on impact it'll spread out like a shotgun, which will damage all nearby except for u because the spread would peel out of the sheel like a bannana, going to the sides and forward but not back at u.

i have an idea, look up future force warrior program, and joint force warrior. The armor is covered with screens which pick up surrounding immages and cloak it, and has bullet-proof armor, a hud, and everything, i'll find a link

We would win, chinese have masses, but they aren't too well trained (sorry china) we would have mass casualties, but we would win, the US has such a powerful air power u cant really imagine it, but the problem is we never use it to its full capability. If we went to war with china in a All out war, the air power would be unleashed and we would crush them flat

lol, it'd screw up the planet dropping that many nukes, but paveways, napalm, yay, that'll work, just drop a line around the country border (poor wall of china) and sloooowly move in with a line of bombs

when I first played halo 2 i was very disappointed. yes the battle rifle looked better but it wasn't it has burst shots which makes have to keep pulling the trigger. yes there is the dual smg but it isn't as good so really i hope they bring it back in halo 3.
